There is no such thing as a perfect game, because gaming is not a static environment. Every games value diminishes with time. Can something that is perfect become less then perfect. A perfect sphere is still a perfect sphere today, tomorrow, and a million years from now. Perfection is permanent and immutable. Perfect is unattainable and is merely an illusion. To claim otherwise is to be blind to the reality of our lives.

That said a 10/10 is merely the best of a generation, and probably a dozen games at most will sit at that position. For me the prime consideration for a rating which is basically a justification for purchase must be title longevity of continuous use. I always run the cost benefit analysis. When a title starts to edge near a quarter per hour of play. I know that despite what others say I have a game that is a 10.

For me these are the titles that would be 10/10. They weren't perfect, but they were worth every cent. Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Halo, and Halo 3. Other titles were fantastic, but they never kept me glued to my console for countless weeks and months.
