Bright Hub writes: "Gamers will argue their personal favorite games of all time until they're blue in the face. Everyone has an opinion and, while many of the same games will enter the conversation, it's rare to find a pair of people who can agree completely with one another's personal picks.
This is why, instead of simply throwing together a list of our personal favorite PC games, we went for the best source for industry consensus, Metacritic. For those who aren't familiar with it, Metacritic compiles game, movie, TV, and music review from all over the industry and amalgamates them into a single rating. Thus, we achieve an ultimate top 10, based on the opinions of the entire industry, rather than a single person.
Our top 10 list is based on these Metacritic ratings."
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Half-Life 3 may not be too far away from release, as the game suspected to be the third entry in the series has entered the optimization phase.
That one episode of Billy & Mandy where the very fabric of reality was destroyed when Mandy smiled. That's what'll happen when Valve finally counts to 3.
Is this kinda like when it was supposed to be at the 2024 TGAs?
Half-Life 2 art director and Dishonored designer Viktor Antonov has died aged just 52.
One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.
Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor
Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.
And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.
So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3
What? The Witcher gets no love? :(
Where the MotherF is Deus Ex???
You really do have to wonder about the "quality" of some of these articles. I mean for a starters if you are going to have a top 10 of PC games don't include 3 console ports, it would also help if you didn't have two slots used up for Half Life 2 and Orange Box.
It also seems such a shame the list only caters for modern games. I am surprised there is no X wing in there. But then lets face it the PC has such a rich diverse history it is an impossible task picking just "ten" games. I think it would be a struggle to pick out 100 best games on the PC out of the many thousands that have been released over the years.
About the 10th "Top 10 PC Games" article and i have seen this week and they are all different, was suprised that Deus Ex didnt even get a mention in this one when it was #1 in most of the others.
There are about 10 years of history that this article completely ignores. History filled with ground-breaking, landmark titles that shaped today's gaming industry. They also blew three slots on Valve titles, and paid lip service to a trio of console ports.
This article is garbage.
