Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Atari Adventure. Some guy in the forums even uses Yorgle as an avatar. And it was the very first easter egg, ever.

I agree. I love Resident Evil, but Zelda, seriously needs to be on there

I add my voice to the chorus of people that have pointed out the clearly flawed nature of the poll due to it's lack of inclusion of The Legend of Zelda.

Of course Mario is going to win when he doesn't have to worry about having the Master Sword wielding hero of time to deal with.

Tetris.

I've sunk a lot of hours into a lot of games, but I always have time for a game of Tetris.

I'm making it up, but it's the truth.

Revenue wise I def think Halo is the best game. Halo 1 was a complete HIT!

I do agree Super Mario appealed to a wider range of people, but come on Halo is by far the best game!

Im a huge fan of Call of Duty, Super Mario, Resident Evil, & Sonic but stats wise nothing compared to Halo!

Halo is awesome, but come on, anyone that ever grew up with the Nintendo 64 the best game of all time has to be Super Mario 64.

mass effect series, the story and characters carry more weight than any other franchise and can rival most movies

If we're talking about consistently good games across an entire library, I'm going to throw Battlefield into the mix

Am I honestly the only Castlevania fan here????? What the crap? I've been rotating play time between AoS on the Advance SP and SoTN on Xbox Live Arcade. Loving the classics!

Othello! Oh wait, I guess I missed the poll from yesterday -- and I definitely don't want anyone thinking I consider any form of Reversi the greatest video game franchise.

But I would think that a company who uses an exclamation point so prominently in its logo would have put Metal Gear on the poll. Mario and Zelda ruled my childhood, EA Sports took over in adolescence, but the adult in me sides with Snake and the gang.

I know it's recent, but I'm going to vote Uncharted.

Thinking old school, it's hard to beat Mario in all his incarnations though.

"That's Easy!!!"

Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It is the >only< game that ever intrigued me enough to actually buy a console. Indeed, I still have my original NES for the sole purpose of occasionally playing that game.

I love that line.

Doom, clearly. 17 years later and there's still a strong modding community and you can still find matches online.

Super Mario 64 was amazing, but I'm be no means a fan of the Super Mario Galaxy games.

And Legend of Zelda ought to be on there. OoT Rules!
