Operation Flashpoint should have had a much better ranking.

As should KSP, but then I guess KSP is still considered (loosely) as a Beta .

Operation Flashpoint should have hsd a much better ranking. I agree 91st is an insult, especially considering RO2 Rising Storm is at 30th. I've never understood the fascination with Team Fortress 2 either.

Not my choice at all but then everyone would produce a completely different result.
There are only 2 games in the top 50 that I have put any serious time into and that's BF3 and Doom.You would have to point a gun to my head to make me play any of the others,especially the top 10,with the possible exception of XCOM.
EV's are the Devils matchbox.

Surprising that TIE Fighter isn't there... Or Knights of the Old Republic, for that matter. I think I'll load up TIE Fighter again... would be interesting to try it with the FSSB R3. Plan to use UJR to merge that, my Warthog throttle, and the Saitek combat pedals (which TF doesn't use, but XWA does).

Not one flight-sim on the list. :-( ROF was #47 in 2012. They don't have one simmer on staff so they don't even bother any more. That is how far we are out in the woods as simmers, even though it was the sim generation that put PC games on the map. We're outcasts...rebels...the dregs of the gaming world. I also didn't see an X-Wing or Tie Fighter game or a Mechwarrior game. Maybe I missed them.
Oh well....

Yeah Jason...Flight Sims are THE reason I bought my first windows computer (EAW and F4). Have only owned and played THREE on the list. Eve, COH and Alpha Centauri...and really only saw a couple I'd think about in a firesale. Ah well.....

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Most of the PC Gamer contributors who voted on this list probably weren't even born yet when the great games of the 90s missing from this list were out, for them an old classic is probably Angry Birds.

I see my favorite game on the number one spot so thumbs up. Although, I played it on 360. ME3 should not be in top 10. I miss the Rainbow Sixes though.

Yeah Jason...Flight Sims are THE reason I bought my first windows pcr: Ditto. Unfortunately the first sim I installed was CFS3 Between this thread and the Discovery channels one, it's a bit depressing here today.

I was expecting Starcraft there and other classics. At least Grim Fandango and Alpha Centauri made it.
Still a bit suspicious though if it is some sort of native advertising because of the many recent games on the top 10. Not sure if they placed real classics just to cover up their actual intent: go buy these recent games!
BTW where's pacman? lode runner? no point placing them there because they're abandonware?
