#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"
