How come metal gear and silent hill aren't preceded by "(series)"? Or do they mean the first installments? (I dont think so)
Game Devs Vote Baldur's Gate Best Game of All Time

Somethings a miss 
By which, I of course meant actually made for, not ported to. And I'd bet a shiny nickel that when they voted for Call of Duty, they weren't referring to the one they once played for five minutes while on the toilet. :-/zombie711 said:
Are you f****** shitting me? Bioshock and Dead Space made the list, and not System Shock 2? DEAD SPACE? BETTER THAN SYSTEM SHOCK 2?
Oh, hahah, I get it, the whole list is a joke, it's obvious now. I mean, Modern Warfare on a list of all-time best games? Hahahahah...

I'm personally incredibly happy with this list.
I was a little surprised that Baldur's Gate is top, although when I considered the fact it takes a certain personality type to want to be a games developer it made more sense.
Very surprised that Dead Space is there, as well as Tomb Raider being mentioned as a series. No denying that Tomb Raider should be there, but Metal Gear is singled out and not part of the series it begs the question of how exactly these votes are spread.

Surprised that Planescape: Torment isn't up there as well. But as the Mighty Minsc said "Magic is impressive but now Minsc leads,SWORDS FOR EVERYONE!!" Not sure what that has to do with the rest of the sentence but it was bloody awesome every time he said something. It'd always be a hammy speech about justice and ass kicking for justice
The results are in and all is as it should be...
(And then try the Icewind Dale series, for more dungeon crawly goodness!)
At the risk of sounding like a rabid fanboy, you're doing yourself a great disservice by keeping away from the Baldur's Gate saga. Seriously. Grab BG 1 & 2 with the expansions, maybe look into the Tutu mod so you can play BG1 with BG2's engine, and treat yourself to hours and hours of one of the best RPGs you can play.Sewer Rat said:

Dead Space and Tomb Raider? Seriously? Portal, Half-Life, and Fallout don't make the list, but they do? Yup, broken list is broken. Simple as that. Also:
Actually, I compare them to King's Quest, which was always more fun, in that particularly frustrating kind of way, than Monkey Island. But maybe that's just me.Abedeus said:
This list leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's not exactly bad, but the more I look at it, the more I dislike it.
I see MW, Dead Space, Devil May Cry, and EverQuest, but no Resident Evil, (if not the series than just 4) Metroid, (series) Half-Life, (series) or any representation from Valve whatsoever?

I would advice that, for the sake of clarity, you change the title of your article. From what I understand, what they were asked wasn't which games they thought were THE BEST, but which were their favourites.
Quite a bit of difference there.
EDIT: Also, by a certain mustached plumber you are referring to Mario? Wouldn't he be covered by the Super Mario series?
