Greatest Computer Games of All Time

[Mongoose19]

Heroes of Might and Magic III. This is as good as it gets.

[Bahzell]

Just referring to computer games and not video games in general

As been mentioned earlier and in the OP in this case 'computer' games refer to pretty much all electronic games, so console games very much counts.

Planescape: Torment

[Ordeath]

For me I think it would have to be (in rough order)

Star Control 2
Fallout 1/2
Mass Effect trilogy
Deus Ex (original and HR, IW was meh)
X-Com (I want to put Terror from the Deep on here too but... I still have nightmares about how painful it got towards the end)
Total Annihilation
Baldur's Gate
Dragon Age: Origins
The various incarnations of Civilization (and Colonization) with emphasis on 1,3 and 5, and honorable mention to CivNet
Master of Orion 1/2
Master of Magic

[Senathor]

World of Warcraft, Ratchet & Clank, FIFA & Skyrim I guess.

[Shaderas]

Planescape: Torment
Dragon Age: Origins
Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal
Halflife/Halflife 2
Fallout 1/Fallout 2
Fallout: New Vegas
CounterStrike
Call of Duty Modern Warfare
Diablo (the first one)
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
Starcraft
Monkey Islands (all of them)
Mass Effect (first one only)

Personally I'm disapointed that Portal didn't get higher then it is.

We'll you could never make a list that suits all. A good try trough.

Problem with listes is that they are based on nostalgic useally. What was good once, maybe lack nowdays.

I much more preffer listest of 10 year's period (2000-2010 etc), or best games of X year

[Deleted]

My favorite game of all time must be: Planetside (1).

Other games that I also liked alot is (in no particular order):
SWTOR, World of Warcraft, TERA, Dark Age of Camelot, Heroes of Might and Magic II & III, Ultima IV, World of Tanks, Planetside 2, Diablo II LoD and Total Annihilation.

We'll you could never make a list that suits all.

Indeed. There's always some "Why isn't x there?" or "Why is y on the list?"

Problem with listes is that they are based on nostalgic useally. What was good once, maybe lack nowdays.

I think that was a big issue with the CNN/Times list, but I don't think it's very valid for this one. But that's just me.

[halleyk314]

Ultima is way down on that list. I thought it was more popular

[Daedius]

Not a single Point and Click game in that list - Lucas Arts and Sierra created a number of QUALITY games, like Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones, The Dig, Full Throttle, King's / Police / Space Quest series, Quest for Glory series, etc. ... !!

[Jewster925]

I must say that I am shocked that people even voted Diablo III onto the list. Let alone to give it #19 in the top 100 computer games of all time. That is just so wrong... so terribly wrong. Especially that Goldeneye 64, which was ranked #27, is MUCH better and I guarantee it provided several more hours of actual entertainment than Diablo III.

Also... Chrono Trigger being rated worse than Diablo III. COME ON!!!
