PLEASE, WHAT IS THE DEFINITIVE LIST OF THE BEST VIDEO GAMES EVER?

5/4/2018

Do you know what's really pointless? Definitive "Best Thing Ever" lists. If that's what you're after... walk away now. Go do something else. Go and look at some sales data, you stupid robot. You know: 'cause sales are always a definitive way to gauge the goodness of a thing aren't they? Tsk.

"TSK!"

You see, it's very hard - if not impossible - to be objective about anything when, ultimately, we all have our own subjective experiences, likes, dislikes, and opinions. Yeah, you might be able to have a fair crack at a list of the most influential or important games, but... a list of The Best Ones? It's always going to come down to individual preference, no matter how much you may claim to be taking yourself out of the equation. 

So here, then, because it's long overdue, is MY list of the best games ever. At least, this is where I'm at today. Tomorrow it might change. Or I might remember ones I've left off. That's how people work, stupid: we're fallible! Stop trying to think we all have to be perfect. God's sake.

Do I really think all of these games deserve to be on such a list? No, but their inclusion is down to a myriad of factors; how did they affect me? How did they make me feel? Did they stay with me long after I finished playing them?

And were they the first games which sprung to mind when I thought I should do a list like this? 
HALF-LIFE 2
Picture
Admittedly, there are few Best Game Ever lists which wouldn't include Half-Life 2, and those lists are written by The Sillies. Nevertheless, it's here - in my very own list - as well.

There's little I can add to the plaudits which have already been smeared upon Half-Life 2's barren, dystopian, loins, but for me the reason it really stands proud are two-fold. Firstly, it revolutionised storytelling in video games in a way which - regrettably - few games have built upon. There are no cut-scenes; dialogue, exposition, and world-building, are all kept within the game itself.

Secondly, what it really achieves for me is a sense of space. It's a remarkably restrained experience.

There are bursts of action and noise, but it's a very quiet game, where for long periods you're simply exploring a brilliantly-realised environment, in the early stages of decay. It builds atmosphere like no other shooter. In fact, you know what it reminds me of? The latter-day output of the band Talk Talk; quiet, sometimes unsettling, punctuated by occasional bursts of chaos.

​Spirit of Eden would've made the perfect soundtrack album.
CRACKDOWN
Picture
Crackdown makes it onto my list for one reason alone: it's the only game with a collecting element - in this case, glowing orbs - which has driven me to want to collect every single thing.

Why? A combination of their placing - often atop massive skyscrapers and the like - which can only be accessed via your character's steadily-increasing superpowers.

​Few games - with the exception of, perhaps, Saints Row IV and inFamous - have made the player feel so powerful; literally leaping tall buildings in a single (or, at least, three or four) bound. Crackdown 1 and 2 are ridiculous, over-the-top, games, but the collecting of the orbs for once feels essential, rather than just padding.
CALL OF DUTY 3
Picture
Probably not the best Call of Duty - that might be the original Modern Warfare - but Call of Duty 3 is one of the few games I've played online to the point of boredom. I was going through a bit of a rough time in life, and logging on in the evenings to play with my mates really helped me through it. Therefore, I have retained something of a wet patch for it. 
SKOOL DAZE
Picture
Games don't have to be set in fantastical environments to be fantasy. Skool Daze occurred in a regular British school that was all-too familiar, except... you got to live out your dreams of ill-behaviour, bunking off lessons, drawing things on the boards, and shooting teachers with catapults.

I'd say that Skool Daze potentially inspired more bad behaviour from me - and a generation of school kids - than any hyper-violent game.

Case in point: I once drew a penis on a roll of overhead projector acetate, and then reeled it back so that Mr Maddison wouldn't see it until he was in the middle of a lesson. Also, I put a rubber in his cup of tea, and got thrown out of his classroom when I replied "Oyez! Oyez!"  after he attempted to control his unruly students by shouting "Now hear this..."
PEGGLE
Picture
Yeah, I know. It's weird for me too that this - and its sequel Peggle Nights - should be in this list, but man... I was hooked on them. Dangerously so in the case of Peggle Nights, which milked me dry with its micro transactions.

Why it's particularly frustrating that I played so much Peggle is that there's a huge random element to its bagatelle-style gameplay. I knew I wasn't necessarily being rewarded for my silky skills, and yet somehow... somehow... I couldn't stop.

​I hate myself for playing so much of it, but it'd be disingenuous of me not to include it in this list. Nonetheless, I can't help but feel it's a bit like including "heroin" on a list of "Best ever snacks".
GEOMETRY WARS: RETRO EVOLVED
Picture
Geometry Wars appealed to the part of me which loved vector games, but brought them right up to date with an astonishingly addictive twin-stick shooter that was maddeningly chaotic and tough, but just fair enough to keep me playing. Breaking through your own high score offered an uncommon high.

You can forget the sequel, though. That messed about with the formula too much, transposing the 2D action onto 3D environments. Why do they always think that 3D is going to make things better? You don't get that with books. JK Rowling hasn't re-released Harry Potter with 3D words that jump out of the page at you.
THE STANLEY PARABLE
Picture
A short game, with multiple endings - all of which could be seen within a couple of hours - The Stanley Parable is nevertheless like nothing else. It looks like a first-person shooter (albeit without any shooting), features a constant voice-over narration, and addresses the nature of free-will - both in real-life, and in video games. Quietly profound. To say more would give away its surprises.
STAR WARS
Picture
It's weird how - even as graphics have improved to near photo-realistic levels - no modern Star Wars game has ever impacted on me as much as the original vector arcade game. Yes, that sit-down cabinet had something to do with it, but it still holds up today as THE premiere Star Wars game. 

I still go peculiar if I think of blowing up the Death Star and Obi-Wonky Nobby whispering in my ear, telling me that "The Force will be with you... always". 
STAR WARS DARK FORCES
Picture
The promise of Star Wars "Doom clone" was enough for me to fork out for my first PC, and Dark Forces didn't disappoint. Like the arcade shooter above, Dark Forces captured the feel of Star Wars better than so many try-hard efforts since.

​By not assaulting the player with constant action, it allowed the environments to breathe. It's biggest success was being familiar enough while also broadening the Star Wars universe with new ideas, that nevertheless felt profoundly authentic.
THE LAST OF US
Picture
Mixing Naughty Dog's own Uncharted with the same eerily empty real-world atmosphere of Half-Life 2, The Last of Us was always going to be a win... but what it also achieved is something no other game has ever done before or since; it made me care about the characters.

Again, by placing most of the story and character interaction within the gameplay, it allows the player to forge a connection with the characters. Indeed, I howled when Joel fell of that balcony and got impaled on a length of rebar.

See also the Left Behind mini prequel DLC, which achieves the same in an even more focused and concise fashion. This is how games should be telling stories; enough with your cut-scenes and leaving dozens of journals around the place. Who even keeps written journals these days?

Hipsters, probably.
SUPER MARIO GALAXY 1 & 2
Picture
I feel the two Galaxy games are underrated entries in the Mario canon, yet for my money they do a better job of translating the traditional 2D Mario gameplay into three dimensions. Yes: better than Mario 64, Sunshine, or Odyssey. They're a tad mind-bending at times, but never off-puttingly so, and I'd also argue that they're better-looking games than Odyssey. 

How do you like them apples?
REVENGE OF SHINOBI
Picture
This was the game which finally convinced me that my Mega Drive had been a worthwhile purchase. It was deeply frustrating - oh, how I cursed at times - and yet, the levels (and bizarre bosses) were sufficiently compelling that I kept playing until the end. I played it again the other day, and though it wasn't quite as playable as I remembered, the visuals, sound, and action all came together to give me a funny turn.
OUTLAWS
Picture
The second Lucasarts game on this list, Outlaws remains for me one of the great lost first-person shooters. Like so many of the other games I've included here, it was the atmosphere which grabbed me; a real sense of the dusty, musty Old West. 

It was also incredibly tense at times. Outlaws is responsible for my favourite ever gaming moment; being trapped in a tunnel beneath a fort, down to my last smidge of health, almost out of ammo, while my enemies circled me, calling out my name. I've had flashbacks to it recently while playing Far Cry 5, in the best way imaginable.

Half Life 2 is just astonishing. I really can't get over its brilliance. There's a subtle, slow start to it and then once you've clamped onto the gravity gun, boy, does it get wild.

It's all subjective and that, but I'd bung Super Metroid, Breath of the Wild, Ori and the Blind Forest, and FFVII into my list. Plus, the Metroid Prime Trilogy. I also think Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U is the best Mario game evs.

I'm right, of course, but this is the internet, it's me, and anyone else who comments is an idiot and wrong.

The great thing about Crackdown's agility orbs is that they're deliberately placed so that you need to collect them in order to keep collecting them. Some are always just out of reach, so you naturally seek out the ones you CAN reach in order to level up and get the ones you couldn't reach. It's a near perfect closed system of stimulus and feedback.

Also, Crackdown's Agility Orbs is a great name for a racehorse.

Geometry Wars also makes it on my bestest games ever, but I went with the second one as it added even more addictive game modes. The third one is fine, but too difficult and ruined by need achievements to progress.

The Stanley Parable just blew me away! It was sooo different compared to everything else I'd played. Funny, clever and emotional - it gave a far better example of free will and choice than Bioshock (not that I didn't love Bioshock too)!

I don’t think anything in any game has made me laugh as hard as The Narrator’s dialogue in The Stanley Parable’s “zending” did. Portal is a great game for writing about the interplay of a player and an emotional unstable voice, but in that moment The Stanley Parable totally eclipsed it.

It's one of my favourite games that I've never even played. I've watched a couple of other people playing it and I've really enjoyed it. I especially like when it's someone showing it to someone else for the first time, especially if they're not that into games.

I love lists.

Now follows my list of best games ever -

The Legend of Zelda
It just kind of took over my every thought and like all first loves, you never really get over it.

Link's Awakening
When you get right down to it, this game is Zelda and indeed Nintendo at it's best.

Link Between Worlds
The perfect modern Zelda game.

Super Mario Land
An oddball 1st outing on the GB but GOSH what a magnificent plucky little fucker of a game it is.

Super Mario World - Mario games never got better than this and probably never will.

Angry Birds - the perfect mobile phone game? It really was.

Worms - multiplayer perfection.

Goldeneye - and this one.

Project Gotham Racing Series - never has a racing series nailed the line between realism and arcade fun as well as this series did. I literally fucking despise Microsoft for fucking it all up.
Because of these games I reckon I spent longer playing on an Xbox 360 than any other console.

Ridge Racer 6 - arcade racing perfection.

Carcassonne - 14,000 games and counting - this is like crack for my idling mind.

Uncharted 4 - reignited my faith in modern gaming and also rekindled my love of pirates which in turn inspired me to watch Black Sails which is absofuckingfrootly sublime.

I could go on and name loads of games I love but you've got to draw a line, please.

Black

Easily my favourite 1player FPS - makes you feel powerful and yet still under a considerable amount of stress - like how God must feel when he/she has to weigh some oats on some old scales for a nice flapjack for a person particular about their flapjacks.

Yes! Black is one of my favourite games ever. I played it again a few weeks ago when it showed up out of the blue in my games list on Xbox. It’s an original Xbox game that is, for my money, better than anything (except the Assassins Creed pirate game, whatever number it is) on the Xbox One.

I'm really happy to see Peggle on one of these stupid lists.

You're completely right that it's hugely random but it gives you just enough agency that when you pull off a shot that gives you an extra ball AND drops in the bucket you feel like a genius because OF COURSE you meant it.

I was inordinately proud when I 100%'d every level of the original.

Similar to you drawing a peen on a roll of acetate in school, Bigfoot, I used to walk around the office, and open up the printer trays and take out half a ream of paper and draw a dick on the randomly exposed top page still left in the printer. I’d then replace the half a ream and walk off. Result was somebody would get spunking cock “watermark” on a report or email they printed. This wasn’t when I was a kid, either - I was i my late 30s and should’ve known better.

One time I was speaking with a bunch of people about games we were hopelessly addicted to, and one guy said Peggle. We all took it as a joke and cursory chuckles were had - but then, he linked his Steam account, and we looked upon his works and despaired: over 12,000 hours in Peggle, and over 10,000 hours in Peggle Nights.

I downloaded them to see what the big deal was. They were boring and nothing even happens in them, it's just pinging a marble about, but not as pretty or dynamic as pinball. I now suspect he was clinically depressed.

Blah blah subjective blah blah

ANYWAY

Of your list, and of those on it I've played, I think I'd only include Half Life 2 which was a properly revolutionary title although didn't quite get rid of all the bad aspects of video game "storytelling" (you have to stick around sometimes whilst characters jabber on, which isn't that far from the bad old days of cutscenes). Along with that, to my own list I'd add:

System Shock 2 - not just a great FPS/arcade-adventure set in a hugely atmospheric and still-scary environment, it also has my favourite approach to narrative in games - bits and pieces discovered here and there by the player allowing a story to slowly come together. So much better than some dick's sub-B-Movie as a series of forgettable cutscenes

Head over Heels - because it still looks and sounds beautiful, the puzzles are still great, it's still a fucking miracle they fitted it all into 48K, and I've hardly ever seen the "flip between two different characters" schtick pulled off since.

Streets of Rage 2 - It's a toss-up between this and the mighty Final Fight but I think the MD game just about pips it thanks to the more varied and imaginative environments.

Civilization 2 - People can argue forever which in the long-running series is the "best" but this improved drastically on the already-great original, still plays well, and even allowed the player to include their own units and rules (Airships ftw!)

TES: Morrowind - being slightly rose-tinted-specs here, because Skyrim is arguably the better *game* but Morrowind just brought so, so much to the RPG genre when it came out, especially the whole "sandbox" approach and the amazing, fascinating worldbuilding which lifted the ES series out of the "hack sub-Tolkien" dooket it had sat in until then.

Sensible World of Soccer - I don't think arcade-style football has ever been done better and I'm sceptical it ever will. And that's before you get to the insane level of worldwide detail Sensible included in this release.

GTA: San Andreas - the humour was still intact, although the attempts to place sympathetic protagonists in the anarchic, amoral gameworld created an ongoing dissonance. But for exploration and encouraging player experimentation, there was nothing quite like it.

Micronaut One - because it was an 8-bit game showing the kind of ambition and attention to detail in 1987 you'd expect of games running on far more powerful machines over a decade later, and Pete Cooke is an underappreciated genius.

Turrican 2 - personal thing. I absolutely loved it, it was full of character and encouraged exploration of it's surprisingly-open levels; and the music was stunning

Turrican 2 was also a favourite of mine and a game I completed without cheating.

Did you figure out that you could jump higher than usual by pressing the space bar repeatedly whilst jumping (would launch the horizontal walls of electric stuff from the character) and so you could reach impossible platforms (esp on the first level). I always wondered if extra secrets were up there but they just turned out to be empty...

Music was beautiful (Chris Hulesbeck did great wirk on every Rainbow Arts and Factor5 game he touched) and I used to play it through my stereo whilst doing my homework.

Great list APART FROM Half Life 2, which I utterly loathe and fail to understand the hype for.

I loved the first one, so I found it incredibly galling that the set-up for HL2 was basically 'Well, you know those aliens you were fighting before? Well, y'see, they weren't the *real* bad guys. The real bad guys were this entirely new and different faction that weren't even mentioned before.' That, to me, is not how you do a 'sequel'.

Also, I couldn't stand any of the NPCs. The nameless guards and scientists in HL1 had buckets of charm, but when HL2 tried to 'retcon' them into being individual, distinct characters they just lost all of that. The fun was in seeing them react to the gameplay situations around them - making them static, scripted NPCs in HL2 made them boring.

Oh, and Alyx Vance might be the character I hate most in games, ever. It's not necessarily the character that bothers me, but they way she's used - constantly fawning over every little thing the player does, saying 'oh, Gordon, you *saved* me, you're so brave!', and the like, as though Valve were trying to make a stand-in, virtual, wish-fulfilment girlfriend for the stereotypical lonely, teenage, male gamer. The fact that she acts so effusively towards the silent, impassive Gordon just makes the whole thing even creepier.

So, yes, you heard it here first. Half Life 2 is bad.

MrBiffo, if you bum Starwars and DarkForces that much you should really invest a bit more time in VR and try the X-Wing DLC game on the 1st Battlefront game.

My list:
- Wizkid on Amiga
- Turrican 2 on Amiga
- Magic Pockets on Amiga
- Wipeout 2097 on PS1 (but VR Wipout Omega now ties)
- Tomb Raider on PS1
- Resident Evil 2 on PS1 (also ties VR RE7)
- Gem-X on Amiga
- Shadow Of The Colossus (great on any platform)
- Bomberman (5 player amiga version)

Yippee! List time.

Skies of Arcadia - Partly responsible for my terrible dissertation
Ikaruga - Depth through simplicity. I'm rubbish at it
Wind Waker - Charming
Nier: Automata - Not entirely sure why even now.
Yakuza (any of them) - Nonsense. but what wonderful nonsense.
Super Mario World - This changes amongst both the 2D and 3D ones but at the moment World is the best.
Tetris - Of course.
Mario Kart 8 - The videogame definition of fun.
Tomb Raider: Underworld - One of the few games my wife loved and the zenith of digital tomb raiding.

There are more and the lists changes with my whims.

Outlaws was great. I got it on a budget rerelease years after its initial release played it to the end. I'd forgotten how the baddies mocked you in it.
The excellent Xbox 360 Arcade game Call of Juarez: Gunslinger reminded me a lot of it.
However the best Old West game is, of course, Red Dead Redemption which is also the best game of the last 10 years.
Will the sequel be a Force Awakens or a Crystal Skull? We will see...
