I call bull%^&* on that list. I have nothing against Team Fortress, but I don't think TF2 should be third on the list - it never struck me as that game everyone praises, that gets 10/10 in 63 reviews or whatever. I could see it in the top ten, maybe, but with Batman: Arkham Asylum and Deus Ex: Human Revolutions at 80th and 79th place respectively, and the Witcher at 33rd I'm not sure how they're judging. I mean, I could accept The Witcher and Bioshock not even making top ten, but since Dragon Age: Origins made fifth place, they're clearly not biased against story-driven RPGs. I do want to know what the heck iRacing.com is and why it's ranked higher than Arkham Asylum, Deux Ex HR, Planescape Torment, Bioshock 2, System Shock 2
and
Bastion.
In short, the list doesn't make much sense to me.

I agree with OZ. How a game like Mech Commander makes the list, but The Sims (arguably the biggest PC game for the non-gamers in the PC's history) doesn't bewilders me.
KOTOR, but
no Ultima Online, EverQuest or even Second Life. EVE, anybody?
I also note the complete lack of prequels if a later game is listed. As such, a game like SimCity 2000 gets listed, but not SimCity (as in, the original). How about Starcraft 1? Or Warcraft: Humans and Orcs? Or Diablo 1?
(Note - Mech Warrior 3 and 4 weren't anywhere near as advanced for their time compared to MW2, so I'm happy enough that MW2 supercedes MW3/4, but I don't think it is worth a place in a 'Top 100 games of all time' list.)
Edit: Oops, mixed up KOTOR with SWTOR. Point still stands.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

TF2 is actually considered one of the best shooters, ever, and is currently sitting at a 92% on metacritic

I'm pretty sure that SimCity 2000 isn't in Steam, nor is Diablo 2, Starcraft 2... Steam was advertising that some of its games made this list (i.e. topped it).
Oh, I take back what I said before about prequels. I just noticed Portal 2 on the list in 14th place. That just confirms the garbage-worthiness of this list.

So does The Sims
, which doesn't make the list at all.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

I never said the Sims wasn't worthy, I was merely rebutting OZ's comment about TF2 being a less than stellar game (note that I am indeed biased, as TF2 is my favorite game and I've sunk many hours into it).

If the games are of 2012, where is Diablo 3?
BTW, nice list, but I've never placed
Portal
also...

Planescape: Torment not in the top 50 at least? Horrible list.

It's obviously a list of most games sold in 2012
Not possible, many of those are f2p games.
It's obvious that PC gamer has no idea what they're doing.

It's obviously a list of most games sold in 2012....not a list of quality.
There's no way Super Meat Boy is a better game than Arkham Asylum.
Besides, most games are several years old.
A lot of the older games were probably boosted by the steam sales this summer.
Were that the case, everyone at Bethesda could retire (hint, they haven't ;D)
