I can say I liked Half Life 2 better than Doom3 and COD2 for example, but I couldn't say how HL2 compares to Knights of the Old Republic, because it's not a really valid comparison. I definitely enjoyed KOTR more than NWN2 but it's only because of the fairly large differences that I can even do that. Do I prefer KOTR to Fallout or to Planescape: Torment? I'm not sure, even within that genre each did it's own thing and I liked different aspects of all of them individually. There's no way I could order most top 'n' games within a genre validly, never mind comparing them to Mario or Zelda or whatever else.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's because I just don't buy the absolute superiority of Occarina of Time :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15213874.post-3499526787901215942007-07-08T11:28:00.000+01:002007-07-08T11:28:00.000+01:00I agree that "best" is very subjective -but still ...I agree that "best" is very subjective -but still a list like thgis is always interesting to see, even if to compare how games I like compare.<BR/><BR/>You must have some games which you prefer above others?

Plus it just doesn't work across genres - is HL2 better than Super Mario 64 or Tetris better than Zelda? It's like asking if yellow is better than purple. <BR/><BR/>Doing a '100 great games' list is ok but to actually order them is pretty pointless I think. There's no way I would say that any one game is better than all others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
