MSN’s Top 10 PC Games Ever

MSN UK has conjured up their own list of the ten best PC games ever released, though at least this time the author appears to have played a video game prior to 1995. Notable mentions include one of my favorite BBS doors (Trade Wars 2002), Rogue, and World of Warcraft.

WoW currently boasts 11.5 million subscribers worldwide – at its peak, 8.5 million more subscribers than the second most popular paid massively multiplayer online (MMO) game.

The consistency, imagination and epic reach of WoW’s design is breathtaking: Its art direction is top-notch; its living, breathing world is immense, detailed and varied; its musical score is awe-inspiring; and its balance and learning curve are ideal, drawing players ever deeper into a world they may find hard to leave.

Most notably, WoW’s simple and powerful user interface is an elegant work of unsurpassed genius, envied and copied by designers of games both online and off. Even Windows could learn a thing or two from Blizzard’s user interface. That’s heavy praise – but don’t you think that the greatest PC game of all time deserves it?
