Best Game Ever: The Top 10

Best game ever? Best game of all time? Here’s our rundown of the top 10…

10. Metal Gear Solid (PS1, PC)

Innovation was the name of the game. Series creator Hideo Kojima used every tool at his disposal to put players into the experience, and indeed to bring the experience right out of our TV screens and into our living rooms. Psychic vibrating controllers are deserved of particular mention. But, Mr Kojima, we draw the line at your story, which was largely nonsense. Nevertheless, Metal Gear Solid remains one of the most engaging and innovative titles in videogame history.

9. Day Of The Tentacle (PC)

 

Games aren’t funny. That idiom has resonated through games journalism for the last decade and a half. But there are exceptions to every rule, and along with the fantastic Monkey Island series, Day Of The Tentacle still represents easily the funniest game of all time. It came at a time when writers Tim Schafer, Ron Gilbert, Dave Grossman and Gary Winnock had reached their zenith. Amazingly, it’s still hilarious today.

8. Tetris (Multi)

 



Some of the best games of all time are also the most enduring. Tetris is definitely an example of this. It’s appeared in every form and format, from keyrings versions tall the way up to complex 3D versions ustilising the Z-axis. Simple. Timeless. Brilliant. Don’t believe us? Play it right here, right now. (above).

7. Portal 2 (Multi)

The first of our Valve titles on the list, here’s the second, more modern, example of games that tickle our funny bones. Intuitive, delightful, mind-bending, elegant. Portal 2 is a masterpiece of game design.

6. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Multi)

Okay, so this is what we call a new entry. You know, when you were young and Top Of The Pops counted down the top ten and you thought you had it all sussed, but then Bam! Rick Astley cuts in at number three between Sonia and Bananarama, and you’re like WTF?! That’s what Skyrim has done to us; surprised us in ways in which we thought ourselves unsurprisable.

5. GTA IV (Multi)

 

Say what you like about GTA. Go on, say what you like. Finished? Good. GTA IV is a masterpiece. There are those who complain that it’s too structured and that it’s not ‘fun’ enough and this or that, but honestly, those people are probably running fetch missions for Brucey while we’re busy with eight friends racing Faggios around a skate park. An open world is what you make of it, a playground, and Liberty City is the best playground of them all.

4. Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (N64, 3DS)

No need for any justification here. This is the archetype for a cross-stitched world where the unlocking of powers steadily unlocks further parts of the world. And so it rolls, with one of the most fascinating and delightful worlds ever seen in a videogame. If you didn’t play this first time around, it’s now available for 3DS and as good as it ever was.

3. Super Mario 64 (N64, 3DS)

Did you get all the stars? Mario’s first step into the third dimension was also his best. Sure, you could say that Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2 do more, but they would be nothing without this game forming its bedrock. A true masterpiece, no less, and now available for 3DS.

2. Thief: Deadly Shadows (PC)

Deadly Shadows was a highly focused stealth game set in an open fantasy city with a single objective for each mission: to creep past the guards and rob the shiny-shinies from a nominated mansion/crypt/dungeon. It was consistently tense and atmospheric, and featured The Cradle, a trouser-soiling mission that can often be found in top ten lists of the best levels ever made.

1. Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (Multi)

 

Narrative, gameplay, feel, invention, physicality, consequence, emotion. Half-Life 2, at the time of its release, represented the pinnacle of all, tied into a beautiful bow of gaming so good, it was pretty difficult to just move on and play other games. We got over it, eventually, but in the seven years in between, there’s really been nothing that’s felt quite this whole. Its later release on consoles as part of The Orange Box, which contained Episode 1, 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal, sealed its place as the finest bits and bytes ever to be committed to a single DVD.

PSA: How to un-ugly your GBA games on 3DS

 PSA: How to un-ugly your GBA games on 3DS

Nintendo Ambassadors now have 10 free Gameboy Advance games on their 3DSes, which is wonderful. Some of these games look like they were thrown onto a freeway during rush hour in Freight-Truck Town, which is not wonderful. The 3DS' screen is 400x240 pixels, while the classic games are set at GBA standards, 240x160 pixels. When loading a GBA title normally, it will stretch out to fill the 3DS screen and look like the elastic on your 30-year-old "lucky" pair of tightie whities -- but never fear, because you can revert the game to its standard size, as provided by 1UP.

Launch a GBA title on the 3DS and hold down the select or start button until the boot screen disappears and the game begins -- the playable screen will shrink down to standard GBA size, with black bars filling in the extra space around the smaller area. Think of it as a frame for your nostalgia.

The 10 best superheroes logos

The best superheroes logos

Every superhero knows the importance of an iconic logo. Instantly recognizable, this symbol can be used as a calling card for the police to find at the scene of another solved crime, shone in the sky as a way of making contact, projected from a utility belt on unsuspecting criminals in order to strike fear, or simply to help shift boxes and boxes of merchandise if there happens to be a movie out. Whatever the usage — and there are many — that logo needs to be bold, striking and cool enough for a fan to wear on a T-shirt. But what should a crime fighter choose as his symbol? Some prefer an illustration of their powers, others an animal with which they feel a particular affinity.

When all else fails, some simply take the first letter of their name and try to come up with a colorful way of presenting it. Like certain heroes, if you get yours right, your logo might become one of the most recognized in the world. This may seem strange, as there are companies that pay thousands of dollars for graphic design agencies to come up with amazing international logos just for them; how come superheroes are able to design these iconic logos themselves? Perhaps logo design is a skill passed over in the accident that grants them their other superpowers (along with sewing to help make those costumes, of course). But if those companies should find themselves feeling jealous, perhaps they should take their cue from these 10 iconic superhero logos.

Daredevil

When Daredevil first appeared in comics, his character featured a single “D” on his chest. A couple of issues in, the artists at Marvel must have realized something, because from then on, the character wore two overlapping D’s instead.

Robin

He may be the sidekick of the great Dark Knight, but Robin has had things a bit tough. Not only did Batman initially make him dress up in bright colors while he got to lurk about in the shadows, he made him parade around without pants on and gave him an inferior logo – a yellow “R” on a black circle – while he got the cool bat emblem. It may be recognizable, but does it look good stuck on the side of a vehicle or shone in the sky? Not really.

Shazam

Make no mistake, this is not the Flash’s logo. Scrawny lightning bolt set on a red background? Think again. This is a chunky, macho thunder clap. Whenever young Billy Batson shouts the magic word “Shazam,” the thunder appears and transforms him into the legendary Captain Marvel: Earth’s mightiest mortal. To think, at one stage back in the 1940s, Captain Marvel’s adventures actually outsold Superman’s. In those days, perhaps this symbol would have figured higher than the “S” in our list.

The Punisher

There is a reason the Punisher settled on a large white skull as the chest logo on his black Kevlar body armor: He wanted to give the armed criminals he was up against something to aim at. It also sent a message about the cold face of death these wrongdoers were now forced to look upon. Marvel’s gun-toting vigilante has been around since the 1970s and is still going strong with an ever-increasing body count. Looks like the skull was a good choice.

Fantastic Four

Currently the Fantastic Four are no more in comics, since the four became three with the recent death of the Human Torch (it’s comics – he’ll be back at some stage). But when they were at their full roster, three of them wore the “4″ symbol from the second issue of their comic book. Confused? Well, in the first issue, the team wore regular civilian dress, and it’s hard to find room for a symbol on the one member of your team that parades around in just a pair of blue trunks.

Green Lantern

There are many Green Lanterns patrolling the universe, all of them bearing this recognizable symbol. And with the movie out this summer, it is sure to be even more so. Probably the most literal of all the superhero logos, this could easily be used in a game of Dingbats – you don’t see Batman or Spider-Man with a matchstick figure next to the logo on their chests, for example.

The Flash

It’s sometimes wondered why the Flash would actually have bothered coming up with a logo. Surely he moves so fast that no one would actually be able to see it. Maybe simplicity is the key: criminals can at least catch a quick glimpse, and a simple lightning strike through a white circle is the way to go here. An “F” would probably take too long to read, and by that stage, the criminals wouldn’t know who had apprehended them.

Spider-Man

What exactly was Peter Parker’s thought process when designing his Spidey costume? “Yeah, I’ll put a spider symbol in the middle, set in a giant web pattern that covers the rest of my body…” He probably regretted that decision when he was still sewing the webbing on at 3 a.m. five days later. Still, at least the spider idea was a good one, and it has remained a constant feature every time Spider-Man has changed his costume. Surprisingly, the webbing has not been on all of them.

Batman

Back in 1989, upon the release of the Tim Burton Batman film, this logo was printed on everything from baseball caps to erasers. Batman is probably the most fashion-conscious of the superheroes when it comes to logos, sometimes having it with the yellow oval, sometimes without. But whichever he chooses, the bat symbol looks good on everything from cars to gadgets, and when shone in the sky by Commissioner Gordon, it’s a message to all criminals to be on their guard.

Superman

The shield logo on Superman’s chest has certainly evolved since its first appearance back in 1938 — then just a simple squiggle “S” inside a yellow triangle. These days it is one of the world’s most recognizable symbols. But is it really an “S”? The symbol hails from the planet Krypton and is the crest of Superman’s family home, so the fact that it looks like an Earth “S” must be a coincidence.
