The top 25 best PC games of the modern era
August 12th, 2011
IGN has posted what they believe to be the best 25 PC games "from more recent times."
Overall, I'd say the list does a competent job in highlighting the best the platform has had to offer over the last decade.
All the usually suspects are there: Fallout 3, Counter-Strike, Civilization. Recent favorites like League of Legends and Witcher 2 also make the list, and it even includes a game I missed: The Longest Journey (pictured).
Interestingly, World of Warcraft is no where to be found. Not that it should be there, but in terms of time spent playing, maybe it should. Nvmd, it's on there.
Unsurprisingly, Half-Life 2 takes the top spot. "Nothing draws you in like Half-Life 2," writes author Charles Onyett. "No other game on PC is so polished, well-paced and memorable. No game is this good at making you feel like a hero. If you can only play one PC game, make sure it's Half-Life 2."
What do you think of the list?

For a minute there I thought they had omitted StarCraft II from that list, but then I realized that the next button does indeed skip some of the numbers. Much more satisfied with that list now. :)

It's really hard to create a list of the top X many games, probably because lots and lots of games are good, but you can't just leave out some of the best games that were game changing for all of the other games out now just so you can add Team Fortress 2, Witcher 2 and Shogun 2.
Anything worth having is worth working hard for.

Diablo II actually was on that list. Number 21. It's just that the next button doesn't work right for whatever reason, and skipped it.

I've only played half of them so I can't really say much otherwise about the list, but I think they've done a pretty good job with this one.
