I don't understand what you are getting at. Could you explain in detail how measuring to that degree of precision would help OoT stay ahead?
What he's saying is... since Mario Galaxy has the same % rating as Zelda OoT, that Gamerankings had to break the ratings down into .000 % to seperate the games. He's suggesting they did it because they want to keep Zelda at #1. I say they're doing it because the race is so close, they want to show who is genuinely #1.Pretty simple, really.

Simply having a few more reviews won't cut it.

I don't work at Gamerankings, so I can't say. Does it really matter who nabs the #1 spot though? They're both almost flawless games for their respective eras.

[/QUOTE]I agree why argue over the number one spot when being anywhere on the list is a great accomplishment.

It matters to a lot of people what ''the best game of all time'' is... especially those people in places such as System Wars where something like this could mean the difference between a won and lost argument or to those who try to find objectivity among the opinions of others.

I myself don't care much for scores that reflect an overall evaluation... I find them to not be very specific about a game's actual qualities. And like you said, they are both ''amazing games for their time'' while comparing them to each other would lead to Mario Galaxy being declared the unanimous winner. I don't think it is actually possible to name one game as ''better'' over another especially when considering time periods... and I really don't think Gamerankings is that important unless you consider score to be a deciding factor determining what games you buy.
