Excuse me, I need to go play the number 1 game on Gamerankings.

Enjoy.

Hahahahahaha. Phoenix is so proven wrong now.

I actually don't mind being proven wrong on this. My point has always been that the low # of critiques for OOT and SC has skewed the law of averages in their favor. We'll just have to wait and see if SMG holds up when it gets more critiques in the weeks to come...

I just find it funny how a week or so later SMG becomes #1 game ever. Smiley

I don't know that it deserves it. We should wait like 10 years before we declare such things as that.

What? OoT and SC deserve to be there... many people enjoy the obviously.

Also, saying best game every isn't really correct, it's just most people say it and actually mean best game made so far, which there will always be controversy over.

Sorry about the post before, that was extremely dumb of me. I'm not on gamefaqs  Wink

Haha, a bit on the harsh side perhaps...

It's always funny when you read reviews, where for an example this occurs:

"This is one of the worst game i've ever played!!" - 6/10

You guys fret over statistics too much. #1 Highest Ranked Game does not necessarily equate to best game ever. There is no objective way to quantify subjective opinion. Stats are... stats. There is uncertainty involved. Let me know what the standard deviation is for this game, in fact, perhaps I'll do a quick analysis later showing the confidence in the number 1 versus number 2.

Using gameranking's top ranked list to determine the best game ever is like pretending to be the group who made the most dangerous cities list from crime statistics. Reading into stats too far is dangerous. Be careful.

Personally Super Metroid will always be my favorite until I see otherwise, and Skies of Arcadia Legends will be my second favorite

Skies is really a cult game. The over world map is the best I have seen in any RPG and the exploration aspect of the game is top notch, as well as the bounty hunting and various amounts of things to keep you sidetracked. Put in an insane villain who would kill his own sister without shedding a tear and an unbelievable cast of characters you got yourself a fantastic game even if the actual battle system is boring (albeit very strategic).

Mario Galaxy is no longer the best game of all-time...
