What is hands-down, the GREATEST pc game you've ever played?

For me? It'd have to be the MW franchise, I love how they're both very multiplayer awesome! How about you? Whats your favorite?

Baldurs gate- icewindale series..It spanned a few years with some good games on that old engine...Nothing beat it nothing will, not even dragon age as much as i love it..No one will ever make a dnd game like, baldurs gate 2 ever again an thats just sad to me..It had every thing i loved about dnd...Shame bioware cant go back to the six party member system..The glory days of a dragonslayer sword..Stuff like this made baldurs gate fun also the strategies the spells an the characters..Boooo you guys remember the hamster )...

Battlefield 2. I would say Counter Strike: Source or WoW, but I've never encountered a hacker ONCE in Battlefield 2.

baldur's gate 2

i cannot decide between these.

Half Life 2/Mafia/The Witcher

the saddest part is that I've never heard of that game :(PuNk_dUdE7

Oh c'mon, be serious: you never heard of Baldur's Gate? :o

I coudn't say a particular game is THE greatest ever: but I would like to cite Gothic 1 as one of the best. It was for sure THE one that glued me to the screen almost 24/7, along with Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession. Yeah, maybe those 2 are the best ever for me. Followed close by Ultima Underworld 1, Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos, Baldur's Gate 2 and Fallout 2.

Baldur's Gate 2 got a 9.2/10 score on Gamespot if that means anything to you. You should definitely look into some of the older RPGs, you'll find a lot of priceless gems.

Doom.

There seem to be a lot of kiddies on this board because most of the games I'm seeing are newer titles that don't even hold a candle to the true classics of PC gaming.

Half-Life or Deus Ex.

Nethack!

When I was just a lil' kid I played this game called Grim Fandango. Great game, every now and then when I feel nostalgic I just pop in the disc and play.

Nethack!

DEVILinIRON

Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield

Hard to pick just one. I'd say Deus Ex if I was forced to, with System Shock 2, Diablo 2, Morrowind and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines bunching up right behind. There's just so many games I've enjoyed, all for different reasons in different genres.

I love Diablo 2.

HL2, because I loved the story, and the mods make it last forever.

Great list here friend, all amazing CRPG's.

This one:

Ultima Online

Proabably Half Life 2 or Diablo 2. Those were very fond memories.

I'm gonna have to go with Age of Empires 2. Such a fun game.

The Witcher, System Shock 2, Diablo 2, Deus Ex, World of Warcraft, Age of Mythology, Warcraft 3, HL2 and I just started playing STALKER SOC for the first time the other day (With 2009 complete mod, it is amazing looking graphically) and from what I played it seems to be an amazing game that may be worthy of my list of best PC games.

DOOM 2: Hell on Earth

Still the King

Here's a sample of DOOM 2 if somehow you actually never played it:

enjoy!

I love Diablo 2.

Baldur's Gate 2 and Command & Conquer...which by the way I'm playing right now.

The Witcher

All around, my favorite game. The story, the choices, the combat, the world, the awesome alchemy system, it was just amazing. It's even better when you read the books. There are some games that come close, but this has to be my favorite.

Thief: The Dark Project ties with HalfLife IMO.

The GREATEST would have to be either the Baldur's Gate Series, Planescape Torment, or Freespace series. However, the following are also at the top of the list:

1. Diablo Series
2.Thief Series
3. Independence War 2
4. Syberia Series
5. Dreamfall
6. Dragon Age

These are on my all-time greatest PC game list...

HomeWorld 2

Max Payne

UT 2004

DoW 1

Deus Ex

Total Annilation

Supreme Commander

Civilization IV

GTA III

FarCry

AoE II

And I would have to say hands down my greatest PC game ever played......System Shock 2

Dues Ex kind of encompases all that is great about PC gaming

although overall i preferred Mafia, more immersive and the setting is incredibly well realized.

Riven.

Counter Strike 1.5. Good times, good times.

KOTOR or Half Life 2
