[kamhagh]

[SoumyaHD]

Ok, I love all the games except the last one

 

[kawatwo]

No Unreal Tournament? How is this possible? Other than that a fine list.

 

[smeezekitty]

Guys, it is a list of the most POPULAR games not the best.

UT is the most popular + best game

 

[Jgriff]

So much bad taste. Wow

 

[rawoysters]

How legitimate is your survey when you are STILL not counting online sales? It's 2014!

 

[Bozzz]

On what basis have they made this article . If it is on the basis of no. of copies sold. Then they must include gta 5 which sold around 32.5 million copies and what about call of duty.

First of all, GTA V is on console only (for now), so a grand total of 0 have been sold for pc. Secondly, CoD is WAY more popular on console than it is on pc.

So much bad taste. Wow

I love it , I played it on 2004

 

[spookyman]

I think we are missing a few titles to this list. Tie Fighter, original Doom, Civization, Pirates, Secret of Monkey Island and even some of the Sierra Titles

 

[LORD_ORION]

Thexder should be on the list, it sold an impressive amount for the late 80s.

I've only played Doom 3, Crysis, Far Cry, and Star Craft. As for Tomb Raider, Portal, Red Alert and Age of Empires, I only played other versions of these games. The rest of the 100+ games that I completed aren't on the list. I mean, how is it that Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Need For Speed, and Pro Evolution Soccer aren't on the list?

 

[youssef 2010]

Also Call of Duty and Medal of Honor. Don't know how I forgot those

 

[SoumyaHD]

God makes us amazing...........

In my opinion they should have replaced Anno 1503 and Cossacks with Grand Theft Auto and League of legends. Maybe Farcry shouldn't be on there either; I think Unreal Tournament would be better.Considering no real free games were on there (although minecraft was free for a time) that might be a constraint in including LoL, although there's not much reason to deny free games from this list in my opinion.

Where's Quake III?!

I have played quake.

 

[AngryCorgi]

BF1942 was the best BF installment. Back before they patched the bejesus out of it to remove the fun/humerous exploits. It was a haven of internet asshattery like no other.

 

[jurisc]

miss Starcraft 2. Great that you mentioned Cossaks

 

[Calculatron]

Does this mean a partner article will come out, with a reverse theme? "Greatest games no one played." Games like Planescape: Torment.

Freelancer ... I still play it because I am old and pathetic.Personally I loved Unreal II the awakening too - for a shootemup ... because It had a great story line.
