PC Gamer has published another 'All Time Best' list of PC games (http://www.pcgamer.com/best-pc-games/#page-1), and since since any 'best of' list always provoked discussion, I thought I'd post about it here.

58 Braid
57 Dark Souls
56 Papers, Please
55 Quake III
54 Hitman: Blood Money
53 Resident Evil 4 HD
52 DayZ
51 TowerFall: Ascension

50 Batman: Arkham Asylum
49 Mass Effect
48 Pillars of Eternity
47 Guild Wars 2
46 Day of the Tentacle
45 Arma 3
44 Fallout
43 Half-Life
42 System Shock 2
41 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

40 Cities: Skylines
39 Fallout 3
38 BioShock Infinite
37 Sid Meier’s Civilization V
36 EVE Online
35 League of Legends
34 The Walking Dead: Season 1
33 STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
32 Deus Ex: Human Revolution
31 World of Warcraft

30 Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn
29 StarCraft II
28 Divinity: Original Sin
27 FTL: Faster Than Light
26 Dragon Age: Origins
25 Hearthstone
24 Spelunky
23 Doom
22 Arma 2
21 Minecraft

20 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
19 Alien: Isolation
18 Dota 2
17 Kerbal Space Program
16 Planescape: Torment
15 XCOM: Enemy Unknown
14 Portal 2
13 Crusader Kings II
12 Mass Effect 3
11 Thief II

10 Fallout: New Vegas
9 Portal
8 Deus Ex
7 Grand Theft Auto V
6 Dishonored
5 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
4 Team Fortress 2
3 Bioshock
2 Mass Effect 2
1 Half-Life 2

I don't agree with the list of course (when does anyone ever agree fully with these lists?) but it's not as bad as many lists of this type. Though I don't agree with Half-Life 2 being higher than HL1 (and where's the Opposing Force expansion pack, which to me is better than either HL main game), and Bioshock 2 should be higher than B1 and Bioshock: Infinite (B2 isn't even in the list!!!), I don't know how Dishonored could be higher than Thief 2 (Dishonoured is good, but not that good), and even though GTA V is fantastic, GTA: San Andreas is still more fun. Also, how can Portal 2 be higher than Portal 1, or Batman: Arkham Asylum (which is brilliant) be in the list but not Arkham City?

And of course, being a PC only games list, it's fair enough that they don't include console games, even ones as great as Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Timesplitters 2 and 3, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Vanquish, Read Dead Revolver.

And the list does include No one Lives Forever 2, which is often wrongly left out of best PC game lists. They should have included Singularity, though.

Thoughts? Other than "These lists are always" pointless, of course, as we all know that already Wink

The fact that they only have Quake III, and I and II aren't even on there (and ahead of it...), invalidates the whole thing.

Really, it's just ridiculous to compare apples and oranges of different genres. Heh, for example, Sensible Soccer over Red Alert 2...say what???

The order is bonkers but hard to make a serious case against any being listed. These lists are always like that.

I would contend this is a "good games" list that omits important and influential; original Starcraft would clearly be on there otherwise. It might as well be the national pastime of S. Korea.
