Surely the list isn't in sorted order? Starcraft (#21) >> Resident Evil 4 (#14)

Lol, Gears of War above Deus Ex and Starcraft. Resident Evil 4, Halo and Final Fantasy above Half-Life?

Looks like these guys have never played a single PC game, ever, and just slapped these in to make it look like they did (failing in the process).

I'm glad Goldeneye made it on there. But why not Mario 64 instead of the latest one? That game was revolutionary. I disagree with some of the choices on there, but ah well; No list will satisfy everyone.

Agree, there is no such thing as a legitimate one of these lists, games are viewed differently by everyone, there can never be an accurate list.

I can agree to the fact that some of these belong in the top25. On the topic of tetris, who has not played tetris, who has not suffered the agony of a mis placed block ruining your whole strategy, who has not found a crappy old computer somewhere with the cool russia edition?
