The list is terrible all right and either Skyrim or Portal 2 should be #1. Team Fortress 2 should not be in this list.

It's a terrible list? It's actually pretty good compared to some others. And why should Team Fortress 2 not be on the list? It's one of the best PC games ever made the past few years.

75 - Homeworld

This makes my heart rejoice!!

[P1nkalicious]

Overall, decent list, but some glaring omissions.

Some of the material from TFC did not come back to TF2 and a lot of game content were compromised by Valve where most of them went to Counterstrike instead (graphics and settings are the main factor). That TF2 does not look like TF2, it looks and feels like a total-conversion mod for TF2 with cartoonish graphics and insane gameplay compared to a version of Disney Pixar's The Incredibles, thus the real and original TF2 is not there.

TF2 is IMO one of the worst MP games of all time when it comes to content and the look. Sure the DLC owes up a lot of new content and fixes but they should have been on the retail disk. Now that TF2 is a free game, it's also one of the worst freeware games of all time IMO.

Skyrim is way better than Portal, it has way more things to do and a lot more action going on then in Portal.

[Neverless]

this list doesn't even make sense to me. If it's the top 100 of the year why are there 12 year old games on the list?

thats what i was wondering..

im assuming that its supposed to be
"the top 100 games of all time, revised for 2012"

[Klandri]

KOTOR deserved to be higher...

Yeah, I sense complete delusional thought here....What are you smoking? TF2 has more traffic and gameplay hours than any other Team based game out there.

Zocom7, I sure hope Gabe Newell the Valve Boss doesn't see this post of yours here =P
