Ocarina of Time reclaims number one game ranking

Nah Zelda on th e64 was a classic!!
Just out of interest where was FFVII ranked?? that was my fav game ever!!

Get clarifying Jim, you don't want to piss off salivating fanboys who haven't eaten in 3 days to make room for turkey. They're a frothy bunch, and by 'frothy' I mean 'starved, rabid and insane'

Well, this is just fucking retarded.

OMG who gave SMG a less than perfect review to lower it's score?

Interesting. The fight continues.

Rainbow, I think Galaxy is a WAY better game than Ocarina.

If I were a reviewer, I'd give Galaxy a 9.8, and Ocarina a 7.5. In short, Ocarine is extremely boring to play at times due to the bland graphics, minutes upon minutes of footwork with little sense of purpose and even less to entert But most of all, OoT really tries to be nothing more that A Link to the Past in 3D, adding little to nothing to the Zelda formula. And no, becoming a "Grown Up", and losing half your weapons doesn't add to the Zelda formula. If anything, it detracts from the game.

I feel like OoT was a rough draft of Zelda in 3D, Majora's Mask was an experiment (and an awesome one at that. A far superior experience to OoT), Wind Waker was a half finished attempt to fix OoT, and Twilight Princess actually did the job right.

I loved TP, but barely liked OoT.

*Flame sheilds on*.

woah galazy has more reviews then zelda that probably effects something rite

I don't think its a matter of specifically giving the game a bad score to bring it down. If anyone recalls last year at this time Twilight Princess was number 2. Now its way down on the list at number 33. Its more a matter of the best reviews hitting the site first. This may be due to biased reviewers influenced by the company who want the game reviewed prior to release to build the hype, or by the Fanboys who hardly play the game before voting or reviewing it as 10/10. Either way, give it time. I wouldn't ber surprised if Galaxy dropped even more.

Also note that this list does not accurately measure the "best game of all time" It is more a measure of "the best game since the N64/PSX era. The list defaults at a minimum of 20 reviews required. There is not a single SNES or Genesis or Gameboy or NES game with that many reviews. Not that changing this minimum number to 5 adds 4 new games to the top 10: Super Mario World (SNES), Super Metroid (SNES), Starcraft: Brood War (PC) and Metal Gear Solid (GBC).

It's important to keep in mind that though I really like having access to a list like this, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Oh snap!

I don't think I've ever seen a list like this that I agree with, although I do enjoy seeing WoW at #99.

It's not the greatest game though..

Maybe if they re-made it.

...

They did remake it. It's called Twilight Princess.

Agreed DaTgUy!

That wired controller is the best purchase I've made in a long time! I only wish I had a second one instead of those crappy wireless controllers that I got withmy 360.

Wasn't it easier to get better scores years ago?

At the time when Ocarina came out, scores tended to not be out of 5 as often, and there were more places doing /10 with halves, or even /100 scores. Before, a near perfect game would get 95/100, now it just gets 9/10

@tron knotts... really? Twilight Princess? There was nothing ground-breaking about that game. Ocarina might not seem special today but for its time it could be compared to nothing. Furthermore, we were all younger when it came out which makes it inherently better, because the world is just a bit more magical when you're young. That's exactly why super mario bros 3 was the greatest game in the world when it came out, AND NOW, and if it came out now and not then it would be garbage. TP is mediocre for its time and will eventually be forgotten.

ps3 is teh suck! er or something. yaay.

NOOOOO000!!! HOW WILL I SLEEP AT NIGHT?!?!
