Best Video Games of all Time...?

Minecraft changed the way games operate, and it still stands as one of the most played games of all time. It’s remarkably easy to lose yourself for hours working with your friends, or by yourself, to build anything and everything you can think of.

Tetris

A popular choice in gaming since 1984, Tetris remains a pop culture icon. Seriously, name one person who's never tried their hand at it, and then gotten totally sucked in.

World of Warcraft, first released in 2004, is less of a video game and more of a lifestyle. Friends in high school who played WOW had an entire culture of their own; they existed in this separate world, interacting with each other and with people from all over the globe, night after night.

Wii Sports

Everyone played and enjoyed Wii Sports. Even those hardest of hardcore gamers cracked a smile. While it may not be a complex game, it always had the unique ability to bring gamers and non-gamers together. Few games ever achieved the same level of accessibility and renowned household recognition like it.

Super Mario World

Choosing between Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 is a close call, but the former just edges out the latter. Super Mario World set an important tone and structure for the future of everyone's favorite plumber.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Ocarina of Time was, for many, the turning point in video games. It marked that key moment when the medium cemented itself as a formidable place for artistic expression. Undeniably the first truly remarkable 3D experience in gaming, Ocarina of Time has inspired countless titles with its moody tone, nostalgic storyline, and incredible soundtrack.
