Yeah, Will Wright is definitely a genius, but has he influenced the gaming world as much as Miyamoto?Although Wright's games are absolutely coolarific, and he's definitely had huge influence, I think pioneering the platform game puts Miyamoto ahead. |

Jesus Christ, that fat guy annoyed the hell outta me. The nasaly voice was textbook geek, and his pvercompensation type styling wasn't helping either. |

Victory7, I believe that we can reach a favourable middle ground at Half Life 2. And maybe Portal? If you haven't played it, I would recommend it with every fibre of my being. |

@WeeToddDid
Thanks for at least not flaming me, I respect that. I've never been too enthusiastic about the story in my games, it has to be seamlessly blended into the game, otherwise I feel like I'm playing a game and being forced to watch a five minute movie every time I do something. But my personal favorite, now that's a tough one. If I had to choose one (single player) videogame to store in a vault while the Earth was nuked to preserve humanity, I'd probably go with the Half-Life 2. I swear, I've played through that game at least a dozen times, and every time I do, I see something I didn't see previously. There were no cutscenes, no levels, no interruptions, just one massive adventure with so many events to see that I would be happy playing 10 years from now. The only problem with "the greatest game ever" question is that I have plenty of games in different genres that would deserve the title, so I'm really not content with just saying Half-life is the best. |

my favorite zelda is a link to the past and a link to the future (theyre the same game, but different name/cartridge artwork) |

@Victory7,I think the flames you got were because your original answer was a bit acerbic, even if it wasn't intended so!
I'd reject the claim that I was young at the time it came out, I'd been playing games for a while, but I still remember the effect Ocarina had on me. I would agree the story is a bit cliché, but it's the storytelling that is the most compelling aspect the game for me. The plot twists, the sweeping cut-scenes and endless subquests were delivered perfectly, and the fact that these were new innovations in gaming only intensified the magic I felt when I played. Other games may have emulated this, but an update in graphics or lengthening the story or adding "immersion" does't make a game "better" in my humble opinion.
For me, Ocarina is timeless. It's like films, or books. Star Wars is my favourite film, despite it's age and graphics. Which game is your favourite then? PS I loved Majora's Mask's darker tones, but it was too subtley |

They didn't even mention Pikmin! It wasn't the "bestest" seller, but, it was huge!Augh. And, Ocarina of Time was pretty damn awesome, but, I must say I enjoyed Majora's mask more at the time. The characters had a lot more life to them, they were better designed and more realistic. LoZ: Twilight Princess schools them all, however. |

Hahaha! Wow, I sure did get a lot of feedback/flame for that last comment I made. I'll try to answer them all:
The game is fun, but what I felt that there is really no replay value, many people will say it was the greatest simply because they were young at the time and remember it being one of the few good N64 games that came out in it's early years (don't make me start on Halo for the Xbox, ugh). Sure, it introduced new concepts to the gaming world, but games after it did it so much better that Ocarina eventually became eclipsed by them. Ocarina's story is mediocre at best (evil dude kidnaps princess (holy poo, Mario anyone??) and guy goes on a thrice replictaed quest to save her). The plot for Ocarina is the same for every Zelda game before it, just in 3D. Look, Ocarina isn't a bad game, it's a great game, but not the best. I have to laugh at the comment by "littleb" though, because Ocarina of Time was lauded as having the best graphics of the year. What do you say t |

Shigeru took video games in directions no one had thought of before and actually made them fun for everyone. |
