My Top 10 PC games of all time in no particular order:
1) Myth: The Fallen Lords ---- made by Bungie studios before Microsoft bought them because they wanted Bungie's next game, Halo, to be an Xbox launch title. Myth was the first ever true 3d squad level real time tactical game and it was a masterpiece in every way, both single player and multi-player.
2) All the Infinity Engine Role-playing games (too hard to pick just one.) Planescape, Baldur's Gate I and II, Icewind Dale I and II. No fantasy RPGs have ever come close to these games in pure fantasy roleplaying, story and tactical level strategy gaming excellence.
3) Medal of Honor: Allied Assualt ---- The D-Day Normandy invasion level will go down in history as one of the greatest, most immersive, cinematic, teeth clenching game levels in gaming ever created. Multi-player was top notch as well. Many of the designers left Electonic Arts and formed Infinity Ward which created Call of Duty1 and 2.
4) SHIII ---- I won't preach to the choir except to say that few games have ever matched the simulation experience, graphics, depth of gameplay, realism, replayability and devoted mod community as this game embodies.
5) Everquest ---- Nothing can compare to the experience of entering this living, persistent, 3D gameworld for the first time. A truly mesmerizing experience. No game has ever replicated the absolute fear, awe, and joy in exploring a virtual world than this one.
6) Half-Life 2 ---- The best ever FPS game ever made.
7) Farcry ---- The other best FPS game ever made.
8) Vampire: The Masquerade ---- One of the most underated games ever. For pure immersiveness, roleplaying and adult oriented open ended fun, this game is a must have.
9) Zork I ---- text based adventure game that did more to create a generation of PC gamers than probably any game ever has.
10) You Don't Know Jack I and II (and others) ---- A brilliant series of irrverant trivia games that have generated more laughs, good hearted competition and pure fun in my home than any other compliation of bits and bytes to be sketched into my hard drive.
