The Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition book has claimed Black Ops to have the greatest game ending ever. It polled over 13,000 fans to find the top fifty games that had you leaving the game gobsmacked by the ending.
Do you agree? Did this have the best ending?
Other games that made it into the top ten include shooter Halo: Reach, N64 classic Ocarina of Time and Modern Warfare 2. Editor Gaz Deaves said, “This list recognises some of the greatest endings and hopefully will get gamers talking about what are their favourites and why.”
Looking over the list there seems to be some odd choices there with New Super Mario Bros. Wii finding it’s way into the list for example. Black Ops for me didn’t really stand out finale wise either. What do you guys think? Any you think should be included? Any you think shouldn’t be there?
