The greatest game ever?

Mario, of Super Mario BrosOh, puleeze! You’ve got to be joking. This is the greatest video game of all time?

The market research firm OnePoll seems to think so. It polled about 2,000 gamers, chiefly in Britain, to come up with the choice.

As for other titles, they polled this way:

2. Pac-Man
3. Tetris
4. The Sims
5. Sonic the Hedgehog
6. Space Invaders
7. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
8. Donkey Kong
9. Mario Kart 64
10. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
11. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
12. Wii Sports
13. Final Fantasy
14. Gran Turismo
15. Lemmings
16. Frogger
17. Pokemon Red, Blue and Green
18. Street Fighter II
19. Wii Play
20. Guitar Hero

Interesting, though, that the list doesn’t include “Halo 3,” which several irate e-mail writers assured Game Guy was the greatest thing since air conditioning. Or “Grand Theft Auto IV,” considered by GG’s critics as better than every other GTA before it. (For the record, GG didn’t think so.)

Well, just read the Telegraph article to learn why. In the meantime, give us your vote for the 10 best games ever made.

WiiPlay is a bizarre choice. I’m not sure that would even be in the top 1,000 games. But, I have to say that if the guy running this blog seriously thinks it is a joke for Super Mario Bros. to be considered the best game ever, then his credibility should be questioned.
