PC Keepers

Brilliant, but flawed, game in which I tend to play dumb character who collect cans.

Deus Ex manages to wave its hands around in such a dramatic fashion that you're largely diverted away from the fact that you're playing a largely linear game.

Best. Taunts. Ever. And the developers deserve insane amounts of credit for trying something very risky with the combat system.

Do I really need to justify this game's presence on this list? No, I didn't think so.

Relied on some familiar cliches, tried some new things. Voice acting all over the map. It's a keeper because it allowed some choices that didn't fall along the good/evil scale.

How many hours of my life have I spent dueling in blade arenas? Too many, perhaps.

Visceral 3rd person fun.

The mastery of this game is still untouched by its successors.

I still yearn for "more Thief" in my video games.

Without question, my favorite CRPG of all time.

The game to which all other sandbox games will be compared. Sorry Rockstar, Origin got there first... and better.
