It didn't manage to make IGN's top 100 though.

Interestingly enough, the best PC game of all time is apparently Civilization II.

Wha?! No C&C95 on that list?!? Well, I guess they had everything else I wanted at least..

I'd have to say Far Cry..  Best graphics, and Very good AI (not as good as FEAR..)

...And a host of negatives to go along with all the positives. 'Best of all time' refers to titles that have truly made a mark on the gaming scene, meaning a game that was truly, orgasmically awesome, or a game that changed the direction of all titles afterwards. Far Cry, while a bloody good game, is not worthy of a 'best of all time' title...

I'm disappointed Tiberium Dawn didn't make the list, but most of the games I thought truly exceptional were there anyway, ie. Ocarina of Time...

StarCraft, for example, truly deserves the title.

Shenmue
Tekken 3
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past
Mario Kart

I can't claim they're the best of all time as I've not got around to playing every game in existence but I have severely fond memories of the aforementioned titles. :)

Good to see Thief and SS2 in there. But where are Deus Ex, C&C, Lemmings and maybe most importantly Doom? These are really glaring omissions as far I am concerned. And how did Wipeout XL make it in there? It was a pretty decent game, but hardly what I would call "greatest of all time." The newer Rollcage and Ballistics were far better games of a similar style.

Didn't Wolfenstein 3D change the direction of games as the early FPS it is? It wasn't that great though.. *shrugs*

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one the best I've ever played.  This series rocks, and this one is by far the best.

I prefer Super Castlevania, mainly for nostalga. And that boss sequence before Dracula. That was cool.

I'm surprised Freespace made it onto the list tho.

Halo 2! Better than awesome cinematics (god i love the xbox), dual-weilding weapons, beating the living **** out of the enemies and hijacking their vehicles... :D (Although the levels tend to be drug out too much in that game :nervous: )

Oh, and Dragonball Z Budokai: Tenkaichi, with its fully 3D worlds, fully 3D fights, fully destructable environments, you know the whole story. ;)

I remember the SNES DBZ gams with their split screens. That was good. Probably **** now like
