Guinness World Records recently polled 13,519 gamers in search of the greatest video game ending of all time. When the dust cleared, a winner was revealed — Call of Duty: Black Ops. The popular first-person shooter was released last year and went on to become one of the best-selling video game of all time. Second place went to the popular Xbox-exclusive Halo: Reach, the 13-year old The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came in third, and God of War and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 rounded out the top five. “Everyone has an opinion on how to end a game whether it’s an epic boss fight, a clever plot twist or a 90-minute movie,” Guinness World Records gaming editor Gaz Deaves said. “This list recognizes some of the greatest endings and hopefully will get gamers talking about what are their favorites and why.” Read on for the full list.
