Best PC Games of All Time


This gets harder every year. Each year new games are released, old favourites are replayed, obscure indies capture our hearts, and games that people once knew are updated until they’re unrecognisable. We’re fickle, argumentative individuals love with the most dynamic gaming platform on earth, and we’re only allowed to pick 100 games?

It ought to be the top 1,000, the very best 10,000, to fit each and every game we all love. But it’s not. Around the games change, our task continues to be same. Boil down decades of sims and shooters, roleplaying games and real-time strategies, in to the top 100. The best games on PC. The ones that you must play, now.

Our international team of writers were inspired to put forth their ten favourite games, so as. Those individual lists were then collated, a mega-list was formed, and every contributor was challenged to protect their love. Disagree using their choices? Look out for the beginning of laptop computer Gamer Readers’ Top 100 soon on the website. You’ll soon know the pain of getting to choose. Until then: that Grand Theft Auto IV, eh? Exactly what a game.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Graham: I can’t stand Grand Theft Auto’s cruel, dull missions, and so i used to be reliant on its buggy multiplayer basically wanted to have fun messing around in Liberty City. Because of a persistent modding community turning the sport into a giant toybox, that’s no longer true. Now, after i visit the city, it’s packed with cars that may travel at infinite speed, and I’m a superman who has a gravity gun. That the the easy way enjoy this game has changed a lot two years after its release is the best example of why PC gaming is excellent.

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45

Quake 3 re-imagined by Remarque or Solzhenitsyn. An ecstasy of brutal fumbling, wild SMG fire, and cold, calculating elimination. What’s to not like?

Football Manager 2011

Craig: Training? Pah! My tactics? Wild and confusing. I’m much more of a hands-on kind of manager, providing people with calming talks, asking for their advice, before you take my team on a long, unbeaten run in Europe. I’ve no clue about football anymore, but you will find enough switches to flick to ensure that doesn’t matter.

Rich: After years of playing it safe and managing having a steady hand, I decided to visit full-on mental in FM2011. I started insulting and praising players within the same breath, I changed my assistant manager’s registered name to ‘Wiggles’, and that i brought in half of the Slovakian national team. All ended up being good decisions, and all explain why I really like managing footballs.

The Last Express


Richard: It’s the eve of The first world war, and Robert Cath is up to his ears in murder and intrigue around the Orient Express. Arguably Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner’s magnum opus, it’s probably the most atmospheric games ever made, notable because of its use of real-time action and incredible focus on detail.
