- ursername180, on 11/17/2007, -35/+176Nothing will top Ocarina of Time in MY books. :)
- mretx, on 11/17/2007, -10/+114great, now i can buy this game.. the last one i bought was OoT
- rand21althor, on 11/17/2007, -10/+96Record finally broken, huh? I'm looking forward to playing SMG.
- orangespanky, on 11/17/2007, -13/+96hey Tikkimann, its not just 1 site saying it is a good game, that site happens to take scores from all major gaming sites and take an average, so it is a legend, beating OoT is astounding
- DiggityDugged, on 11/17/2007, -5/+69"Three games within a month of each other made it on the top 10 games of all time list, Super Mario Galaxy, The Orange Box, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
which should tell you that either the top ten list on that site either changes a lot, or is incredibly flawed. those are definitely 3 great games, but calling ANYTHING the best game of all time within a month of its release is foolish. It has to survive the test of time. - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -3/+65It must not be very fun having such high standards lol
- Andy5925, on 11/17/2007, -13/+75poor poor ocarina...you'll always be number 1 in my heart
- Yartch, on 11/17/2007, -8/+66I didn't even think this game would be that good! I'm definitely going out to buy it today.
- crazyhorse13, on 11/17/2007, -17/+69All you PS360 fanboys are just mad that nintendo has the top 3.
- Lixie, on 11/17/2007, -19/+70I think both games are overrated. There I said it. They're great games, but no better than other great games. Also, The Godfather was a bit too long. And Stairway to Heaven isn't the greatest song of all-time. There I said it.
- blueboxed, on 11/17/2007, -7/+56i think the average is inaccurate due to that 11/10 score...
- arcooke, on 11/17/2007, -1/+47...says one spammy nickname to the other.
- KingGoonie, on 11/17/2007, -5/+51I would think as far as first party titles go... Nintendo has the HIGHEST expectations. They BY FAR have had the best first party titles through the years... and jeez its mario... so if anything it has to be INCREDIBLE to live up to what everyone expects a true mario title should be.
- garionw, on 11/17/2007, -2/+47I just find it amusing that Nintendo have the top 3, Dream Cast has 1 and the PC has 1.
And Sony and Microsoft missed out alltogether - D3koy, on 11/17/2007, -7/+42Have you played Galaxy?
That's what I thought as well... - Gir53457, on 11/18/2007, -0/+34I'd love to have a toilet, but nobody has them in stock.
- RxDaniel, on 11/18/2007, -3/+37If by "***** box of next gen consoles" you mean it is something almost everybody has in their house, like a toilet, then yes.
- daridave, on 11/17/2007, -3/+36Man, this is going to make some epic Link vs. Mario Smash Bros battles online now... Zelda fanboys vs. Mario fanboys... lol. Triforce vs. Starpower ? :P
- ngnboone, on 11/17/2007, -3/+35They may not have the best graphics, but Nintendo usually delivers on gameplay
- ThisIsntKraig, on 11/17/2007, -1/+32That article misuses the word 'infamy'. The word refers to a dishonorable thing, which is quite the opposite of what Super Mario Galaxy has achieved.
- airwalkery2k, on 11/17/2007, -3/+30Yeah. The hype mostly missed me until the game came out. I had no expectations, but went out and bought it. Needless to say, I've been blown away.
- Lixie, on 11/17/2007, -5/+32You know there's a reply button. You should try it some time.
- chazuk, on 11/18/2007, -1/+26So you haven't played it either?
All the people enjoying it (including myself) are wrong and you are right eh? - noots, on 11/17/2007, -2/+26people live in the past. Think about the current young generation. They will hold SMG memories just like your holding onto Ocarina.
it's clearly a classic. - dxprog, on 11/17/2007, -0/+24Could be age, too. Back in the day I could play any game for hours/weeks/months on end. The older I've gotten the harder it is for me to get into a game.
- Cloudime, on 11/17/2007, -1/+25Gamerankings.com is a large site, and as the article said, OoT has been on top for nine years, a nine year record being broken is quite the event reguardless of it just being one site.
- EtherGnat, on 11/17/2007, -2/+25I think there's a good chance the rating may still fall enough to lose the top spot. It's been my observation that reviews for movies and games tend to cool over time and bring the overall score down. Regardless, it's a wonderful game on the Wii.
- doctorfungi, on 11/18/2007, -1/+23Stop jerking each other off.
- Herostratos, on 11/17/2007, -2/+21Dugg for saying it.
- greenriver572, on 11/17/2007, -2/+19soylent green is people!
- IndigoMoss, on 11/17/2007, -2/+18You're kidding right? I love OoT too, some of my fondest childhood memories come from my best friend and I beating it when we got it on Christmas Eve, but I've played Mario a lot more times that I've played Zelda. I mean I could seriously go and pickup any of the main mario games and play them right now and I'd have fun, Zelda not so much, since I've beat it so many times. Both great games, but longevity goes to Mario.
- HumanWaste, on 11/18/2007, -1/+16This is not the first time the record has been broken. Both Bioshock and Twilight Princess reached number 1 for a short amount of time right before the rest of the reviews came in and lowered the average a bit.
- taquitohater, on 11/17/2007, -1/+15I believe, they were going, for the William Shatner self, narration, deal.
- taquitohater, on 11/17/2007, -2/+16For your first statement I would like to take this oppurtunity to tell you to ***** right off and rot in hell. For the second statement, I would like to point out that Metroid Prime 3 is not the #3 spot, the original Metroid Prime is.
- peacebyanymeans, on 11/18/2007, -1/+15Clearly you have no understanding of how getting the average of something works.
- atomicpoet, on 11/17/2007, -1/+14I only bought it because of the good reviews. And it seems everyone was correct in giving it a 100.
- notahippie76, on 11/17/2007, -3/+16Whoever, wrote, the, title, for, this, piece, needs, to, read, up, on, proper, comma, usage, because, it, is, poorly, punctuated, even, if, it, was, a, choice, for, proper, emphasis. It, still makes them look like, an idiot.
- NessTheHero, on 11/17/2007, -1/+14"Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, known as the greatest game of all time and sitting on that top position for over 9 years, has been surpassed. It steps down to number 2 and hands the throne to Super Mario.
Today, Gamerankings shows Super Mario Galaxy’s average review score of 97.9%, beating Ocarina of Time’s 97.5%.
Three games within a month of each other made it on the top 10 games of all time list: Super Mario Galaxy, The Orange Box, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
Fixed. I've never seen such a poorly worded paragraph. - goosepillows, on 11/18/2007, -1/+141 new game every 11 years. i bet you can't wait for grand theft auto 7
- daizaru, on 11/17/2007, -0/+12Metacritic still has Ocarina in first place... I wonder which site houses more cumulative scores.
Anyways, even 4th on metacritic is huge... especially seeing Ocarina got 100's from gamespot. The gamespot of today would probably never give out a perfect score, same for a lot of sites that have evolved over the years. It's unanimous though, this game is a must own for anyone who's ever liked platformers. My wii finally feels like money well spent. - peacebyanymeans, on 11/18/2007, -0/+12That was a waste of text. Of course he wasn't being serious, you dumbass.
- Cyhwuhx, on 11/17/2007, -0/+12.::: It's being (physically) distributed by EA. EA is also responsible for the PlayStation 3-port of The Orange Box.
- MagikOvenMit, on 11/17/2007, -13/+25Bioshock was above OoT once too.
- HastyBoom, on 11/17/2007, -0/+12Im so into Mario Galaxy right now. I havn't been this satisfied with a new game for a looooong time.
Love Oot too. Havn't finished Galaxy yet so i can't completely compare so i should just shut up! - yasuharu, on 11/18/2007, -0/+10Yeah, and gameplay is what I care about the most. I don't have HD anyway...
- phazon88, on 11/18/2007, -1/+10They convert all the scores to a percentage and with that 11/10 score they converted it to 100% because you can't have 110%.
- cesclaveria, on 11/18/2007, -0/+9even tough I knew the commas where there just as a little sarcasm, I could not help my self to make the pauses while I was reading that...
- Herostratos, on 11/17/2007, -4/+13Reply button...
- Narcowski, on 11/17/2007, -0/+9To quote one of the developers (I don't remember who) "The speedrun videos are going to be insane"
I mean, speedruns of smb64 are still done, so I see that part of teh audience lasting a while at least. -
