      Pytor Yes indeed. I still play Ms. Pac-Man (on XBLA) to this day. Top 5 for sure.

      Ms. Pac-Man's a good game, but it seems quaint compared to Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. If I could only play one Pac-Man game, I know which one I'd choose.

      I'm incensed at myself for not having played Arkham City yet. I absolutely loved Asylum when i bought it last summer, and I was intent on buyingCity on day one. Unfortunately, I found myself financially lacking, and then just sorta... Forgot. After this, I'm reminded just how good Asylum was, and how much I really need to get onto buying City and playing through it, especially with The Dark Knight Rises having just come out, and I'm sure watching that with my sister will be more than enough to get my enjoyment of Batman up to the point where no matter how much I pay Arkham City will be worth buying.

      For me Arkham City just about shades it over Asylum. Asylum had better collectibles (I ignored most of the Riddler trophies in City) but the boss fights were awful. City's main story is more interesting (the side missions are a bit hit and miss tbh) and I felt you had more freedom to explore the fantastic combat system. Definitely one of the best games I've played this gen, but I'm not sure how high it would rank in my greatest games ever made.

      No ‘greatest game ever made’ can have the fundamental issue that this (and many other) games have. It should be disqualified for having these extra advantages: it relies on the purchase of DLC to complete the experience, and the game relies on pre-written material too heavily. You might say that you ‘don’t have to but the DLC’, but it is woven deeply into the game and is far too pervasive to be ignored. Any ‘best game ever’ has to be a whole unit, accessible for everyone, and not reliant on special purchases. Also, if Batman really is as great as the article describes, it seems Rocksteady had half of their work done for them. This too is an unfair advantage to other, ground-up games and ideas.

      If we're talking about a game that embarrassed its predecessor, look no further than Just Cause 2. That definitely deserves a 'Why JC2 is one of the best games' article.

      I strongly disagree. The story line was shallow and unrealistic and seemed very rushed. And to everyone saying "Assassin's Creed II was a huge improvement to the first game" and "It's superior by far" I do not understand what you're saying. Assassin's Creed I was revolutionary and simple. Its controls were firm and solid, all of your weapons could be selected without a weapon wheel, the characters stayed true to the status quo that was set at that era, and had superior, beautiful graphics. Ezio's emotional struggle was also a big failure. It felt fractured and artificial, like half the time he didn't care and other times he'd break out in a killing fit. Sure, AC2's movement and climbing were smoother, but they were also very boring. Calling Assassin's Creed II the best game ever made is an insult to videogames overall. I wouldn't even say the first one (which I love with all of my tenacity) was the best of all time, although it was definitely up there in 2nd or 3rd place. But I guess every once in a while there's that majority opinion that you disagree with and you just have to deal with it. :/

      "But I guess every once in a while there's that majority opinion that you disagree with and you just have to deal with it. :/" Perhaps you should take that as a hint that maybe, just maybe, you might be in the wrong. Specially if you seriously think the first game is better looking, in which case, you probably need to go to the oculist.
