    I definitely think age and nostalgia color our choices when we make lists like this.

    You know, I'd have to disagree with you. I'm only 14, so Pac Man was still behind my time, I didn't realy play it a lot as a child, and there is nothing to make it a nostalgic experience for me. I simply just find it to be the funnest, most enjoyable, best game ever.

    I don't find that surprising at all. A friend of mine and his 6 year old kid were over here a while back and his kid was playing Galaga on my 360. He was just as taken with it as his dad and I were.

    Best games ever created? To me it would be:


    1. Super Mario Sunshine
    2. Ratchett and Clank 2 and 3
    3. Jak 2 and 3
    4. Halo 1, and 2
    5. Timesplitters 2 and 3

    I loved all those games.


    I'll need some time to decide whether the current PS3 and Xbox games make the list.

    hmmmm... I like The Sims 3, Battlefront, Final Fantasy series, Tales of series, JEDI KNIGHT 2 OMG Kyle Katarn is awesome !
    I love the Persona series (which hardly anyone heard of :() it's great !

    And I wonder if anyone heard of this: Catz and Dogz ? It was like virtual pets for sad kids like me who wanted a real pet :p
    There was a virtual Babyz version too where you raise babies... I had it when I was like 10 lol
    Don't know if they're the best games lol, but I used to spend all day on it XD

    I've heard of Persona yet never played it. They are supposed to be very good RPGs, which is great for me because I've developed a taste for them over the last year and a half. Now might be a good time to hunt for one given that my PS2 is rotting away unused.[face_laugh]

    I just wanted to add that if I'm allowed to let nostalgia get in the way of my decisions then I have to add Metal Gear Solid 1 to the 'greatest game ever' hall of fame. It was the first game to blow me away rather than just keep me entertained, it was an engrossing experience that sucked me in and made me care through a mix of excellent direction, original and thoughtful gameplay and (at the time) amazing set pieces.

    Anyone who was there knows the tension during the sniper showdown amongst the snow drift against Sniper Wolf, the gut wrenching sacrifice Gray Fox makes while fighting Metal Gear Rex and the pulse pounding rappel down the side of the facility. It was the first game to have the 'Star Wars' effect on me and while I love the sequels too it's the original MGS that hogs that special place in my heart.[face_love]

    My all time #1 has to be GTA IV, the gameplay is smooth, the story pretty cool, and the online suff is fun. That being said, PS3 needs to hurry up and put pout some new DLC for this game.

    Beides GTA, my top five would go something like this:
    #2 Ms. Pac Man
    #3 Mario Bros. (before they were Super)
    #4 SW Battlefront 2
    #5 SW Rogue Squadron (the one released for Game Cube)
