I think he meant Bioshock. Makes more sense than Metroid, especially when you look at the game bioshock and the movie Citizen Kane
i meant plot wise i dont know what the best game eaver is i think its a group evolution that eavry one contributes to

I don't know... Just like Metroid really can't take the title "Best. Game. EVER!", could you really say that Bioshock is the greatest game, ever made, out of all the games that have ever been published?

I don't think this is a question that can be answered, period.
Personal tastes vary too much when it comes to video games. Too many factors play in when people think about what makes a game great.
Those were my two cents.

I hate Rev Rant. But not specifically because of this video. Because of all of them.

I agree with Product Placement. You can't name Metroid OR Bioshock as the Citizen Kane of video games. It's really a silly comparison to make and shouldn't be done. Is there a Citizen Kane of music? Of comic books? Of Kool-Aid flavors?

There may very well be a Citizen Kane of games. It is not Metroid or Metroid Prime. Those are GOOD games, but not "ZOMG REVLOUTIONORY".

Even if there was, Bioshock would be fairly low on the ladder. Why didn't they investigate Vagrant Story or Planescape: Torment or Pathologic or something? All had far deeper stories than Bioshock.

Bioshock didn't have a "Story" so much as it had a string of random events designed to make you scream "ZOMG WAT TEH FUXX AM HAPPEN FFFFFFFFFF" at your TV.

See, that's exactly why you can't choose a Citizen Kane of video games. You just named a bunch of games I've never played, and they may very well be good games. I just can't think of a single game that 95% of the world thinks is an incredible game... yet. The time may come, though.

Nobody has heard of them! That's what makes them art.

I'd play it, New Game + it, then trade it in at Gamestop, buy it a week later and play it again.

And if we're going on games that REALLY set a bar, wouldn't the original Super Mario or something from way back then be a more suitable choice?
God needed the Devil, the Beatles needed the Rolling Stones, Hakoshen needs me.
I'm the enemy he requires to define him.
Soon or later, he'll bring me back to life again for another epic encounter of shouting about power levels and grimacing.

Good point. Then there's also things like Tetris and Pac-Man.

OOH! And let's not forget... [flash-games.net]
