Wow. Tough question. I think I'd have to say half-life

Though I've seen a couple of Half-Life and Ocarina of Time choices, I expected to see more. Whenever I see people get asked this question, it always seems like it is one of those two. But it could be that most people asked are console players as most people who play videogames are console players (I think). I know Half-Life is a PC game, but it is one of the few PC oriented game that is not an MMO that is well known among console players.

I'll take both. I think we can meet in the middle: rather than an updated remake, they do both a remake and expansion. Go back to Hyrule, re-do Ocarina of Time but just add to it. Not necessarily more bosses and such, but more world to explore, side-quests, etc. Keep the story and add more substance. But this can be said about every old game.

I think the point is to define best for yourself. It is, after all, what WE think the best game is. Personally, I can't stand some of the games others have suggested. Someone has sworn by Bioshock and I started playing and quit because I just couldn't deal with it. I started playing HL2 trying to see what the fuss was about and never finished it because it was so generic and boring (though I got to it years after the fact, long after many modern games had taken cues from it). To each his own, though.

I would call Galaga nostalgic, but not necessarily the best of all time.

I'd have to say Call Of Duty: Black Ops. Its the first real FPS I've played and also the first real game I've played on my gaming pc.

I think it has to be minecraft for me. It has no story and no real goal but its a game you can play for hours on end. It Went against all the normal rules and did its own thing. It is so incredibly simple yet its impossible to put down after you have played it.

Gotta go with Zelda. But my favorite zelda game has to be wind waker. I know the use of cel shading was controversial, but I loved it.

I hope that someday they decide to do a remake
