What is the greatest video game of all time? What criteria would you even use to figure that out? @RollingStone say it's about how influential a game was when it was launched, and whether it still holds up. "A good game may have played well, but a great one still does," say the team behind the magazine's new ranking. Which of these four do you think came out on top? After you've voted, take a peek at the list and tell us what you think.

50 Best Video Games of All Time

Once again, we're reminded of the inherent silliness of "greatest of all time" lists. How can this be empirically judged?! Even if it could, voters in this poll think that @RollingStone got it wrong. The magazine selected "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," saying: "More than anything else, 'Breath of the Wild' is a vibe, where you can spend your hours just doing whatever it is you want to do. Saving the day can wait. Mastodon chose "Tetris," with @neballer summing it up: "I beat BOTW in my house, by myself and over the course of a few months. It was an amazing game. It took an entire community of fans, players and hackers 40 years to beat Tetris and they're all still playing it. Tetris is #1 hands down."
