Do you agree with their choices? Is there any games that aren’t up there that you think should be up there? A couple that stick out in my mind are the Baldur’s Gate franchise on PC and also Fable which appeared on PC & Xbox. But through and through, it’s a very solid list that’s really hard to disagree with.
