Greatest most groundbreaking PC game of all time, without a doubt: Doom And yes, I know Wolfenstein 3D was first (by same developers) but wasn't even close to how good Doom was. The developers of Wolfenstein 3D held back on Wolfensten and formed their own company to make Doom immediately after because they saw the potential. Here is what Doom popularized if not outright invented: 1) First Person Shooters (and texture mapping). At one time every FPS was called a "Doom Clone" just like many MMOs are called "WoW-clones" today 2) Online multiplayer. There were news stories almost weekly of business LANs being overrun by the geek admins running Doom deathmatch when they shouldnt have been 3) Mods. Their WAD files spurred a whole bunch of downloadable mods to the game. My favorite was the Simpsons mod 4) Shareware. For Doom they didn't even sell in stores originally. They gave away 1/3 of the game for free on the internet, and people had to send them a check to get the full game. Now tell me THAT isn't influencing gaming... GW2 "built from the ground up with microtransactions in mind" |

As far as old school pc game: Lands of Lore (w/ patrick stewart as the king, not the new dubbed crap).
All time though would have to be an mmo cause consoles just kick butt for a majority of titles.
Toss up between my first love, Ultima Online or my 2nd, World of Warcraft (was there 2 months after release of vanilla all the way through Cata...on n off) |

Homeworld with out a doubt. I loved Homeworld 2, but I think I like Homeworld 1 more. No space RTS has gotten it right since. It's sad really.

I dunno, there are so many. One of my favorites that are sadly almost unknown to most people is "Natural selection". |

Originally posted by Loke666 NS was fun.. but the population has died out alot.. i wasnt overly impressed with them going B2P for NS2 but i guess it made sense to them.. given the mass work they put in to it, still dont see how a source "mod" can really charge for it when source is "free". DoD 3.1, CS and NS are my fav HL 1 mods.. shame about the source versions... more so on DOD..... CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU 860 2.8GHz < |

hard question OP..... If i have to value the games i´ve played for the fun/inmersion i have experienced in them (no sub time considered) my top 3 would be.... 1. Guild Wars. FTP... always available for me!! and BEST PvP i have never experienced in a MMo. 2. WoW. That was long ago...true...but i had the Bests moments in gaming there! 3. Mass Effect 2: Epic from head to toe! 4: RIFT: I kwnow...it has its limits...but the company behind (TRION) reminds me a lot of the ArenaNet point of view.... A company fighting like i have never seen before...all for the sake of players paying their subscription! /Clap for them! 5: Skyrim: Too complex & deep that i have not even touched what it can offer.... but when i play it...i feel involved. Game is superb. pure awesome. freedom....art.
PD:I have all time favourites like : Grim Fandango..... KOTOR.....Black & White....but that is another story...... |

From games I've played, I'd say storywise, Half Life 2. But I also loved Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands. The most played however, would be WoW. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

My favorite PC game would have to be Pharoah, I always loved building cities :) Next to that would be the Broken Sword series :) |

Quest for Glory I Single player sandbox RPG, great humor, great character customization, no levels, skills improved by using them, different creatures came out at night, multiple paths of solving gameplay obstacles, awesome music. Oh, and it came out in 1989. |
