Let the debate begin

DarkJager

Far Cry at number 30???? Deus Ex at number 1??? This immediately renders this list invalid!

Duras

Nice list... however I think it has few flaws... Brilliant games like KOTOR2 and Arcanum are not there...

Also the oldies and goldies.... Sam&Max is in the list but Day of the Tentacle is not there??

Talking about oldies, how come Simon the Sorcerer is not in the list?

Also Half Lives are waaaaaaaay overrated.

Shame on me, I never played Deus Ex so I can say nothing on that

It is very difficult to say which is the best game ever that I played, but it is probably be one of: KOTOR, KOTOR2, Arcanum and Oblivion.

johnny_ultimate

Would be lying if I said Id played alot of the games on the list - probably only around 15 of them.
But the top two would probably be exactly the same if I was to write it (maybe switched around order-wise).
But I'll be honest - I nearly stopped reading when the first game I saw was Need for Speed.

Tar.Aldarion

Warcraft III should be higher, and with the sequel, number 1.
That or morrowind.

Iompair

A wing commander game but no Tie Fighter!
A lot of good games on the list though.

muppetkiller

Not a bad list I thinK i have all but 5 of them ..mainly the online ones Ultima and everquest.
But having AVP2 there and not AVP1 is just silly . AVP2 was woeful by comparrison to the first one.

MOH

Surprised Max Payne 2 is on there but not the original.

Bought them both again a couple of weeks ago, most of the way through the second now, but although the graphics are way better on it, I prefeered the first one.
The storyline in the first one was better. It had a couple of neat little puzzles to progress, didn't hold you up too long but involved a bit of thought. Quite a few popular culture references, which haven't really dated that much. And it introduced 'bullet time' and variable difficulty. Only downside was there were a couple of places where the gameplay got a bit repetitive, but the same can be said for the second one.

KOTOR2 was pants. developers were rushed to release it, half the stories amounted to nothing and there was so many bugs! there was forums taken down it got so much bad press!

loved KOTOR but KOTOR2 took the piss. Money grabbing b4stards!

Glad to see Fallout there at 21, fallout1&2 were best rpgs ever! Better than ff7!

Bought Deus Ex but never got into it. too dark and boring. cant believe its number 1

Nuttzz

m1 tank platoon from microprose back in 1990 was a ground breaking game imho, pah kids what would they know!!

tungsten

wheres me delta force??:eek:

humanji

Like Muppetkiller I've all but 5 of them (and yet my family think I've achieved nothing in life...)

Can't believe Half-Life 2 is ranked higher than 1. There is no way in hell that that is right. The first one revolutionised how FPS's were designed and played. HL2 had fancy physics. Not fair at all

DemocAnarchis

Dawn of War higher than Total Annihilation? For shame. Don't agree with Oblivion being so high either, vastly overrated game.

Kiith

Decent list, although i'd have Baldurs Gate 2 up higher.

I'm also guessing no. 58, 'The Fighter' is supposed to be 'Tie Fighter'?

swingking

em.... where's lemmings? a briliant game

Check no.22 ?

Blowfish

heh, can't believe nethack made it in there

Ruu_Old

Ah good old Blood by Monolith (I think) at 101. I still play it from time to time.

Timans

CSS is better than BF2.

Dregon

battlefield 1942 only at 33, battlefield 2 at nine and no mention of bfv?

pfff

Thomas_S_Hunterson

Where is Solitaire?

Beecher

Undying and Grim Fandango should be way higher

Smellyirishman

Freespace 2 anyone? Feck off with your Tie Fighter.

Creature

Good to see Ultima 7: The Black Gate get a mention. I'd probably put Baldur's Gate 2 as my No. 1.

BopNiblets

Reminds me, I have a lot of freaking games to play, only played about 30 of them, and dabbled with about 9 others in small doses (not finished or whatever).

Awesome.

What the hell is soldier of fortune 2 even doing on that list. Awful stuff altogether. Mechwarrior 2 should be in it and Starcraft should be far higher. Half-life was a far better game than 2. GTA doesn't deserve to be sharing the list with a lot of games let alone being no. 11. Both Max Payne games are samey repetitive gash with a dreadful storyline.

Other than that not a bad old list and nice to see the underrated Descent, Blood and Undying on it.
