The Best PC Games @ Gamespot

Coming up with a list of the best PC games can be really difficult and for every "best" one you call out there is maybe 10 more that really should be in that spot.  Gamespot is attempting to tackle the list and has come up with quite a few.

PC gamers have always had a huge selection of titles--both old and new--to choose from, so trying to figure out which ones to dedicate your precious time to can prove to be a daunting experience. But never fear, GameSpot is here to give you some suggestions on the best PC game experiences you can play right now. Since the history of PC games is both long and varied, we've focused on some of the best games released in recent years,

I also noticed that instead of limiting the list to "the top X" they simply listed all of the popular titles with a short description.  For me I think picking the "best" games should be based on legacy and what games changed the modern landscape or influenced a generation.  If you don't do that then your list is simply the high school of games.

For instance the first Doom and Wolfenstein are good examples of games that spawned the modern FPS movement and laid the framework for every game that came after.  Sure they changed the formula but that is what makes the genre so fun. 

And, of course there are more and plenty outside of the FPS world..
