That's also about where it ranks on IGN's highest-reviewed PC games of all time. It's in their top 5 for strategy games.

[Roman_Wolf]

weird list man. RTW is much better than many of the other games that were voted better than it.

[Yojimbo]

lol call of duty 4 how ridiculous is that. its an average shooter nothing more. TF2 is miles better than that. Having Rome that low is terrible.

Fallout should be much higher and having assassins creed above fallout 3 is laughable.

[Kátz]

people today.... just make the older games lower than newer ones...

[Alkarin]

this list seems to be based on popularity then actually greatness >.> and whats with having 40 games taking 1st? stupid list imo.

[Mikiez]

I think their list is about the best games of their time, not the best games right now.

[Roman_Wolf]

I think their list is about the best games of their time, not the best games right now.

then where the hell is StarCraft (was it not a great game at its time?)
and what about the Fifa games? (they are popular games worldwide)
and how come R:TW is that low in ranking?

So I'll say it again, Retarded list

[Kátz]

Starcraft is there. but it is a pretty strange and confusing list.

[Roman_Wolf]

Starcraft is there. but it is a pretty strange and confusing list.

ok now i saw it, but still it was like finding a needle in a haystack

[Valerius Tiberius]

yeah i also don't completely agree with the list.... i think they made it with like 5 people or something :s anyhow, i was glad rtw was mentioned

and whats with having 40 games taking 1st?

what do you mean? :hm:

EDIT: oooow i see, it's the spoiler, right?
