Is this right?
Can I say "This is the best game I have ever played"
or is it
"This is the best game I had played."
or is it
"This is the best game I had played."

Hi, First, let me ask you a simpler question. Do you know the difference between 'I have cooked dinner' and 'I had cooked dinner' ? I'm asking because I want to know if you have an understanding of the Present Perfect and Past Perfect tenses.

Yes, I think I have cooked dinner is when I've just cooked it, where as had cooked dinner suggests I cooked it some time ago.
