 This is inspired by the countless threads of OoT vs Gta IV

Games are reviewed based on their time right. Well "ever" refers to all time and not a single period of time as would be the case in a review.  This means the review is comparing the game to already released games, and not future games. So it would be incorrect to call a game that is the highest reviewed "the best game ever". 

Another reason why this would be an incorrect statement is  the following expression " nothing lasts forever" I'm pretty sure chances are that a game will be out rated sometime in the future by another game.

I would prefer if people would use " The highest rated game history". You know " The best game ever" is an opinion, and if you say a more correct statement that is a fact then " The highest rated game in history" would be better.
