The 100 Greatest Video Games of All Time
One hundred video games that defined the medium, from Pong to modern masterpieces. This list spans every era and platform — arcade cabinets, home consoles, PC, and handhelds all represented. The top spots feature games that didn't just entertain but changed how developers think about game design.
Ocarina of Time, Half-Life 2, and Super Mario Bros. represent different eras of "best game ever" consensus. Modern entries like Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 compete against nostalgia-powered classics. The community votes based on lasting impact — not just how fun a game was at launch, but whether it still holds up today.
