Video Games
The "greatest video games of all time" list is one of the oldest and most contested rankings in entertainment. Ocarina of Time, Half-Life 2, The Last of Us, Tetris, Chrono Trigger — the question isn't whether these games are great, it's which generation's games deserve to rank.
Sort by release year, by platform, by genre. Community-ranked — because a 1995 gamer and a 2020 gamer are essentially arguing about different mediums.
