Best PC game of all time?

When reading the reviews of WoW, I noticed that Wow ranked 9 of over 7000 pc games overall.

I began to scratch my head and began to wonder... hmmmm    what could be the other eight that might have outdone WoW?

Just looking for some ideas as to what the games might be....

My vote is for WoW as the best PC game of all time....   I believe it should be number one.

Half Life series easily beats WOW .

IMO ... Half Life series one of the best P.C Games.

Your question is hard to answer, you know. Because there is different kinds of PC games (RPG, RTS, FPS,...). If you prefer RPG games, it is almost sure that your choice will be WoW or something like that. I think there is no PC games of all time, however, for a person, there is one game that he likes the most. One of my favorite games is the CoD series. But I won't say that's the best game because I didn't play all the game.

What is this guys problem?  What kind of loser has to call someone an 'idiot' simply because he happens to get a lot of enjoyment out of a game and wants to talk about it?

I personally would also put WOW in the number one slot.  I would probobly put all Blizzard games pretty far up the list.  When I think of my favorite games I also think in terms of franchises, so I might say all the warcrafts, or half-lifes. 

1.Doom - Look what it did for the genre, it brought about online deathmatching, strong single player (for its time and i still enjoy it today too) revolutionary game engine as well.

It seems as if doom isn't even respected anymore after Doom 3 came out and was publicly panned for being boring and a waste of a decent graphics engine. Just because Doom 3 'sucked' doesnt make doom any less of the revolutionary title that it is. It doesn't change the fact that it was one of the earliest FPS games ever made, not the first, but quite clearly the most important.

In my opinion, it is Neverwinter Nights 1michelle_moraes

heh even though i played the first doom back in its day and loved it and it was a revolution, but it was first with doom3 that i really feel in love with the series, so i diffently dont think doom 3 suck.

I think the best pc game(s) of all time come when they are the most evolutionary.  Games like Everquest who pretty much made MMOs popular and without it World of Warcraft wouldnt exsist.  Age of Empires is another great game it help paved the way of almost every RTS made.  Games that are very successful will end up being copied by other developers.

warcraft 2 tide of darkness ranks up there for me because other than myst, it is my first PC game and introduced me to the RTS genre. sadly i didnt even play an FPS until far cry. i was always a ps and ps2 gamer.

Any Elder Scrolls game, but HL2 that I just got easily ranks up there on the list... There probibly are other games that are better than the ES games in general. But then when you add mods to them, they become invincable forces of gameing pleasure...KorJax

Invincable forces of gameing pleasure....thats going on my sig

I disagree with everyone who says Half Life 2.


I don't think it's even better than the first Half Life. Half Life changed everything.

Black & White 1 is my fav pc game of all time

Im not into pc gaming at all but im gonna have to get another pc koz mine cant run Black & White 2 and i wanna buy it so bad. I just like Black & White games,Half Life and Unreal Tournament, Every other pc game suck

I've been gaming on the PC long enough to have seen a lot of trends and eras.  I have to say that there can be no clear winner.  I have personal favorites such as NHL Hockey 95, Silent Service II, Sea Rogue, and Eight Ball Deluxe (pinball from Amtex) that most people would never consider as the greatest game of all time.  However, having said that, there were a lot of worthy games:  Diablo series, Need For Speed series, Railroad Tycoon, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D series, TIE Fighter, Command & Conquer series, and even some newer games like Far Cry.  It's really hard to say.  As has already been suggested, there are a lot of different genres and it's a case of different strokes for different folks.

Half Life series easily beats WOW .

IMO ... Half Life series one of the best P.C Games.
