[Adagio]

But I wonder when he actually plans to update the list?

[Skanky Burns]

No comments until you have voted, Spikie.
List update will occur when I get time. Soonish. It will happen however.

[Bkeela]

01: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
02: Master of Orion II
03: Civilization III
04: The Sims II
05: Halo
06: Doom
07: Fallout
08: Jet Set Radio Future
09: Ikaruga

Sentimental favourites which I cannot play anymore because I played them to death, or they are now too primitive:

Black & White
Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness
Sid Meier's Civilization
Sid Meier's Colonization

???

what no Sims

[DrSpike]

Well if Skanky had made it a top 5000 games poll then maybe.

[Skanky Burns]

Now there would be a fun poll to compile.

[ravagon]

Just think of the number of posts one could notch up while doing so ...

Gamespot (apparently) ranks everything they review - about 15k games in all. No idea how to get to the list but Vampire : Bloodlines comes in at #30.

[DrSpike]

Doesn't sound right as they didn't give Bloodlines a high mark.

Dungeon Keeper is original, but it gets repetitive after awhile. Shogun: Total War becomes boring once you figure out how to win every battle, at least all of your offensive operations.

[DrSpike]

True of some of your games too.
