Best pc games of all time!

A good group of great games I've played include these at the top:

• DOOM II: Hell on Earth
• Half-Life 2 (especially episode 1 and 2)
• Deus Ex
• Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
• Planescape Torment
• Heroes of Might and Magic III
• System Shock 2
• Starcraft/Brood War
• Diablo 2
• Curse of Monkey Island

The Golden Age of PC Gaming was the 4 year period (January 1997 - December 2000) when PC Games were designed FOR the PC FIRST, and they were at the height of creativity. 8 of the 10 games I mentioned are from that period, and the other 2 are from 1994 and the sequel to the mighty Half-Life from 1998.

January 1997 saw the coming of the original Diablo along with the graphics accelerated version of the original Quake (GL Quake) and for 4 years PC Gaming reigned supreme. In 2001 developers jumped to the then new XBox, the GC, and the PS2 and PC gaming became watered-down a bit. A sad time.

I have to go with

• Diablo 2
• SC2
• Warcraft 3
• Arma 2/OA/PMC
• DayZ mod
• Metro 2033
• Diablo 3 (yes it has issues but 1.0.4 is actually fun now as a Barb player)
• Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines
• L4D
• L4D 2
• Half Life 2 + episodes
• The Witcher 2
• The Witcher
• CS GO

I think we would be great friends.

Here's my list, shrunken down to a list of PC games that everyone should have tried at some point:

• Half-Life series
• StarCraft + Brood War, StarCraft II
• Diablo trilogy
• Deus Ex (original and HR, didn't especially like Invisible War)
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series
• Total War series
• CS 1.6 and CS:S
• Guild Wars series

I would have said plenty of other games like BioShock, except I assumed exclusives only.

I don't bear the credibility to be able to establish a "Greatest of all time" list.

System Shock 2 - Superior to Deus Ex in every conceivable way. Superior writing, plot, voice-acting, sound-engineering. Restrictive character development, and thus restricted environmental interactions, scarce resource management. Greatest horror game that I know of.

Half-Life 2 - The flow between ever-shifting gameplay mechanics, story-telling and its ambigious nature

Arcanum, Fallout 1/2 - The truest the RPG genre has ever achieved, that I know of yet

Doom, Quake - Fantastic level design, gunplay

Warcraft 3 - Heroes, hero items, dynamic creep patterns, exceptional single-player campaign/story

Rogue Spear - Just take a glance at the keyboard layout

Mount and Blade: Warband.

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

Just Cause 2 (port, I know. But soooo much fun)

X-wing series

Ultima 7 and Serpents Isle

Total War games

Europa Universalis 3

Not only are these my favorite PC games, but I think they are the best of their respective genres.

Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut which is actually a port of a Dreamcast game but I liked it so much I wanted to keep playing it!
