Hi, sorry for posting this twice, I originally posted this as a Blog, but I got requests of posting this in the general forum. I guess it should've gone here in the first place anyway.
Pc gamer is voting the top 100 games. Now this one might be hard, but can we win that vote?
Here is the link: http://www.pcgamertop100.com/index.php
When you register there, which takes no e-mail confirmation whatsoever, you can vote for your top 10 games.
Here is my list, if the game has sequels I chose the best out of the series:
This was so hard to choose after the top 5. Honorable mentions: -Zak McKracken (couldnt vote it WTF?) -Half-Life -Medieval 2: Total War -Civilisation -The Secret of Monkey Island
Getting Starcraft onto place one would be an epic win.

I have to register, it won't happen, sorry.

Just spam it with 'asdf' . No email confirmation or anything like that.

Hmm that site broke my computer, maybe I'll try later on a different one. I probably haven't played 10 different computer games though T_T

#1 -- Never post a direct link to the site you want us to vote for; people will click it and the refererrer URL (www.teamliquid.net) will make it obvious that we are pwning them: backfire.
#2 -- Nobody wants to register just to vote. That's asking too much!

Since this is quite a big vote, there will be tons of sites linking to it, so some referrals from teamliquid.net won't make much of a difference. You don't have to vote obviously if you dont want to, but registration is short and doesn't require you to do more than fill 5 fields.

ok i ended up voting, im not sure why, i felt bad about not doing it
and I have to say, looking back, it was a hassle
ok i had this typed out but voting for this stupid thing is so fucking difficult that even though I registered I am not going to vote, what the hell this site is annoying
yes im a flip-flopper stfu

Don't you just drag titles in the order you want them? Mine froze when I got to that part but it seemed pretty simple at least.

+ Show Spoiler +My Votes
1. Starcraft 2. Guild Wars 3. Team Fortress 2 4. Half-Life 2 5. Portal 6. System Shock 2 7. X-Wing vs TIE Fighter 8. Psychonauts 9. Worms (series) 10. Grim Fandango
This was pretty hard for me, a lot of PC games fit into top 10. So I made the list 4 times before I decided to limit it to one per genre, but after only filling in 7 (two because they were in the wrong genre and I said fuck it) I had to break that rule and add a couple more of the same genre games. I might have voted a 2nd RTS game but after I played Starcraft no other RTS game has been able to impress me. Darwinia was pretty cool for a while but it feels more like an action game when I'm taking control of my individual squads and telling them exactly where to shoot. Warcraft 3 doesn't qualify as an RTS to me, maybe if Blizzard called it an RPG or rather didn't label it anything I would be more forgiving, matter of fact I wish they wouldn't have taken an RTS approach with the game considering the elements that make it up take it far away from the RTS world. X-wing vs Tie fighter is on there as a space shooter game, the only one I felt comfortable with voting due to my lack of knowledge of others and the fact I enjoyed it more than others.

Voted.
asdf@asdf.asdf FTW.  When you fill in a fake email you dont need to worry about clicking all "plz send me spam" boxes. They are welcome to send spam to that email. 
How can we monitor our progress?? I can only see the "popular the last 24 hours" thingy... sc is on 9:th place on that list for the record.

I don't feel my list was very far cause there's a lot of classic games I haven't even played (ie I've never played half life, I've played CS like 3 times in my life..).
And I also feel like there's some games that I'd put in my top 10 that wasn't there (but right now I can't think of which :D)..
So I think I made it something like:
1 SC 2 Star Control (star control 2 specifically, so, so, sooooo very good) 3 UFO: Enemy Unknown 4Alien Swarm (best co-op game of all time) 5 Secret of Monkey Island (even though I never finished this game, I got really far then I accidently deleted all my saves and was like fuuuuuuuuuck then went back to playing SC I think). Ahh I remember playing this as a little kid (man the game is only 1 year younger than me), could never figure out how to get past the dogs :/ I gave them the meat, they ate it. I gave them cooked meat, they ate it. + Show Spoiler +having to find a random flower in the woods didn't really occur to me 
6. Deus Ex 7. Bioshock 8. Final Fantasy VII 9. Rayman (series) 10. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Never even finished FF7 but I loved the music. I don't have the patience for RPGs these days (mostly) so maybe I never will.. Rayman series I only ever played one game of but I liked it. Jedi Knight, well, I liked it and I was running out of games. I felt like putting Gears of War in there since I just finished it but as fun as it was.. the story is hardly, you know, revolutionary ;p?
EDIT: Oh snap, grim fandango was in the list? I didn't find it. It's (again) a game I never completed (because when I tried to play it again it was just extremely buggy once I got to CD 2 and I kinda gave up maybe it's cause of XP or my disc was scratched or something) but suuuuch a stylish game. Awesome awesome voices

It's also hard to say if SC deserves "greatest game of all time". I mean, it's MY favorite game, and it's certainly the most, hm.. succesful in terms of transcending the "game" label, but viewed as a game-game, like entertainment/movie type deal then maybe not. I dunno I sort of consider SC almost more of a sport but maybe this isn't fair to SC the game :p
This made no sense did it ?

Games I wish I could fit in:
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Duke Nukem 3D Descent Escape Velocity (NOT ON THE LIST) Myth (great RTS, I wish I could redo my list I would put that in there if I could) Bioshock (note: I technically already have it on the list)
Games that belong but I would never vote for: Garry's Mod (technically not a game, its still really cool though) Final Fantasy VII (I know this is a PC game, I even have it for PC, but it belongs on a console list)

Voted... at first i can't find CS but it is online FPS.
