Civilization I and IV: the 36th and 141st best games ever.

[Bobbtjoe]

On Gamer Informer, it said that civ I placed 36th, and Civ. IV placed 141st. I read this off the magazine, so no link. But what do you think, should they have been higher, or lower, or off the list completely. I feel that it is placed just fine. If someone could find a link of the list, please post here. 'till then, you'll just have to buy the mag. for yourself or take my word for it. Discuss, damnit, discuss. Gamer informer called it "one of gaming's greatest achievements".

Upon not seeing the list, I clicked on the one guy's top 11 game list. WoW at 4 makes me lose all faith in whatever list was compiled.

Where in God's Green Earth is Civilization III & II?

 

[Bobbtjoe]

On a side note, Alpha Centauri is 114

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Civ should be top 10!

It defined a genre (and is pretty early at 1991)

BTW, IGN said that Civ IV was the 3rd (IIRC) best PC game of all time.

WoW is a fantastically designed game.

WoW is not a game, it's a lifestyle.

Subjective rankings are useless.

MMOs aren't everybody's thing. Even if someone's thing is MMOs, there's plenty of reasons to dislike WoW in favour of others.

Still can't Judge a list of best computer games simply because it ranks Warcraft high. It is the biggest selling game in the world. If the list didn't have it near the top then the list would be stupid.

CivIII>CivIV

As an avid MMO player, I'll tell you WOW is nothing special, not in the least.

Not even top 10.

 

[Fetus4188]

Seeing that MOO and MoM are apparently omitted entirely I can't for a second think this list has half an iota of legitimacy.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Any best games list that omits Civ III is to be ignored.
Any best games list that includes Civ IV is to be ignored.

The "top X games" lists are usually full of crap.
This one is no exception.
