Edge magazine has apparently gone through the thankless task of compiling what they think are the Top 100 greatest video games of all time.
Here is the top ten:
1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina
2. Resident Evil 4
3. Super Mario 64
4. Half Life 2
5. Super Mario World
6. Zelda: A Link to the Past
7. Halo: Combat Evolved
8. Final Fantasy XII
9. Tetris
10. Super Metroid
I can vouch for RE4, HL2, Super Metroid and Tetris being pretty great.
For fanboy conspiracy theorists, five games in the top 10 are first party Nintendo titles, and one game (RE4) started out as a Nintendo exclusive and has now shown up on two of their consoles.
I have a Gamecube compatible copy of Ocarina of Time I have never played. Since I don't own a Wii yet the Gamecube is still in the closet. Maybe it deserves one last spin. FF XII is also dirt cheap right now in an EBGames special. Hmmmmmm.......after The Darkness turned out to be a pitifully short, although very satisfying experience, I'm ready to get back on the video game horse...It has been far too long.
Any other recommendations of recent awesome games?
