Fighting games were in a rough place prior to , but Street Fighter 4 brought the series back to the roots of its popularity, including the more popular cast from Street Fighter 2.
Its highly stylized art style proved odd but ultimately appealing, and its online play was serviceable enough that the genre no longer felt like a total nonstarter. It was the genre's bedrock game through the release of Ultra Street Fighter 4, which most consider to be Street Fighter 4's apex due to its large roster and strong balance.
Its influence has since waned, but it is inarguably one of the most important games in the genre's history, and still one of the PS3's best games. The ability to experiment with new parts to customize your weapons and the addition of Hoverboots add a lot more mechanical depth to the combat and exploration. Add on top of that a moving story that really digs into why the titular duo is so enduring - and has endured for so long - and A Crack in Time delivers one of the best action games on the PS3.
Batman blew the doors off what the Arkham franchise could be, extending out beyond the confines of its prior though still fantastic first entry, Arkham Asylum, for a larger, engrossing sequel. While it does have a story mode with over 50 levels, the robust and refined customization notches it above the original LittleBigPlanet for us, and demonstrated the imaginative possibilities Media Molecule has continued to explore in Dreams. Portal 2 is the perfect example of what a sequel can be.
The writing is funnier, the campaign longer and more layered in its puzzles and storytelling. Throw in one of the greatest standalone co-op campaigns ever made, and you have an all-time great filled with unforgettable moments, from the GLaDOS potato sequence to the final moon shot. With film, Netflix, book, education, toy, and other projects either completed or in the works, Minecraft has transcended the medium in a way few other games have.
Arguably the most timeless video game ever created, Tetris sits comfortably atop the list of all-time bestsellers. Initially released for the Soviet Union-developed Elektronika 60 computer, variations of the classic puzzler have since been made for over 50 different platforms, according to The Tetris Company. Notably, it helped launch Game Boy to success, eventually selling 35 million copies on Nintendo's handheld console. While a specific sales total is unavailable and likely near impossible to calculate considering its numerous variations and platforms , Henk Rogers, The Tetris Company's managing director, told VentureBeat Tetris has million paid mobile downloads , in addition to "something like 70 million" physical game sales.
Considering that figure was reported in , it's safe to assume the million total has since shot up well above million. Modern variations of the classic are still being released to this day; Tetris Effect was a IGN Game of the Year nominee , while Tetris 99, a battle royale-inspired take on the puzzler, was released last month for Nintendo Switch.
For the sake of simplicity, we've opted to do so. However, even if we were to separate its many variations, sales of the mobile version alone would seemingly place it atop this list. Jordan is a freelance writer for IGN.

Sega vs. Nintendo defined a generation in the '90s, while today's more mild console wars and monthly NPD reports keep sales figures at the forefront of games-related discussion.
With such a persistent emphasis on performance, one of the industry's biggest questions has always been, What are the best-selling video games of all time? To answer this question, we set out to compile the most accurate list possible, digging through financial reports, news stories, interviews, and more.
The result is the following list of the ten best-selling video games of all time, as of February Notes: We've counted pack-in games toward sales totals, considering all ten games on this list were, at one point, bundled with a console. Free downloads are not counted as sales, therefore excluding games like Fortnite and League of Legends.
