Over the years countless videos games have been created. Some are have ground breaking graphics and innovative game play. Others are great, and years after they were created are still played and enjoyed by many people. but which of these earns the title of best video game ever, and what makes it the greatest ever?

Some people will turn to recent video games such as the Halo series or the Call of Duty games. They look at the graphics, game play, expert sotry line, and the sheer fun of the games to argue that these games should be named the greatest game of all time.

Others will turn to the forerunners of gaming, pong pacman and the like. They say without these games todays games wouldn't be, and that is why they should be given the title of greatest game ever.

The game i have picked to be the greatest is an older game that has stood the test of time, and is still played and know by almost everyone. Simple, easy to grasp game play that grows progressively harder gives the casual player enjoyment while, at the same time, giving the hardcore player a challenge they will surely enjoy. One of the few games that i enjoy playing and also does my father and grad parents. A game that no one can say anything bad about because, its simplistic game play, and innovative ideas is nearly flawless. A simple fun to grasp game that everyone can easily enjoy and have a great time playing.

What game could be described by this? None other than the classic.... TETRIS!

Tetrisis easily one of the most fun games ever and appeals to everyone from young to old. It's simple game play makes for an enjoyable experience. Countless spin offs of the original game have been made, adding items or multi player capabilities. It's a game that kids can play with their parents without any awkward moments.

Its been on nearly every system from the early cartriages to the high tech disks we have today.

Its a game that remains just as fun since the day it was made. It provides a challenge, but not one that is to frustratingly hard it makes you want to quit.

All thing said, Tetris is a simple fun game. The game play is easy to grasp and anybody can have a good time playing it. It has been on nearly every system and anybody can say "o ya i know that game". There's nothing bad that can be said about it. A simple innovative game that has survived the test of time. This is why Tetris wins the best game ever award.
