Perfect games? (hexbear.net)

I'm curious what you guys have to say about this. Are there any games you consider perfect? Can a game even be perfect?

My example of a perfect game is always Portal 1. Portal 2 has more going on, but in 1 there just isn't anything to shave off. From start to end, there is nothing I'd change about the game. It's short, infinitely replayable, great pacing. I like Portal 2 a lot in concept, in concept it should be a perfect sequel, but it just doesn't keep the extreme tightness of the original game.

Super Mario RPG is just about perfect. Not only can I not think of a single thing you could take away, but what's there is pretty meaty - the game accomplishes everything it sets out to do, and in doing so proves that a twelve hour JRPG where everything is good is vastly superior to a hundred hour JRPG with a lot of filler. I haven't played the remake but the original is one of the few games that I go back and replay to 100% completion every year or so, and it always holds up.
