Oh dear. Do people ever read threads anymore? It's over, guys, results are in.

Can't imagine the amount of work this took you, well done. Can't say I'm entirely surprised with the top ten, although I didn't expect Oblivion at 3.

Looking at the results, it's interesting how many PC focused games there are on that list (Valve and Bethesda games- Updates and mods, respectively).

Wow. Every popular mediocre title has been displayed with NO REGRET? No awesome underground titles or other hidden tresures?

Seems like the Escapist has an affliction for FPS, RPG. Mediocrity for ya...
Bwahahaha, underground?

What, are you one of those people who won't play a game or listen to music if more than three people have heard of it?

Actually i don't :p Underground was just an expression i used for the non-pop games.

I own most of the games listed, with exception of WoW (plus some others in the remaining 90), and it just seems way too shallow and narrowminded. I know this thread isn't trying to be suggestive, but to see Oblivion, Borderlands and Bioshock, appart from the obvious FPS titles, be listed so high as if they were praised.

And christ... the nostalgia is all over the list

Nevertheless you made your point. I guess I am a bit too naggy about it.

Oh get off your high horse. There's a reason those games are so popular, it's because they're good.
Please tell me in which way EVERY mainstream FPS is good...

One odd thing I noticed is all the top 10 are RPGs (Team fortress 2 and Half-life 2 excluded) Anyone else find that weird?
what about portal?
Oh yeah... My mistake...

But they are only really 2 basic genres in the top ten... RPG and Shooter...
(although I dunno what to call portal really... its not really an FPS is it?)
I'd call it an FPS/Puzzle

That's an extremely accurate final list... especially if you think about the Escapist as a community none of it surprises me... except BioShock 2. That one confused me.

By the way, your work here is appreciated, Cpt_Oblivious. I know going through everything, tallying and sorting must have been tedium defined.

Fallout 3 can't be 1st if you have stupidly ignored all votes for The Orange Box, divide the votes between Half-Life 2 and Portal at least.

What a waste of time.
It can be if I ignore them. Because it is.
And it's not stupid when you explicitly ask for 5 GAMES. The Orange Box is 5 games, 6 on PC - not just Half Life 2 and Portal. Add to that the other 4 games someone wants and I'd rather go for those in the interests of fairness to everything that wasn't made by Valve.

Don't like it, don't comment but don't just ***** about this.
Do it again, but when people put The Orange Box 1st, count that as votes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 and ignore the remainder - just as if they had listed 10 of their favourite games. It shouldn't take you long, you've got all the data. As to ranking of the titles in The Orange Box, go on the basis of the votes cast for them individually:

1st - Portal
2nd - Half-Life 2
3rd - Team Fortress 2

Stop being so lazy.

That is so dumb... why didn't you just ignore my complaint if you really are as lazy as you make out... Pah!

Hmmmmm... Slightly predictable results there. Good ones though.

Nice to see how PC focused the picks were, i think nearly all those top 10 games have a PC version which is considered the definaive version. I think what the top 10 is saying is that this site is very PC focused which makes a change from places like GameTrailer's which pretty much disregard PC gaming wholesale.
Ah, you noticed that too.

OT: Awesome work Oblivious, excellent top 10.

Though Fallout 2 instead of Fallout 1 in top 100 makes me rageface.

Wait, so I'm the lazy one, for trawling through 22 pages of responses, half of which clearly ignored the rules laid down in my OP - I even gave them a chance and made it work instead of lazily just ignoring them, instead of just waiting for someone else to do the hard work then just bitching about it like a spoiled little shit?

And after all that you, just you, want me to go through it all over again searching my data for entries that should've been "The Orange Box" and replacing them just for you to be happy and Fallout 3 still be at the top? It came out 20 votes above Portal, I don't think much would change.

Don't be such a self-absorbed little shit, the entire community voted and the most popular game was Fallout 3. Just because you didn't like it and don't want it to be number 1 doesn't mean anyone has to be your fucking slave and redo 6 / 7 hours work and make it "right" in your eyes.

That's not laziness on my part, if you really gave a rat's arse about where Fallout 3 came, you'd go and count the votes. You're the lazy one here.
