A man can NEVER have too many lists! Getting There
   November 25th, 2009 clock image 12:00 pm

SchindlersList

I gotta admit, I love a good list.  Anything from top 10 cars to top 100 babes always gets the old argumentative juices flowing.  When it comes to games lists, the arguments become even more vociferous because gamers’ tastes are so incredibly varied.  That’s the thing about gaming lists. They are so unique and individualized that even Siamese twins would have different top 10 choices!

You can check out BraveNewGamer for their opinion on what the top 20 "must play" games are, but if you want to see a correct version, here they are (in no particular order) :

  • Star Control II
  • Grim Fandango
  • Starcraft
  • Half-Life 1
  • Portal
  • No One Lives Forever
  • Baldur’s Gate
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • Civilization
  • Grand Theft Auto 3

Yes, I know that there are only 10 games on this list, but I think that gives each one a more hallowed aura.  Lots of games are top 20 fodder, but to get into the top 10 you have to be memorable, revolutionary and captivating.  I reckon the top 10 above all fall into this bracket, but its always cool to see what other gamers lists look like…

  • Lupus

    Well not MGS for me, it was a decent game but top 10 hmmm no. Civilization yes, Star Control II definitely, but Day of the Tentacle isn’t on there? Any of the original Sierra guys either..

  • Bucket

    My list

    StarCraft, WoW, CoD4 MP, Portal, Carmageddon, Bioshock, Red Alert, Mass Effect, Uncharted 2

  • ewie

    What no Elite ? ,the original space sims RPG of all time.

    Just kidding Star controll II is by far the best in that category ever, and not to include at least one Lucasart
    adventure game a shame.

    Haven’t played a few on there but the one i did belong there.

    • bboy

      Lol, Elite… man I played alot of that game. I played with a friend, I flew and he control weapons shooting etc… can’t say he did very much other than holding down the space bar when an enemy was in the sights, but man! what a great time that was!

      (SC2 was superb)

    • Hiro

      @Ewie : Actually, Grim Fandango IS my Lucas Arts entry in this top 10 list :-)

      • EWIE

        My bad, missed it , was after the time of monkey island, day of tenticle, atlantis loom.

  • bboy

    Star Control II 100% in agreement.

  • Shadow

    Good list!
    Top 10 is a bit restrictive because there have been so many gems. The early generation Sierra games were both entertaining and a great way to learn to type :)

  • Termin8r

    All i can say is THE CAKE IS A LIE!

  • Termin8r

    What about good ol’ Duke! “Time to kick a$$ and chew some bubblegum, and I’m all out of gum” – CLASSIC!!

    Quake
    Doom
