Gaming 30 PC Games to Play Before You Die

Great list!

Why is PC gaming awesome? 50% mods-50% time

Mods = community support : more expected of devs
Time = more time for devs : more time expected of players

 

nice list...for me ego shooters (half life and quake) and for the brakes bubble bobble

 

Where is Wolf 3D and Duke 3D love at?

 

omg you forgot Master of Orion 2!

 

I love that Serious Sam is on that list, so much. Probably the most fun I have ever had playing a game

 

DEAR LORD THE BOOBIES!

 

fallout 1/2 anyone? or arena, dune 2, duke nukem 3d, doom, larry, and others?

 

I loved that game.. we actually had a clan setup for the ogl a couple times- we quit because on the one hit saber cheese bind.. hitting a key and doing that roundhouse saber move that was unblockable.. and they never bothered to patch.. but man I loved the darkside- chocking out a guy behind a doorway.. epic =]

 

wheres the game there

 

only one racing game in a list of 30.

given its my favourite genre, i don't agree, but then i'm not an "average" gamer, because i don't spend my entire life playing FPS.

 

Hell , yeah!
But if you need to elect one rpg game to be th best ever rpg (top dow, iso view)...
Let us see...
Ultima series
fallout 1 and 2
baldur's gate 1 and 2
PS: torment
Nethack
Neverwinter nights
Temple of elemental evil
...
All great games! Torment has by far the best story and ambient.. But summing all up, i guess Ultima 7: The black gate and Ultima 7: The serpent isle were the best ever rpgs created! Even considering FPS RPGs. And the gran finale in ultima 9 for the series was just fantastic!
Long live Richard Garriot!

 

I've played a good 20 or so of those... So I guess my gaming tastes are pretty good.

 

Tetris!!!!

I can't believe nobody remembered Tetris. I played it on my first pc (xt - 640 kb memory - 30 mb hard drive) for endless hours.

Wing Commander!!!!!

The best NPC ever (Maniac, without a doubt)

Watch and Leeearn!

 

Arse. I should have added Psychonauts to this list too on virtue of it's invention and character design.

"Are you the...milkman?"

 

I agree with the other people that have said it: StarCraft was, in my opinion, the defining RTS game. It's immensely popular (was to a greater extent than is) and was amazing for its time.

Also, I think you missed Unreal Tournament (never can remember how to refer to it) and Team Fortress 2.

 

Racing games tend to be on consoles, not PCs. That's from my experience anyway, since I can name quite a few console ones (Mario Kart, F-Zero, Gran Turismo, GRID for example) and the only PC one I know is Trackmania.

I can't believe you didn't include ...insert game here... you included games like ...insert least favorite game here... but not my favorite game.

You know, there is a point when crude humor can go a little too far. I was reading and enjoying this article until I ran across this line:

And that just pissed me off. Not that anyone really cares, but I personally found that to be offensive seeing as I am a (and have many friends that are) furry gamer. That's like saying "Who wants to play GTA4; just look at all those black people [in the storyline]!" Or something like "Who posts at FORUMS anymore, are those losers still in the 90's?" There is nothing wrong with furries, nor anyone of a specific race or ethnicity, or people who use forums or newsgroups. The article, however, does have a problem. Think about what you are saying, and whom might read it (and take offense to it), before you look like an ass on the internet.
