What's the Best Video Game Ever?
Ridge Racer was the first and only racing game that i played so much I knew every little nook and cranny of the race track. I knew exactly when to start my power slide and when to end it (to shave off that 1 tenth of a sec). My bro would put up a new best time on time trial and I would keep racing till I beat it.
Was this game revolutionary. Of course. Name the best racing game before this game came out?? What ever you come with it would pale in comparison to this game. I remember the first time I got to the end of the game and had to beat the Black car my heart was beating so fast.
Few other cool things about this game that were great.
Where most games had load screens in this you get to play Galaga (one of the best games ever)
The other cool thing was after the you loaded your game you could pull out the disc and put in any audio CD and cruise to whatever Music you like. (I recommend the Offspring but any fast paced music will do)

[QUOTE=JustLikeHeaven]Mine probably changes every other week, but this is the one that sticks out to me at the moment.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)
It was between this and Super Metroid and since I'm more of a horror guy than a Sci-fi guy I had to go with SOTN.
Symphony of the Night is gaming perfection to me. It blended oldschool 2D graphics with brand new gameplay elements and excellent level design. It had tons of secrets, replay value and most importantly it was simply a joy to play and explore.

I think Super Metroid wins on music and atmosphere though (both essential to this type of game), and it was the first to perfect the formula. But SOTN would also probably make my top 3.

However, the answer to your question... the greatest game ever... Ever, in all the history of video games... indeed, the history of the WORLD... bar none, hands down, is... is...
TETRIS! Doesn't matter what version, what console. Tetris just rules. It just RULES, I tell you! It's so simple it's even been successfully ported to keychains, for goodness sake. It was even backwards ported to the 2600 (homebrew, sure, but what other modern game can you say that about?)
Tetris is the best thing to come out of Russia since Vodka. Oh, and rocketry.

Can you honestly say that Tetris is a fun game? Addictive, yes. Ridiculously monotonous and mind-numbing after a bit, indeed.

Super C and Contra come close, as well.

[QUOTE=JasonhasRSI][QUOTE=BigOldCar]Critic, you're absolutely right about Centipede being that rare game that crosses the gender divide. I'd never even heard of it (I was like ten at the time) before this woman at the church community center started talking about how much she enjoyed it.

I agree, Tecmo Super Bowl is definitely in the conversation. Other NES games that could contend for the top spot include:
Contra
Life Force
Super Mario Bros. 1-3
Mega Man 2
Ninja Gaiden
What a great system!
