polls are neat.
they tell you what a certain subsection of the population thinks. with proper sampling, you can even get a good idea about an entire neighborhood or city.
in the wrong hands, polls can be devestating. they can skew topics and their results can be taken out of context.
but regardless of how polls reports return, I think people should redefine what they are actually going report from polls.
the best video game of all-time. seriously folks, you need to have a huge population from which to sample in order to even come close to naming a game "the best of all-time" - plus, you really should even use that title, because in a year or so, another game can possibly blow that game out of the water... it whould be called "the best game until now" which is probably what they meant by best game of all time.
some games listed as the best of all-time: final fantasty vii, the legend of zelda: the ocarina of time, super mario 64, super mario brothers, super mario brothers 3, doom, the legend of zelda, the sims, the sims 2, resident evil 4, halo, halo 2, soul caliber, golden eye 007, half-life, and half-life 2...
imho - the legend of zelda series is the best. ever I think I would but resident evil and the super mario series right after. as for the best game. ever? - I have to say final fantasy vii. it was way ahead of its time, limited by technology, plus the story line and character development was and still is superb. it was rekindled by the advent children movie and the fact that it has been almost 10 years since it's release and I'm still willing to play it says a lot. it's like playing a graphic novel... sure it's not as flashy as some of the newer games, and the controls aren't all that complex, but it is a hell of a game.
call me crazy. of course, this is a guy who really doesn't like sports games, reads a ridiculous number of books, and watches too much tv. but my opinion is my opinion...
of course, the legend of zelda: twilight princess has yet to be released and it looks sweet.
yeah. I'm a dork.
what do you think the best video game ever is?

metroid has to be up there somewhere.

I admit - metroid is a great game, but it doesn't have the character development or the storyline or the replay-ability to break into my top game list... of course, I haven't played any of the newer versions, so my perspective is limited.
