Damn right it is.

Anyone who didn't play through it and its three amazing expansions to complete the epic story.. you have my pity.

That might be the best "best games of all times" list I have seen in a while.

Bioshock instead of System Shock, though? Hmmmhnmm.

I agree, it's a good list. However... Tomb Raider? Really?

I never did get around to playing that evil party like I wanted.

Though my good party was undeniably kickass at the end. My berserker had 23 strength.

Tombraider was a pretty awesome game when it came out.

Monkey Island Represent!

Can't believe it made 3rd, but considering it was asked from game devs who most assuredly grew up playing as Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate I shouldn't be too surprised.

The rest of the list is solid, why is World of Warcraft up there and not just 'Warcraft (series)'?

Haven't played Baldur's Gate though, I'll give it a run after Uncharted this weekend. Does it age well?

The first one is isometric view so can be frustrating if you're not used to it.

They're all text based with only a tiny amount of voice acting.

Wooohooo, my boys came in at number 19!

However, there isn't a single mention of old-school RPG series on there, so I call shenanigans.

(Zelda is an adventure series, not an RPG. It doesn't count I mean juggernauts like Final Fantasy)


Plus it's a bit surprising if they mention old-school PC games like Deus Ex and the Thief series isn't on there. That's just classic.

Kinda wonder how Quake didn't make it. It was the spawing point pretty much of the modern FPS and Interweb Gameing. Hell Halo isn't on there either, and Halo was to the consoles what Quake was to the PC.

Granted I would have loved to seen Mechwarrior on here, but IMHO it was only amazeing during the Mechwarrior 2 era with Activision, the newer titles are lacking to me. Still dunno how they haven't given it an MMO treatment, the Inner Sphere/Merc titles seemed tailor fit for MMO play.

Hell yeah, Quake should definitely be on this list.

I loved MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries.

It was fun to fight against the clans and be on the other side of the coin.

Madcat? It's a Timberwolf, you idiots!

At least, I think those were the two names of the same Mech.
