Best Games You've Ever Played

[DeeBye]

I'm a little disappointed that there is no mention of Ocarina Of Time here.

To be honest, I thought Ocarina was overrated. Fun to play, and definitely a remarkable game, but the kinds of "best evar" kudos it got were too much.

Now, Majora's Mask? That was a game. The "3 days" mechanic was amazing, and the game was so carefully thought out. Also, A Link to the Past was also better, IMO.

I think we have to decide on whether a "top 5" game is looked at from today's perspective or from the perspective of when the game actually came out. Today's games are definitely a lot better than those of yesteryear (for the most part), but I prefer to look at it with the thinking "what was the most fun I ever had playing a videogame?"

OoT blew me away when it came out. It was all the fun of classic Zelda, but made 100 times more epic. I can't honestly say that it's "better" than some of the more modern games, but by 1998 standards it was incredible.

For what it's worth, the most fun I ever had while gaming was playing the WoW beta. Other games that are in the same boat are Resident Evil 2, Super Metroid, FF7, Rogue Squadron, Portal, and Bubble Bobble in the arcade. I also had an incredibly fun night playing Combat with my brother on an Atari Flashback. Beer was involved with that last one, so my memory might be hazy.

P.S. Majora's Mask was sort of "meh" for me. Wind Waker was much better.
