List the greatest game ever created: by genre

[Dis]

you know the drill. I don't think it's fair to compare games such as Civiliaztion 2 to Halflife. So divide them up.

I don't enjoy many genres of computer games so my list will be fairly short. In fact, I mainly only play 2. TBS games and RPG's.

TBS: Civilization 4
RPG: Baldur's Gate 2

Action: don't play these much. Maybe Crusader: No Remorse. Would Fallout: Tactics be an action game? If so, then put that one in.

Civilisation 4 ahead of Civ 2?

[Kataphraktoi]

Best Game Ever: unreal tournament
Best Turn based: alpha centauri
Best Real Time tile based: Europa Universalis 2 (no, it just dosnt seem to fit the other categories...)

It dosnt fit into a best category, but the latest version of the nascar series by papyrus is always sweet.

IMO doesn't count as an RTS, at least as the term is commonly used. HOI-type strategy games are a far cry from C&C.

Gee, I wonder if a strategy game that occurs in real time is a real time strategy game....
I'll have to think about that one.
