What Ever Happend To GTA4 Vs Ocarina of time?
Things seem to be at a crawl today on Nintendo news. So I decided to check out the feud between GTA and Ocarina of Time at gamerankings.com. For months after GTA 4 came out, it was in battle with ” The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of time” for the top spot as best reviewed game. Now about 10 months later, and with all the reviews in, I can happily say that The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time has reclaimed its thrown back on top. Will anything be good enough to surpass Ocarina in greatness? The question should be, is their going to be a game that will have just as much impact as Ocarina had in the gaming world?
