#3: 'Sid Meier's Civilization'
Released: 1991. Developer: MicroProse Software. Publisher: MicroProse Software.
Few games are as addictively fun and as endlessly replayable as 'Civilization,' a turn-based historical strategy game that invites players to guide the development of a civilization over the course of millennia.
In creating 'Civilization,' Sid Meier somehow distilled, condensed and codified the rules of humanity's post-agricultural development into a 3MB IBM PC computer game that was a treat to play. For that achievement, many critics (including me) recognize Sid Meier as one of history's greatest software designers and rank 'Civilization' high among the world's greatest computer games."

Released: Dec. 10, 1993. Developer: Id Software. Publisher: Id Software.
The release of 'Doom' was a watershed moment not only for PC gaming, but for video gaming in general. Id's archetypical first-person shooter triggered a sea change in a PC game industry previously dominated by plodding strategy turn-fests, brainy simulations and stilted PC action titles. In contrast, the first of a new generation of fast-paced, smooth action games, Doom changed the rules, pushing PC hardware to its limits. With 'Doom,' PC gamers could experience gameplay, graphics and sound that were clearly superior to anything available on home game consoles of the day.
''Doom' defined the 3-D-shooter genre and made multiplayer gaming mainstream,' says Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games and creator of the Unreal Engine technology). 'And it did them with such incredible polish, artistry and foresight that it created an industry.'"

#1: 'World of Warcraft'
Released: Nov. 23, 2004. Developer: Blizzard Entertainment. Publisher: Vivendi Universal.
If you resist the notion that 'World of Warcraft' (commonly abbreviated 'WOW') is one of the most amazing PC game ever, take a peek at this chart compiled by MMOGChart.com. 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 game design is breathtaking: Its art direction is top-notch; its living, breathing world is immense, detailed and varied; its musical score is awe-inspiring (hear WOW music for yourself); and its balance and learning curve are ideal, drawing players ever deeper into a world that 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 Microsoft 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?
MMOs with far fewer players still chug along after 10 years"
