Bitto and I Decided to Make a List of the Top Ten Video Games of All Time. We Bitto and I decided to make a list of the top ten video games of all time. We quickly realized that this was a huge undertaking and would therefore require a good deal of thought. In order to get the top ten games, we made a large list of games that could theoretically make the list (roughly 70 games) and then eliminated games one by one until we were left with ten. Near the end of this list we had to have discussions about each elimination because it got increasingly difficult as we neared our top ten. The last couple games are included as honorable mentions. Once we had our top ten, Bitto and I decided we should do this right and make ten categories that signify a good game and then rank each of our games 1 through 10 for each category where only one game can be assigned each number, ten being the highest. Once we had all of our numbers we would average them to determine the order of our games based on our ten categories. Let me explain what we considered for each category: Story: How good is the story? Is it well thought out? Interesting? Predictable? Hero(es): How cool or interesting is/are the hero(es) for each game? Villain(s): How cool or interesting is/are the villain(s) for each game? Design: How well-designed is the game? How well does everything fit with everything else? Are there conflictions among items? Are things repetitive? Is it balanced? Depth: How deep is the game? How much does it offer? Music: How good/iconic is the music for the game? Difficulty: How hard is the game? Replayability: How often can you replay the game? How good is the multiplayer (if applicable)? Following: How popular is the game and how many people play it? Overall: This is essentially our individual rankings of the games The results follow: Honorable Mentions: Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Halo: Combat Evolved, God of War, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 10. Goldeneye: Story: 4, Hero: 7, Villains: 3, Design: 1, Depth: 2, Music: 1, Difficulty: 4, Replayability: 7, Following: 3, Overall: 3 Best known for the multiplayer, hence the high replayability score. Who doesn’t remember playing this with some friends for hours on end? Before COD, Halo, Gears of War, or Perfect Dark there was Goldeneye. Not much to the game, hence the low depth and design scores but overall I ranked this as number 8 of our top ten. It’s a fun game but there’s not much to it. 9. Pokémon Red/Blue: Story: 3, Hero: 1, Villains: 1, Design: 2, Depth: 6, Music: 5, Difficulty: 1, Replayability: 6, Following: 8, Overall: 1 This game started the entire Pokémon craze and, let’s face it, it was pretty sweet when it first came out. Definitely the easiest of the games on the list but it does offer some decent music and replayability. There were 151 Pokémon to choose from so you could go back and play it through again with a whole new set of 6 (of course, some of those 151 were just terrible hence the low design score). Overall, my least favorite of our top ten, it is addictive and well made but it’s on the correct end of this list. 8. Bioshock: Story: 9, Hero: 2, Villains: 4, Design: 5, Depth: 3, Music: 4, Difficulty: 8, Replayability: 1, Following: 1, Overall: 2 I know a lot of people will scorn this entry on our list but I challenge you to consider it (or play it if you haven’t). The story for this game is really creepy and well done and the twist at the end is fairly mind-blowing. Not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination, especially when you had to kill the big daddies (this was a particularly terrifying experience) but what makes this game so fantastic the first time through is what kills the replayability factor. Number 9 for me but our numbers say this is number 8. 7. Super Smash Bros. Melee: Story: 1, Hero: 3, Villains: 2, Design: 7, Depth: 1, Music: 10, Difficulty: 1, Replayability: 8, Following: 4, Overall: 4 I am aware that some people think that the original Smash game is the best but plain and simple, they are wrong. There’s no denying it is an amazing game and I played a hell of a lot of it as a kid but what the developers did right in the first game was only amplified in the second. Balance, design, playable characters and levels, pretty much everything about Melee is better than the original. It is faster paced, requires more skill, and is by far the more balanced game. In terms of our top ten, it fits right where I expected at number 7. This game has the best music (a compilation of years of music genius from Nintendo) and great replayability and design. It does lack difficulty (I suppose this depends on your opponents), depth, and story compared to the others but this is probably the game I have spent the most time playing during the course of my life and that says a lot. 6. Super Mario 64: Story: 2, Hero: 6, Villains: 6, Design: 8, Depth: 4, Music: 8, Difficulty: 2, Replayability: 3, Following: 5, Overall: 7 Great music, classic hero and villain, phenomenal level design and variety, a fantastic continuation of the stream of great Mario games that came before and come after. This game was really good. Remember jumping off walls to get stars? Remember the music for the Bowser levels? Remember learning through the grapevine that getting 120 stars would allow you to find Yoshi? Overall, I really like this game a lot and although I had it slightly higher, it fits into our list nicely. 5. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Story: 7, Hero: 5, Villains: 5, Design: 4, Depth: 7, Music: 6, Difficulty: 5, Replayability: 5, Following: 2, Overall: 5 One of the few really good Star Wars games, KOTOR had a lot to offer. Choices that affect the world around you, other characters, and yourself, the option to beat the game nonlinearly (go to Dantooine before Korriban or go to Korriban before Dantooine, it’s up to you), the option to romance, the ability to use a double-sided lightsaber and forces powers, and one of the better in-game twists ever. This game helped pave the way for choice-dependent games and raised the bar quite high. It has some flaws but overall this was a great game and fits right where I expected it to. 4. World of Warcraft: Story: 5, Hero: 4, Villains: 7, Design: 3, Depth: 10, Music: 3, Difficulty: 9, Replayability: 10, Following: 10, Overall: 6 This game has gotten a bad rap from the public but chances are, if you played this game, you were addicted to it. It offers an unparalleled amount of things to do, is the most played video game of all time, has some pretty awesome villains and has some battles that are incredibly cool and difficult to pull off (especially considering how bad some people were). Some flaws are the repetitiveness, lack of enough story, amount of waiting time (traveling, waiting for groups, traveling, finding objectives, traveling, waiting for battlegrounds, and traveling), but the biggest flaw comes how the expansions work with each other. With the first expansion, items from the original game quickly became obsolete and pointless, and with each subsequent expansion, the previous game content becomes essentially worthless. This is especially true now in that there is almost no point to questing because all anyone ever does is dungeons. Obviously a great game, but there are three that are better. 3. Final Fantasy VII: Story: 10, Hero: 9, Villains: 8, Design: 6, Depth: 9, Music: 7, Difficulty: 6, Replayability: 2, Following: 6, Overall: 9 The longest game ever at the time of its release, FF7 had an incredibly in-depth story, fantastic music, a great magic system, and some of the coolest heroes and villains to ever grace a video game. The cutscenes were beautiful, the materia animations were awesome, the music is some of the best in any video game ever, and an immense depth especially considering the lack of multiplayer capability. The casual gamer may shy away from FF7 but it truly is a masterpiece. This game had the exact same score as number 2 on our list but our tiebreaker, Paul Smith, helped place our 2 and 3 slots. 2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Story: 6, Hero: 8, Villains: 9, Design: 10, Depth: 5, Music: 9, Difficulty: 7, Replayability: 4, Following: 7, Overall: 10 To be honest, I expected this game to top our list (it does top mine). Considered by many to be the best game ever made, Ocarina of Time offers more than the typical bad guy steals the princess, good guy saves her story. It also is flawlessly designed in that every dungeon is well-thought out, every item is useful and necessary. The bosses are funny, scary, and cool and Link retains his ‘don’t fuck with me’ attitude throughout. Remember how difficult the Water Temple was (is)? Remember getting the Biggoron sword? Remember beating Ganondorf and then being scared shitless as he transforms into the massive beast Ganon? Simply put, this game is almost perfect (just get rid of that damn owl and Navi). For a bonus, play Ocarina of Time: Master Quest.

  • By Joseph Mckay Thesis Advisor Adrienne Jones
    The Evolution of First Person Shooters An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Joseph McKay Thesis Advisor Adrienne Jones I Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2003 December 21, 2003 Abstract: Video games have become an integral part of popular culture over the past decade. Gaming is surpassing TV and film as a favorite pastime. Last year the gaming industry made 9.4 billion dollars in revenue. Despite the enormous draw of video games, they aren't given the prestige and academic attention that film receives. This thesis covers the evolution of the First Person Shooter from game genre conception to its present state in order to demonstrate the validity of studying the video game medium. Since its beginning in 1992, the First Person Shooter has had a tremendous impact on game development. The genre has consistently been at the forefront of cutting edge technology and continues to revolutionize the way games are played and viewed. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank my advisor, Adrienne Jones for her constant support and advising throughout the duration of this thesis. Without her help I would have never been able to put my passion into writing. I would also like to thank my friends Evan, Amanda, Stephanie, David and, Jefffor sticking by, dealing with my gaming rants, and imparting their knowledge.
