So if people remember this thread from last year, it appears PC Gamer is doing the same thing again: online votes for the top 100 games of all time. Don't remember how Starcraft did last year, but I'd say we need to put on a show that TL still owns the internet.
It's pretty much the same deal as last time. The URL is the same (http://www.pcgamertop100.com). Registration is the same, with no confirmation required or whatever, and voting is basically the same.
As a side note, I've got to say that the Editorial Top 100 is a pretty dumb list, even by games journalist standards. Never mind top game, Starcraft isn't even the top RTS. 23rd place? Behind Rome: Total War? Genre bias is also pretty obvious when the top 20 has 8 shooters and 8 RPGs (I dunno who came up with these genres, but Counter-Strike Source is very clearly a shooter and NOT an adventure game lol).
My top 10:
1. Starcraft
2. Baldur's Gate II
3. Half-Life (including Counter-Strike)
4. Alpha Centauri
5. Planescape: Torment
6. Civilization II
7. Fallout I/II
8. Deus Ex
9. X-Com UFO Defense
10. Warcraft II

LOL @ CS:S being an adventure game.

as long as WoW isn't #1 i won't care

I like your top 10, great great games, not the kind you throw away after having completed them after8 hours.
|
My votes were:
1. Starcraft
2. Civilization 2
3. Transport Tycoon
4. Grim Fandango
5. The Longest Journey
Note: I don't do shooters. Actually I don't play very much at all, so if you disagree, that might be why.

I don't know if it was last year, but I know Starcraft has done well on this list in the past. It was in the top 10 (along with diablo 1). I don't remember what year this was though.

Impressed they put X-Com (aka UFO: Enemy Unknown) at #11 ;o
My list wasn't super thought through but:
SC
UFO: Enemy Uknown
Star Control 2
Deus Ex
Warcraft 2
I kinda wish I could have voted for some point-n-click adventure game as well, but forgot about it ; [ Like Beneath a Steel Sky or Secret of Monkey Island, or Grim Fandango.
I think more objectively, games like Quake 3 and WC3 should probably be up there somewhere but meh.

Wow, really hard to narrow it down to 5. Would have been much easier to make a top ten.
My votes:
1. Diablo 2
2. Starcraft
3. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
4. Half Life 2
5. Mass Effect
CBNC:
6. Half Life
7. Homeworld
8. Civilization IV
9. Portal
10. Mirror's Edge
Note: I voted SC as #1 and D2 as #2 since the whole point of this was to prove that TL owns the internet o.0, but I gotta admit that I loved D2 just slightly more.
Edit: Wait a minute, Baldur's Gate 2 was on that list? FUCK, missed it. 
Should've been placed either at #5 or #6 for me.

urgh PC Gamer, I wrote to the UK version in Dec 98 to complain about their review of Broodwar, they published my letter but I never bought the magazine again!
|
Me:
1. Starcraft
2. Counter Strike
3. Call of Duty 2
4. Counter Strike Source
5. Warcraft III
I voted for the games I enjoyed the most, maybe not the best. Single player games are fun but nothing beats multiplayer imo.

1. Starcraft
2. Frontier (Elite 2)
3. Colonization
4. Monkey Island 2
5. Baldur's Gate
There are some newer games that are better, I'm sure, but I enjoyed these a lot when they were new.

In no particular order:
Starcraft
Diablo 1,2
Baldur's Gate 1,2
Civ 3,4
Deus Ex
Fallout 1,2

These really should be broken up by franchise having games like Half-life and half-life 2 competing against each other is pretty ridiculous.
