Boards.ie Top 100 All Time PC Games

humanji

Right, inspired by this thread and the amount or arguing over what should go where, I thought it'd be nice to see how the Top 100 list of pc games would look if chosen by Boardsies.

So here's what I want people to do:

Create a list of 10 PC games that you think should be on the list. You can only put down one or two if you want, but I'm putting a maximum limit of 10 to make things easier on myself.

The list you create should be in order, so of the ten you choose, No 1 will be your favourite and No. 10 will be your not so favourite.

Then, Pm me with your list. You don't have to do anything fancy, like say "Hello" or anything, just send me a list of games. And because you Pm me, it'll add a bit of excitement to the whole event because nobody but me will know who's winning, until the end (plus, if I don't like the outcome, I can doctor the results ).

Once you have Pm'd me, I'll add your name to this post, so at least people will know that their posts have been counted.

I'm going to put a deadline of 10:00am on the 1st June. That's just over two weeks away so it's plenty of time. Anything recieved after that date will be ignored and I'll put you name up on this post as a reminder to other idiots to try and follow deadlines!

The marking of the games will be thus: In your lists, your top rated game will recieve 10 points, the second game gets 9, third get 8 etc. So when I'm done, I'll be able to add up the points for all the games and post up the final list.

I haven't fully thought this out because I'm still a little drunk from last night, and I'm also trying to make my boss think that I'm working, so if you see any problems with this then feel free to berate me.

And feel free to try and pimp your facourite game here BUT DON'T USE THIS THREAD TO JUST LIST GAMES!!!! If you want to mention a game here you MUST write something about it! Anything will do, just put a little effort into it.

Right, I think that's about it. This post may change later on when I sober up and read through it, so be wary of that!!!

[UPDATE] The following people have sent in their nominations. If you've sent a pm to me and you're not on the list, then you're an idiot and got my name wrong! Send it again.

Dammit Helix, didn't you just read what I said!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHH I feel like I've taken crazy pills!!!

And I'm watching you DrDre! I should of put a minimum amount of words for these posts too

Kiith

Great idea. PM sent

Duras

To make things even more interesting, and to kill more of you free time here is what I propose: as the nominations are sent only to you but you have to keep us posted and daily update the top 10 in this thread.

What say you?

SeantheMan

Sounds like a great idea

Only thing id reccomend is to change the scoring

As if say 1 game got 3 #1 votes, i could still be beat by a game that got voted 3rd x3times and 1 4th place

Maybe the top 3 spots should get a higher value,than the other seven, and a gap between each of the top 3 :rolleyes:

Either way, its a good idea youve had
This will waste a few mins in work for me till lunch while i try think of my top 10 to pm you

Also, i think each member should..if they are going to mention a game (which would be thier number 1 im presuming) has to write something about it as you say, to back up why they rate it so high

That sounds like waaaayyyy to much thinking. If you want to think up a fairer scoring system then I'll happily use it, but at the mo, the current one involves little brain power on my part and thus keeps me happy

Meh!

Oh, and I've decided against posting a daily top 10 list. You may disagree, but my thinking is that people will see the top 10 and may be influenced by it, or to change it. So anonimity is the key!

casper-

Can we vote _against_ games? And have those votes subtracted from their total? There are one or two in particular I'm thinking of here ...

The Bollox

there's so.much.politics!

however I do like the subtraction idea

SeantheMan

Id argue against that

Id suggest another poll after this for topics such as the "worst PC games" or "most overrated PC games" in which those posts could be useful

I can only assume you're volunteering to do those polls then?

After this one has finished and depending upon the response

Dont be at yourself

Stickied.

humanji

Woohoo! My first sticky!

brav

Just sent My top 10.

Quite hard to think of which ones to include.
At first I forgot it was just PC games and had super mario and everything included!

humanji

Some great choices by people so far, and even though just over 10 people have voted so far, we've got some clear favourites. I won't go into details, but I will mention that Solitaire is currently beating Battlefield 1942 and World Of Warcraft

Here's a site that could jog your memory:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/pc/scores/

it's a site that amalgamates the scores from popular review sources

Just a question, in the interest of fairness, can you group all of the championship and football managers into one game so as different seasons dont destroy the poll.

If not championship manager 99/00

Well they are different games, technically. But to be honest, I don't really play them. If nobody has any objections, they I may as well.

super_furry

Really wanted to put Heretic II top, but WoW just edges it out for me.

Time to install Heretic II again though.

You could maybe group them as CM pre-2004 and FM post-2004 if we're just talking about Sports Interactive CM ?

Duras

Well, well? What are the results so far?

I'm keeping it under wraps until the grand unveiling

How many votes so far

humanji

Right, sadly, I can't edit my original post anymore, so I'll have to create a new post when someone sends in their nominations. Added to the list are: bugler, quarryman and johnny_ultimate, bringing the number of people who could be arsed to 21. I'm now glad that I didn't ask people to nominate only 1 game.
