These games take a long time to get through, so you should probably start with the good ones first. Or... you might just be arguing with friends. That's the beauty of these things. With a series like Grand Theft Auto, every game has its ups and downs, its pros and cons, and exploring just what ticks people's boxes can be a blast.

When The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time burst onto our consoles back in 1998, few would have predicted it would be largely considered the greatest game of all time. Yet now, just over 15 years on, the game - and its hero Link - remain firmly in our hearts.
2. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I don't have much more to say about Skyrim, considering that I've written approximately 5,000 articles about it in my time here at Kotaku.I'm not sure I've ever seen a game become an EVENT in quite the way Skyrim did—for months on end, it was so much fun simply to get caught up in the thrill of it all.
While its sequel, Half-Life 2, is arguably a more impressive game in terms of the world that game creates, the original Half-Life had an undeniable impact on the first-person shooter genre. It's definitely one of GameSpot's Greatest Games of All Time.
Okay, so Minecraft was already kinda-sorta the second-bestselling game of all time if you don’t count Wii Sports, which was a pack-in, and I’m loathe to count stuff you can’t buy standalone.
Originally only available in Japan and Europe, it finally got a global release in 2005 as part of the Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence special edition and later as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
Marston can hunt animals, for example, and Red Dead radically overhauled GTA 4’s clunky third-person cover shooting. With the Dead Eye command, you can slow down time and line up shots, which Marston will then reel off in quick succession.
The God of War series is the best thing to happen to Greek Mythology since Jason and the Argonauts, each instalment reviving the legends with stunning visuals, epic storylines, and some of the greatest boss battles ever conceived.
Following Resident Evil 4 was never going to be easy, and we would argue that Resident Evil 5 waited too long to capitalise on the goodwill generated by its beloved predecessor. On the one hand, waiting to launch on the PS3 and Xbox 360 meant that the series had never looked better, but on the flip side, following superior third-person games like Gears of War made some elements feel a little dated.
Not far behind were the 40% who chose Bioshock Infinite as their favorite, while only 12% thought Bioshock 2 was the best in the series. Many of the reasons cited by those who voted for the original Bioshock involve story, setting, gameplay, horror, and above all, the atmosphere.
Were you thinking that "Super Mario 64" is the best Super Mario game? YOU THOUGHT WRONG!
According to my survey, Mass Effect 2 is the best by far. It received 56% of the vote, while Mass Effect 3 received 22.9%, and the original Mass Effect received 21.1%. Those who favored the original Mass Effect cited the story and the sense of adventure.
PC gaming is still the industry gold standard, and these titles sit atop the pyramid as the best of the best PC games.
The Greatest Games of All Time: Doom It wouldn't be fair to say Doom was the first first-person shooter, but it can be said that it's inarguably the most important. Without this seminal game from id Software, the shooter genre--heck, all of gaming--simply wouldn't be what it is today.
The Tetris TGM DS homebrew is perfect to all 3 versions of ARS gameplay, contains a bunch of ridiculous features and customization, and has surprisingly commercial-like polish to it. It's my personal favorite and if it wasn't shut down and multiplayer was added it'd the best Tetris game unquestionably.
Representing multiple generations of gamers, TIME’s tech team put more than 150 nominees through a multistage ranking process to compile a cross-section of gaming’s best ideas across nearly four decades. Here are our picks for the 50 greatest video games of all time.
As I said in my entry for Dark Souls in our 2015 top 100 games of all time feature, From Software’s creation represents everything that is important to video games in the modern era, from polished, core gameplay mechanics, to player agency, to narrative involvement, to world design, to the many, many emotional peaks and troughs of an expertly paced, but organically delivered journey.
These games take a long time to get through, so you should probably start with the good ones first. Or... you might just be arguing with friends. That's the beauty of these things. With a series like Grand Theft Auto, every game has its ups and downs, its pros and cons, and exploring just what ticks people's boxes can be a blast.
GoldenEye 007 is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. In 2007, GamePro, placing it ninth in "The 52 Most Important Video Games of All Time", called it the console killer-app of the 1990s and the best game ever licensed from a film.
7. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Platform: Nintendo 3DS Release Date: 2011 . Ocarina of Time is one of the most historically important games of all time.

Batman fans will be left breathless by the time the credits roll, in one of the most jaw-dropping and shocking finales in video game history. Simply put, Arkham City has it all: great gameplay, story, graphics, music, voice acting, and more.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a 2015 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. Based on The Witcher series of fantasy novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, it is the sequel to the 2011 game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
This game could have been a fine adventure movie as well. The entire game is just a thrill ride from start to finish, with things happening around every corner. Uncharted gameplay is not exactly my type of gameplay and that did affect my enjoyment of Uncharted 1 (which I did enjoy most of the time, but not greatly), but not this one.

Experiencing vault life first-hand in the introduction is one of the best openings in a game, ever. The Capital Wasteland is a great setting, especially for a game all about America. And the experience of actually walking through Fallout 3 in its full, open-world glory, is a joy.
Call of duty 4 is by far the best call of duty of all time. It was one of my first call of duties and I absolutely loved it. The campaign is full of suspense unlike mw2. For a game that came out in 2007 it is truly AMAZING there is not much difference in graphics between the new one and this one so I think that infinity ward did a outstanding job.
2. Grand Theft Auto IV. Drab as it may be, Rockstar's most recent entry in the series built a world so rich they could put three stories in it and still make parts of the map feel brand new.
3. Grand Theft Auto III. The most revolutionary entry in the series, as it's the one that brought the franchise into the 3D world, I don't think GTAIII gets enough credit for the strength of its map.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR released on PSVR November 17th, 2017 for $59.99. You can also look for it in a bundle with the newly updated PSVR model. For more coverage read our interview with the game’s Lead Producer and our interview with Bethesda’s VP of Marketing.
The character back stories are good as well. The multiplayer and the single player are balanced and amazing. It is the one of the best in the series. I think it is the best game to have ever been made. Best game of all time, best of all the Halo games, and the revolutionary game needed for the console gaming craze.
And now, it's time to rank the big daddy of single-player RPGs: the Elder Scrolls series. Let's Rank The Halo Games, Best to Worst Let's say you're new to a series.
The Greatest Games of All Time: Chrono Trigger We induct SquareSoft's classic RPG Chrono Trigger into the Greatest Games of All Time.
"Super Mario World" is still, to this day, the very best "Super Mario" game ever made. That statement includes all the 3D games, the spin-off series, and whatever other game you want to dig up with the famous mustachioed plumber. "Super Mario World" is the series' first open-world game (of sorts), and it is absolutely gigantic.
3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Platform: SNES Release Date: 1991 . Like other 16-bit Nintendo classics like Super Mario World and Super Metroid, Link to the Past expanded brilliantly on its NES predecessor and defined how all future 2D entries in the series will be measured.
"Super Mario World" is still, to this day, the very best "Super Mario" game ever made.

"Super Mario 3D World," simply put, is the best Mario game that's been made in the last five years (before "Odyssey," that is). It's gorgeous, fresh, and perfectly designed. Like the best "Super Mario" games of the modern era, it seamlessly blends nostalgia-laced gameplay with fresh twists.
Final Fantasy VII will live on for years to come, not only because Square Enix recognizes how beloved it is (and continues to update the franchise), but also because the game stands the test of time. The amazing collaboration of Square's finest developers, makes this legendary game, without a doubt, one of the greatest games of all time.
Prime combines great gameplay, beautiful environments overflowing with style and personality, a plethora of items and upgrades to collect, a perfect difficulty level, interesting enemies, stunning boss fights and epic music to form not only the greatest Metroid game of all time but one of the greatest video games ever made.

Though only a little over a year old, Blizzard’s Overwatch has quickly established itself as not only one of the greatest first-person shooters of all-time, but as a legitimate sporting movement by spawning the Overwatch League, a first of its kind professional eSports league that will support permanent Overwatch teams in cities like Seoul, Shanghai, New York, and San Francisco.
1. Vice City. It may not be the perfect Grand Theft Auto game, but it's the perfect Grand Theft Auto experience. Sure, on a superficial level it's the car chases and gunplay that make a GTA game fun, but it's the strength of the world that helps set these games apart from each other. And no world was better realised than Rockstar's take on 1986 Miami.
Valve’s been toying with the emotions of Half-Life 2 fans for some time, and, perhaps as a makegood, the company signals a return of its cult-favorite Quake mod in Team Fortress 2. Better yet, the game will come as a pack-in to the indomitable Orange Box, which also includes Half-Life 2, its two expansions, and the juggernaut-in-waiting, Portal.
Monster Hunter World Top 5 Best Monster Hunter Games of All Time. Monster Hunter World is the latest entry in the series and is by far the most accessible game in the franchise.
