But 'Best Games Ever'... surely that is a stricter criteria than you has gone for. I would have thought it would be games that are genre-defining, epochal, the type that you would give 10/10 and happily send forward to represent Earth as the pinnacle of our video game creation.

Try not to fart? Flick football? FRUIT NINJA?

Can you really, with a straight face, claim that Fruit Ninja is as good as video games get?

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14415

I forgot Blood on my list.

Blood.

Objectively a better game than Doom.

Fruit Ninja is one of the very best touchscreen games and I was hopelessly addicted to it at one point. Sometimes less is more.

Try Not to Fart is a delicious blend of toilet humour and rhythm action. Undoubtedly great.

Argh! Forgot DEFCON!

It's the only multiplayer game I've ever been supreme at, chillingly damning my continental enemies to a time-on-target death of SLBMs, MRBM's and ICBM's resulting in eerie white blossoms and dispassionate megadeath kill counts as I once again outfox them with a clinical strike.

WTB in judging a game via YouTube shocker.

I remember when you used to play games. Admittedly for five mins each, but you used to play them.

I did play it. Frankly, it can quite easily be judged from youtube.

I'll buy it later and give it a full review.

Not every good game has to be a AAA blockbuster with millions of dollars worth of advertising. They just have to capture the imagination. Anyway, it's my list, so fuck off.
