Wed 29th Sep It's definitely not perfect, but BotW would probably be top of my list for the generation as well.It was then comfortably pushed aside by runner-up Grand Theft Auto V. Then Batman: Arkham City beat out Super Mario 64, Pokémon Yellow, and Dark Souls to reach the semi-finals. Yes, 52 per cent of votes really did choose Rise of the Tomb Raider over the classic Half-Life 2. For example, Rise of the Tomb Raider beat Half-Life 2 in the very first round. While that's a fantastic result for Sony Santa Monica, the polls conducted over the past few weeks haven't come without their controversy, sourced particularly from those who played games before PS2. God of War comfortably takes the victory, then. On Twitter, 63.2 per cent of the 120,390 verdicts opted for God of War, 63 per cent of 273,000 YouTube users chose Kratos' latest game, and another 57 per cent of Instagram subscribers chose the PS4 exclusive. Beating Grand Theft Auto V in the final, votes were gathered across various social media sites and the IGN website itself. 64 video games entered, and now just one remains: God of War has been voted the best video game of all time by IGN readers.
