Edge has just published The Top 100 Games of all time and the winner is..The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

 

Well, here's a topic bound to have a few avid gamers throwing mice and keyboards at each other. Gaming magazine Edge has just published The Top 100 Games of all time and the winner is..The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The 10-year old game for the 'Nintendo 64 platform scooped the prize for a number of reasons, including one that said it helped bring about a new era of 3-D gaming. It is one of only five games that Edge ever gave a 10/10 score to. The issue was decided by thousands of votes from readers, expert opinion from the game industry and Edge's editorial team.

 

The Top 10 are as follows and yes, some of you will be shocked, and possibly dismayed:

 

1) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)

2) Resident Evil 4 (GameCube, PlayStation 2)

3) Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

4) Half-Life 2 (PC)

5) Super Mario World (Super Nintendo)

6) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Super Nintendo)

7) Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox)

8 ) Final Fantasy XII (PlayStation 2)

9) Tetris (Various)

10) Super Metroid (Super Nintendo)

 

I guess I'm surprised that there's only one PC game in the Top 10. No Warcrafts, Command & Conquers, Dooms

 

Tony Mott, Editor-in-chief, said: "Ocarina of Time is nearly 10 years old, but its position at the top slot in Edge's 100 Best Video games shows that great game design does not age. In visual terms, it obviously cannot compete with today's Xbox 360 and PS3 productions, but, as with many classics, its appeal is about so much more than its appearance."
