Best Game Ever?

What do you think - can you narrow it down to just 1 game?

If I had to give categories, how about:

Best Replay Value over the course of time? - God of War
Most Timeless? (if that's the proper grammar) - Guitar Hero
Best suited to be re-made 20 years from now for better graphics/sound? - Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Best Story? Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2

A metal gear game would need to fit into the equation somewhere. Perhaps a category for best series.

Halo. Yeah, I was a Halo junkie. Big time. Halo parties and everything. That game changed the way games were made the same way GTA did (NOT a GTA fan at all, but I appreciate its impact on the gaming world).

I almost listed that. I love that game although I haven't played in a couple of years. Are the maps the same or are there some new ones?

...on console.

If GoldenEye had been released for the PC instead of the N64, I don't think it would have had nearly the same praise as it did on the console.
