This is war.  Operation Flashpoint is a 3D soldier simulation giving you a genuine glimpse into the life - usually short - of a groundpounder.  Patrols, engagements and retreats are a regular, nerve twanging experiance.  If you want to feel part of a war somewhere, then you need this game.

#1 GTA VC

#2 Deus EX

#3 M:TW

#4 KOTOR

#5 Thief Deadly shadows

#6 COD

#7 Battlefield 1942

#8 Planetscape Torment

#9 Halo

#10 BG2

#11 HL

#12 System Shock

#13 Rise of nations

#14 Planetside

#15 Prince of persia: The sands of time

#16 IL2-Sturmovik

#17 Day of the Tenticle

#18 Warcraft 3

#19 UT 2004

#20 Far Cry

#21 Max Payne 2

#22 Operation Flashpoint

etc..

etc.. (sorry, my wrists hurt)

Not bad for a game that is usually ignored outside the community and looking at the games which didn't make the top 22.

edit to clarify that this is the UK version of PCGamer

It went on 7th place in Swedish PCG. We got better taste.

In PcZone magazine, ofp is #1 in the simulation category

[Pathy 0]

#8 Planetscape Torment

Planescape: Torment

As for the positioning of just about everything:

Not even worth the trouble of correcting it, it's PC Gamer.

Medaevil Total War?

[The Real Armstrong 0]

The most shocking I think is that they put GTA VC on top. WTF?

Thief: DS is a great game

OK, what the hell is this game? It sounds like a lowball Japanese hentai game, not something that belongs on a list of the 100 Best Games.

Indeed, I played that game once, psshh.

Deus Ex is a great game, DX2 is kinda, nuked by ION Storm.

Btw what is KOTOR?

A adventure game by Sierra I think, quite funny

Edit/ Not Sierra but LucasArts, I always switch those two developers.

[VerySolidSnake 0]

it's funny because to this day i still show off OFP to friends, even after they've played Doom3 and whatnot, and they are continually impressed. I swear BIS owes me i've sold so many copies

[Pathy 0]

m21man, you never played "day of the tentactle"?

You missed out on one of lifes great experiences.....it was one of those great Lucas Arts (i think) point and click adventure games, like the Indiana Jones and monkey island series......those games were fantastic, full of dark humour

Edit: Speaking of which, where is Monkey Island? It was better than Day of the Tentacle......

KOTOR = Knights of the old Republic (star wars)

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Btw what is KOTOR?  

Knights of the Old Republic a Star Wars RPG made by Bioware. It has a really fantastic story line and very engaging characters, I recomend you try it if you like RPGs or Star Wars in any way.

I don't agree with GTA: VC being the best game ver, not by a long shot.

In my opinion Illusion's Mafia should be coming up very close to the top.

same as in the PC gamer

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

Sorry, even if OFP made it to 22nd... this list realy sucks. It neither corresponds to sales figures nor to popularity polls in my country.

Prince of Persiŕ? Are you mad?

CIV3? Where is that

Mafia? Still an awesome game!

I think they mean Top 100 games on their list, not the countries.

CIV3 = Civilisation 3(EDIT: Oi! Thought you said What is that). Quite good. Maybe I'm going mainstream but what the hell is half-life doing down there??

Sorry, but in my opinion, thats what makes it better than most lists. If the list went by sales figures or popularity polls, do you know what would be the best game ever?

THE.

SIMS.

Just because a bunch of idiots but 'pop' games does not make them good. Just because lots of neds and other tools like pop music, does not make it technically good.

GTA and Deus Ex over KOTOR and COD somebodys hittin the pipe hard

That would be you; GTA and deus ex are definitely better than that steaming pile of shite known as COD.

[SpecOp9 0]

I'm very pleased to see Operation Flashpoint in that list. Shows how much of a true accomplishment this game was.
