A little concerned you have grim frandango
and total annihilation already mentioned though... I will not be reading any further Grim Fandango not near the top ten who compiled this list monkeys 87. Grim Fandango
OMG was just going to say the same, what a Joke BLood at 101 SO F.E.A.R is better than blood? you guys need to get off the drugs List has clearly been done by the cleaning lady or its an late/early aprils fool joke.
TO have need for speed in the top 100 is a farse anyway, nothing more than an average racer ported from the ps2. Grim Fandango at 87. And they say WE killed the adventure genre...! This proves how much the media plays in how genres come up and go down, despite whatever gamers WANT!
Notice how the less genres we see nowadays, the lower PC games sales get?! Text adventure and graphic adventure and flight sims and sub sims and wargames and step-time RTS's may not have been huge genres, but now they've gone, we now realise they still accounted collectively for 50% of the 1999 market and maybe the reason PC game sales are now 50% lower in 2007 without them! is it just me, or is there a spelling mistake iun the title? is it just me, or is there a spelling mistake iun the title? just to reiterate whats already been said, butits quite dismaying to see three of my favourite games , and some of the best games of all time, are already here - nolf2, the movies, and grim fandango?! and soldier of fortune II is better than grim fandango? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS!? youd prefer fun but shallow and repetitive shotgun dismemberment over a beatiful, achingly unique and stunningly crafted, dark, funny,and uttlery incredible work of art!? whoever made this list is the peter o'hanraha-hanrahan of list compilation Sorry but Grim Fandango, so soon and Fate of atlantis was super amazing, even though i played it on the amiga it makes me think - what about the old style monkey island games???
anyway back to bed for me i think CVG is bad with smelling mistakes.
ha
There's never going to be a perfect top 100 of anything. It all depends on you and your personal preferences.
So go and get a magic marker and a piece of cardboard and put Grim Fandango in the top 10.
No one will care, but atleast it will be perfect in your eyes. I share the dismay shown by others that Grim Fandango is already listed. But I think the list is impossible to compile! Its good to see someones opinion though i guess.
One of my favourite games of all time was Wild cup soccer and hardly anyone had heard of it:/ . Basically you played football but not just with humans there were monkeys, bears, lizards, rhinos etc and each of them could carry swords, shotguns mortars etc. :D Anyway that was on the amiga 500 and wouldnt therefore be in the list anyway . i am suprised at worms, some of my best gaming memories was sending worms "kamakazing" in to other worms heeheehee :lol: worms should be at a lower number (30's imo)
glad N made it in though, fantastic free game :)
if hl/hl2 arent in top ten ill shooot someone....with my headcrab gun...of doom... blood money and riddick deserve to be there.....to bad i have lost both of them and cant play them sigh I hope that Curse of Monkey Island features very high up (it might be lucky to feature at all given how
un-like most PC games it is) and, even though it is multi-format, Beyond Good and evil too. Resident Evil 4 should feature relatively high (although the Cube version is the definitive one, even without the PS2 extras). Half Life 2 will feature very high of course. Wooooo! ive have play absolutly none of those games!! We should compile a top 101 PC games that should never be in a top 101 PC games list. looks like alot of people have nothing better to do on a sunday then have a go cvg.
That said...
So when are going to see this top 100 gamers list. I expect big boy barry from games world to be near the top, as was that old granny who was strangely good at columns on the megadrive. And just to cause a bit of Controversy (a la Total Annihilation and grimfandango style) on the comments thread. why not put Jet at number seven. Remember Jet - gladiator turned supposed games expert. she used lie on a bed in her 'games boudoir' and give away cheats on a thursday...anyone remember this or did i just dream that last one up? I lay odds now that the majority of the games in the Top 10 will be A) FPS or FPS hybrids and B) Involve lots of killing.
And we wonder why PC gaming has never become mainstream!!! the majority of games on the market are FPS :?
bollocks to the mainstream, haha. i quite enjoy the killing :D
but anyway...... god of war, gears of war, manhunt, thrill kill and the list goes on..... so please dont try to blame video game violence for anything
but now i come to think of it.... where would we be without such quality non-killing titles such as...... the sims, the sims2, the sims: pets, the sims: growing pains or the sims: apocalypse
i'd play more racing games, but they dont allow me to kill people :(
besides, i bet u play either sim:train or mine sweeper :lol: Like many of you, i severely disagree with the list so far but to be honest, i dont care what CVG think about the best 101 PC GAMERS:D
If it was ME, i'd do a different order obviously, to suit MY taste. But regarding this list, although i'd choose a different order like i said, I fully respect their choices as, at the end of the day, it is THEIR favourite 101 PC Games. Although I do think they should change the title to CVGs top 101 etc.
You get the point, you're bright enough :D

http://www.channel4.com/music/myband/paulhudd WTF?!?! i bet you won't even put 'where's waldo' on this list...
a must have, for all people with a chronic need to locate someone in a large croud.
Can't you fu@*%ng journalists cater cater to my obscure tastes?!? =) maybe it's because you have to drop 2,000 bones on a new one every year just to keep playing? =)
i have no idea why people in gaming communities attempt to label shooters as being anti-intellectual.
wouldn't it be nice if we could kill people in imaginary land, and live in peace in the real world instead? =) 1001 games more like it, i see games in this list based on what they could be rather than what they are. The Riddick game is way off, should probably be somewhere below 30... well said, i feel ALOT of these kind of lists r based on "could be". not just on CVG, but right through the mystical community of video game journalists/wizards. You can say you don't care about the mainstream, but the fact that PC gaming is now not the mainstream because of lack of genres and practically no games that allow the option of not having to kill (interesting that those games that do exactly that, like Civilization,the Sims, and Zoo Tycoon are the highest selling PC games by a long way!) means it is in much more of a precarious state. It leads to last year having the smallest number of PC games released ever, for example, and this year not being much better.
Putting Grim Fandango at 87 also shows how the media can denigrate genres whether there is a market for them or not. There are a lot of fed up gamers who want more than AD&D RPG's and Sci-Fi FPS's. If any games publisher has the guts to do something just like Grim Fandango, they may be very surprised at how big a hit it would be today! I have a lot of favorites in there, games that raised me up as a gamer. Starsiege: Tribes for sure, good times there, FEAR was a favorite, couple others. I'm getting nostalgic... we live fast and die young :D
i dont wanna build an empire.... i wanna destroy somebody elses :lol: and kill everyone who tries to stop me iv had a long hard think about this & u r right, but.....
the games u mention, i believe, are more likely to b played by the kinds of people who are not so clued up on piracy thus earning these games alot more sales.
normally i get jumped on for mentioning the 'P' word, but its what i believe I think Emperor: Battle for Dune is a great PC game and we still play it till this day. |
