Honestly, you must be trolling? There is only one decent game IMO, Oblivion, and I still hate it!

Even though it's All Time Best Game results, here is a list from finnish gaming/computer forum which attracted quite a few voters for the poll. I can agree with the results.

Here's the results.
[list]
[*] 1. Fallout 2[/*:m]
[*] 2. Half-Life[/*:m]
[*] 3. Diablo II[/*:m]
[*] 4. Half-Life 2[/*:m]
[*] 5. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn[/*:m]
[*] 6. Super Mario Bros. 3[/*:m]
[*] 7. Counter-Strike[/*:m]
[*] 8. World of Warcraft [/*:m]
[*] 9. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[/*:m]
[*] 10. Deus Ex[/*:m]
[*] 11. UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense[/*:m]
[*] 12. Final Fantasy VII [/*:m]
[*] 13. Doom [/*:m]
[*] 14. Fallout 3[/*:m]
[*] 15. Command & Conquer: Red Alert [/*:m]
[*] 16. Metal Gear Solid[/*:m]
[*] 17. Sid Meier's Civilization IV[/*:m]
[*] 18. Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven[/*:m]
[*] 19. Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia[/*:m]
[*] 20. Quake [/*:m][/list:u]

I want to highlight year 2000, since great CRPG games like Diablo II, Baldur's Gate II and Deus Ex were launched at that year.

I know I couldn't attempt to give my Top Ten without spending an absurd amount of time thinking of/evaluating everything I've played, so I'm not going to try. I've played and enjoyed many of the titles mentioned, but I'll add one I don't think I've seen yet:

BF1942 (actually the Desert Combat Mod)

In terms of multiplayer game time DC is certainly in my top 3 for most hours logged. I still have vivid memories of awesome moments in that game.

Also, just to be a nit-pick and throw off everyone's list, decades should be measured from year xxx1 to year xx10. There is no year zero, so the first decade was 1-10. Incidentally, the year 2000 was the last year of the second millennium, not the first year of the 3rd millennium, so all those 12-31-1999 uber-parties were for nothing. :mrgreen:

Glad to see someone else argues for that :cheers

We're coming up to an end of a decade in a few months!

70s, 1971 - 1980
80s, 1981 - 1990
90s, 1991 - 2000

Hmm, I see a flaw somewhere in that.

What a twerp post.

Decade = 90s = 90-99
Millenium = 2000 = 1000-1999

The twerp-i-ness though is founded on some small bit of "knowledge" that you have applied incorrectly. A century is defined discounting the 0. So the 21st century is from 2001 to 2100. This is probably where you are picking up this weirdness from.

So does that mean the first Gregorian decade had only nine years?

I found this cool site which is all about game lists like so.

Here's my list:
http://www.unikgamer.com/members/dafox-429.html

Creating a 25 greatest games of all time list is frakking hard!

http://www.unikgamer.com/tops/top-games-of-the-2000s-4th-decade-13.html
http://www.unikgamer.com/tops/greatest-video-games-of-all-time-1.html

Your votes then get added with others on the master game list. There is a definite lack of PC games rated right now, maybe we can help turn that around ;)
