The PC Gamer Forums Top 100 Games

[ZedClampet]

This is the top 100 PC games of all time as selected by the PC Gamer Forums members!

Note: After reviewing all the lists we provided, it became obvious that we could not break up game series, mostly because we didn't follow the provided rules when making our lists. Therefore, if you see "Elder Scrolls" or "Half Life", that includes every game in that series rated as one game. The choice was either to do it that way or to invalidate half the lists. Upon reflection, I think it actually works better this way.

1 Half Life
2 Elder Scrolls
3 Doom
4 Civilization
5 Baldur's Gate
6 Counter Strike
7 Grand Theft Auto
8 Command & Conquer

12 City of Heroes
13 Fallout

If you see any typos, games that should have been combined, judgement errors (just kidding) or any other problems please let me know.

I swear, the mass hysteria that you people are suffering to put Half-Life in the number one spot (let alone on the list in the first place) is a serious medical conundrum. Well, at least it doesn't seem to be contagious.

I ponder the same about HALO as well.

If it helps you out any, it wasn't even close. It came in first by a large margin.

Oh, I have no doubts about that. The sickness runs deep. A cure just might be impossible.

I think the only one that seems a bit strange to me is Watch Dogs being so high. It's not a game I see being mentioned very often, let alone being mentioned by anyone as one of their favourite games ever.

lucky its not the top 100 Nintendo games, with the compression of games into a series, Mario would win by so much there would be a need for a microscope to see second.

if you discount games as part of a series, then it appears it was Satisfactory (which is strangely fitting) is 1st.

So there is no right way to do it... if series were apart then top 100 would be different. Maybe you should have just counted top game in a series and ignored rest.

Watch Dogs 2 is pretty good, but I'm not sure if I would put it in a top 100, but it would make my top 5 Ubisoft games.

How many individual voters were there?

Some unusual picks here. I mean simon the sorcerer? But nice to see Doom on the list. Oh well.

This is a forum member vote and is for the most part subjective. Why would you be disappointed X game is on the list , but not Y game? This should not be taken as an authoritative claim on the best games ever nor is it trying to be one. These are just games the people that voted like best. That's all.

 

[Johnway]

More surprise tbh not disappointment. For point and click adventures i would have picked beneath a steel sky or a lucasarts point and click over Simon the sorcerer. I've played the amiga and the PC version and its alright, just not expecting to see it in top 100.

Small enough that everybody's favorite is going to be somewhere in the top 30, I expect, making it the best top 100 evah! Take that Gameranx!

My Avatar looks at the list and doesn't see itself. Goes on a witch hunt to burn Zed for not even being in top 100. Colif tries to hold it back as he happy Sacred there but it might not be enough.
