I don't think you can just look at the total score of the game and say it's the best game ever, or the second best, or third best, etc... Do you think if you put Metroid Prime 3 in front of someone who hates shooters and is into MMORPG that they would say MP3 is "better" than WoW? What about someone who only likes sports game and hates rpgs, action/adventure, etc, do you think they would feel Zelda:OOT is better than the games they play?

I don't think someone who hates shooters, RPGs, action/adventure, etc. has a proper appreciation for video games as entertainment.  You can't have a meaningful opinion on "the best game of all time" if you limit yourself to only enjoying MMORPGs or only enjoying sports games.  I'm not saying there's something wrong with people who only like sports games, I'm just saying their opinion is going to carry very little weight for anyone who takes video games more seriously.  If you only like sports games, then you can name a best sports game of all time.
