Game Informer editor picks ten greatest games of all time

Okay, there's enough 'best game ever' charts on the internet to bore even the most committed Hornby-esque list compilers. But they're always fun to argue with so here's the latest top ten, this time from Game Informer editor, Andy McNamara.

The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros take the first two slots with Tetris, GTA III and Doom following. McNamara is clearly one for originals - many would put Ocarina of Time above its 1986 predecessor; many others would go for Quake over Doom. GTA III was effectively a fresh start for the franchise, but GTA III Vice City was arguably a superior title. No arguments with Tetris though.

In the bottom half of the list are Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy III (a 'hardcore'/elitist choice, there - VII and X are the usual choices), Halo, Ms Pacman and World of Warcraft.

I guess Paradroid must be at number 11, then.
