Best Game of all Time: Fantastic news as we take the top spot in PC Gamer’s top 100 PC games of all time (2002). After several years at number one, Half-life bows out gracefully to third place while Medieval: Total War lords it at number one, directly above Deus Ex. With two other such outstanding games sharing the podium, this is a stellar achievement and the whole team at Creative Assembly are over the moon to receive this honour.”It was the only contender.”
