Ocarina "World's Best" Game

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been named the world's best videogame by influential multi-format UK-based videogame magazine, Edge.

Compiled from thousands of votes from Edge readers, nominations were made for hundreds of games, spanning across the last three decades. The voting process also involved creatives working in the videogame industry, and countless rounds of deliberation among the Edge editorial staff.

That was a great game, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it the "World's Best" game.

The game is good, but to call it the best is going to far.

Why is FF XII on there? I mean it's a new game but hardly a top 10 world's best considering that it's the only FF game on the list!

It is an opinion piece by Edge though so you can take it lightly. I do think Zelda: OoT was/is a really great game and should be on the list, but FFXII...? It didn't even have a twist!

I have played them all except FFXII and HL2 however I will get the orange box later this year. All of the games on the list where great experiences not to be forgotten, but I guess I didn't play Halo right when it came out but several years later so maybe that is why it didn't hit me as hard as the others, or maybe because I was older.

Ocarina was the first game to combine RPG/Action with a 3-D world to explore - and horseback riding! It was never boring - varied environments/enemies, great combat and puzzles. I've played through Ocarina more times than any other game - five.

Yes there are games that have better combat, or larger worlds, but Ocarina does everything very well.

Good to see RE4 up there too - an absolutely brilliant game.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
