I went back and replayed it. Cranked up the graphics to full...

Definitely not an open and shut case, and everyone is going to have their own opinion.

I agree with your list, but would add Tribes 2 to the list, as well as some of the mods for HL (Counter-Strike, Teamfortress, and even Left 4 Dead) — I am, however, biased towards Valve as they've never done me wrong. And make games…

Honestly, if you think Half Life 2 is THE greatest PC game of all time, I would imagine you don't have much PC gaming under your belt.

Also seems they focused on one potential market - home users. How awesome would it be if your local gym had a room of these where you could do a 1 hour deathmatch or CTF for your daily workout?

Yeah, because its last chance was what, in the 90s? When 3D consisted of flat shaded squares and triangles, and those VR arcade sets cost over $450k?

You got it backwards. You can't use the treadmill without the Oculus Rift.

WTF are you talking about?

hahaha another console moron who thinks you need 2 grand to have a pc that playes everything. hahahahaha you make me sad with your strawman argument.

Gaming machines aren't that expensive. Also 5 years down the line when you upgrade to the next gen console and they tell you 'sorry, none of your old games work on the new console', pc games just get better and better with newer equipment. Still not sure why we don't get rid of consoles completely and just do pc's. …

While it's easiest to say "Oh, Project CARS looks better, especially inside the car", that's missing the point. That game is running on a modern PC. Gran Turismo 6 is running on hardware released in 2006.

Heroic 22-Year-Old Video Gamer Rescues Octogenarian from Mobile Home Fire [LAist, h/t Michael G]

From FOX:
The irresponsible behavior exhibited by a young man who's tarnished brain robbed him of all common sense shown today is appalling. The subject showed ignorance of danger, while simultaneously disrespecting the elderly by forcing him out of his house.

This just in. 22 year old Gamer starts fire in 87 year olds home and abducts him as some sick experiment.

YES! I agree, and not just because I'm a busy father with less time for games (although that does factor in). I've actually taken to googling how long a game takes to beat if I'm on the fence about playing it.

Quake Live and CS 1.6 needs to be on there.

QL that is based off a 10 year old game, Quake 3 Arena, and plenty of people still play it...same with CS 1.6. Doesn't that say something about those games?

Woah, steady on there, you mean "best games released in the current console generation timeframe" right?

Decent list, but obviously not everyone will agree. What are your guys' top 12 PC titles?

"Anymore" ? You talk like there have been better games that pushes the genre forward. Just this year AAA fps games started to return to HL2 tactics to be called good again.
