Default PC Gamer\'s Top 50 Games of All-Time

The new PCG has an updated list of their top 50 games of all-time.
The list had not been done in PCG since 2001.

At that time, Half-Life was the clear choice for #1.

So, here is the list:

<ul type="square">[*](50) Freedom Force[*](49) The Secret of Monkey Island[*](48) Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger[*](47) Worms Armageddon[*](46) Homeworld[*](45) Sam &amp; Max Hit the Road[*](44) Master of Orion[*](43) High Head Major League Baseball 2002[*](42) Panzer General[*](41) Max Payne[*](40) IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles[*](39) System Shock 2[*](38) Beavis &amp; Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity[/list]
How in the hell can they put B&amp;B above SS2 and Homeworld?
That's craziness.
<ul type="square">[*](37) Tomb Raider[*](36) Rise of Nations[*](35) Neverwinter Nights[*](34) Total Annihilation[*](33) The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery[*](32) Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar[*](31) Mechwarrior 2[*](30) Unreal Tournament 2004[*](29) Simcity 2000[*](28) Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed[*](27) Deus Ex[*](26) Quake[*](25) Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia[*](24) Everquest[*](23) The Sims[*](22) Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six[*](21) Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II[*](20) Call of Duty[*](19) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic[*](18) Far Cry[*](17) Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert[*](16) Diablo II[*](15) Duke Nukem 3D[*](14) Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon[*](13) Star Wars: Tie Fighter (word)[*](12) Grand Theft Auto III[*](11) Baldur's Gate[*](10) Fallout[*](9) Battlefield 1942[*](8) X-Com: UFO Defense[*](7) Starcraft (oh yes)[*](6) Diablo[*](5) Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness[*](4) Half-Life 2[*](3) Sid Meier's Civilization II[*](2) Doom[*](The Winner) Half-Life[/list]

I agree and disagree with many parts of this list.
It's interesting to note that Blizzard has 4 titles in the top 20, and 3 of them are in the top 10. Obviously, the only other big winner in the top ten is Valve.

Discuss!

Are they not counting Halo based on a technicality or something? I know it's PC Gamer, but Halo was released as a PC game, and is clearly than, *ahem*

Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity.

Not sure how BF1942 got so high, Call of Duty is a better game and Return to Castle Wolfenstein was better than both, particulary multiplayer.

Half Life 2 I got really bored with the level when you are driving that motorbike boat thing and havent touched it since.

How can Civ 2 and GTA3 be in the top 10 but their far superior sequels don't even make the list? Where is Star Control 2?

The key is in how revolutionary the game is.
It's not based on pure gameplay or graphics.

If that was the case, many of the older games could not be on this list.

If that's the case, then Dune 2 and at least one of the Wizardry games should really be on here.

Is Half-Life 2 really that revolutionary?

I agree. The first Diablo I remember thinking wasn't taking advantage of its full potential at the time, since you stay in the same town the whole time. I always thought that was lame.
