I remember that feature that Gamespy had.
I also remember that Half Life won against SMB3.
Also, that Halo beat HalfLife, but then the guys at gamespy relized that it got hacked and every vote was a fake vote for Halo. So they redid it and Half Life won.
Its not far fetched that it did because Half Life is one of the best games out there, but so is SMB3, and some others.
Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Resident Evil 4
Half-Life/Half-Life 2
One of these gets my vote. I'm basing this off of sheer gameplay experience, a big epic adventure where you feel truly part of something while feeling cool as hell, not to mention these games have the perfect difficulty curve, and whatever they do, they do it expertly. They can get challenging, but are a joy to play from beginning to end.
If we were talking multiplayer then Goldeneye and/or Counterstrike would get my vote.
But, I'd like to go with Zelda. It was magic in a cartridge.

No it isn't. That's a damn fine list if I may say so.
I forgot about Mario Bros. 3. That should be recognised as being one truly ground-breaking game, especially mainly because it did amazing new things like the level-select-map system (which hadn't been done before then). Not only that but the Green Boot Of Death was the best power up ever!
1. LoZ: Ocarina of Time(doesnt look to fall anytime soon)
2. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Perfect Dark(hours of multiplayer madness)
5. GTA III(may have been outdone by SA, but this game was revolutionary and has led to many now common things like open ended gameplay and massive living worlds)
