Cheers for posting this list, mate...good job

For the most part, I quite strongly agree with this list.  Obviously my list would be in a uniquely different order, but none of their choices were too far out-of-place.  Even WOW, which I hate passionately, I was glad to see near the top because it deserves to be there even though my opinion of it is the opposite.

And i was VERY happy to see "N" in the list (even if it WAS 97th or something).  N is one of my favourite games of all time (Elastomania too), as a game that you can sit down and play for 2 minutes while you're waiting for someone to get out of the bathroom.

Some awesome games on the list, for sure, but best games EVER? No way, all those games are pretty new, without looking every single one up what's the oldest one? Doom or Pirates! (it didn't note which version, and imo the newest one is actually the best.) And those are the outliers. A great many classics have been overlooked in my opinion. Everybody knows no Best Games Ever list is complete without Betrayal at Krondor! :)

 edit: Oh yeah, and I wonder how the heck Prince of Persia: Sands of Time got on that list, boggles my mind!

Gota mostly agree,although I dont see why Theif 3 is better than 1 and 2.
Also I would probably have System shock 2 in a very close second. Anyway,good list.

It seems my opinion differs very much from this list .... starcraft at such a position, and few others games which I think should have been there like myth,HoMM series etc are not present

NO DOOM 2 and no Heroes of Might and Magic III??????!!!!!

for those reasons its a failed list in my eyes

I listened to the supertest, and they listed only a certain game from each series (Unless the game proved to be different enough to warrent a place for itself), but I believe that one game represents the whole series. For example, Doom and the lack of the second game.

Very weird list. Why do they have so many new games on there? Best games of all time released within the last 3 years? No.

How'd they order the games?  By the score they got?  Voter consensus?  Or determination?..............

Honestly I'd have to change some of those games around a bit, the FPSs mostly.  And besides, I don't like playing favorites with my favorite FPS games :P

It wasn't by the review scores.
They discussed all of the games, what they think should be the best games ever and voted on them, things like that.
If it went by review score, Half-Life 2 would have been first, with 97%.

It's a game I can definetly respect as being number one on the list, but personally I'd put Far Cry above HL2 IMHO......

Morrowind better than Planescape Torment?? That's indeed one of the best jokes I've heard in the past month.

That is by far the most messed up and inaccurate top 101 list I've ever seen. Seeing need for speed most wanted in there already proves that. That game is better than freespace 2? It's better than baldur's gate? That whole list should just go up in flames.

My bad, ignore my previous post. I was thinking about the IGN Top 20 PC Games list.

Can't say I agree with many on that list.  They have Psychonauts but not Tetris or Freelancer or Interstate '76.
