    Yeah...for those of you who never played Phantasy Star II, this is where Final Fantasy 7 got it's idea from....

    Better than any FF game. Period!

    But as for greatest game of all time? Zelda:OoT is up there. All game journalists can't be wrong.

    Why does everybody always pick some classic, inferior game thats old as hell as TGVOAT? I could name 20 games right off the top of my head that kick Zelda's *kitten*. Skyrim, Dishonered, God Of War, Uncharted, etc.

    I guess different strokes...

    Because sometimes it isn't all about technical excellence and the latest and greatest whizz-bang technology, sometimes it is where the game sat in your life and how much it pushed the genre forward.

    In Elite's case, this was a lot.

    Wireframe black and white graphics and all :)

    In X-Com's case, as the latest apparently attempt to 're-imagine' it shows, tactical depth never goes out of fashion.

    For Half Life it was watershed release in the FPS genre.

    That and some people in their 40s don't have time to play the latest games in depth and just like go on a nostalgia trip occasionally. ;)

    Right on, commander.

    Yes both Portals and Half life series are greats for sure. There are so many its really hard to pick just one as the greatest.

    Final Fantasy VII. Greatest game of all time, says so right there on the box!

    I still like the metal gear series, halo, Uncharted, ratchet and clank, PGR,wipeout, Lost Oddessy, TR1, tie fighter, tekken.
    Awww yeah, some Lost Odyssey love! It has all of the attention to detail in characters/music/setting that the Final Fantasy series lost when Hironobu Sakaguchi left. You actually care about the characters.

    Yeah...for those of you who never played Phantasy Star II, this is where Final Fantasy 7 got it's idea from....
    A good recent essay on Phantasy Star II from Jeremy Parish (Editor in chief of 1up.com)
    http://telebunny.net/toastyblog/2012/09/gamespite-journal-12-phantasy-star-ii/
    His point being that yes, Phantasy Star II was groundbreaking, and set a precedent for games like Final Fantasy IV and VII, but the latter did it better.

    Some of my favorites growing up were Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Star Fox, Mario Kart, Ocarina of time, and a game probably not many people have heard of called Secret of Mana. Today though I would go with Starcraft, Diablo, Fallout and COD as the games I play the most.

    As for the guy who said OoT and FF7 were over-rated... you can go die in a hole filled with poo.

    This made me giggle like an idiot for a good 3 minutes.

    My daughter and I played the crap out of OoT together. My husband and I played the crap out of FF7 together. Both games have a special place in my heart. My all time fave game has to be Skyrim though. I'd say Red Dead Redemption but the ending made me :sad:. Seriously.

    Morrowind! Or FF7, they're both fantastic. :)
