With another Edge anniversary comes another deliberation over the best games of all time. But we didn’t want to think about the indisputable classics all over again. This time we wanted to make it personal by asking the question, if you had every game ever made at your fingertips, which would we play right now. What are the games, shorn of nostalgia and presumption, that we would actually want to spend time playing.
Which is not to say that all old games are out of the picture. Certain games are remarkably resilient to time, with the Zelda series in particular proving its exceptionally consistent quality.
We hope we’ve come up with a snapshot of the titles that define modern videogaming as it stands in March 2009.
