Woohoo 1 vote for Blade of Darkness!

Can't believe that it was actually included in the poll as it definitely went under the radar.

But, I guess I shouldn't be surprised seeing as how it really is the Best Computer Game ever made.

Yeah, I thought BOD was great. I played through 3 times with the Barbarian, Dwarf, and Amazon. How many other games allow you to lop off all of your opponents' limbs?
 
Wow, what a huge POLL. Kudos!

I chose Unreal. It had everything a game should have: fun epic story, graphics, great indoor levels and outdoor levels, varied environments, beings you care about, and an excellent score. It's the most engrossing game I've ever played. And I did so 5 years after it's release. And that is a great achievement.

I think this whole Half-life 2 is just a big trend. Maybe I should have voted for Half-life 2 as well - for my health.
 
I sense an obvious anti-Mech bias here! 😛

Fortunately, there's one I like even better than any of the Mechwarrior series, and it's in the poll 😀 *votes*

I just finished Return to Na Pali a few months ago. I must say among its FPS contemporaries Unreal's visuals have aged most gracefully (even by today's standards it acquits itself fairly well).

Some imageries from Unreal which remain classics of the genre imo:
[*]Stumbling out of the hellish confines of your wrecked ship and seeing the sunlit vistas of the alien planet for the first time
[*]The lava-filled caverns of the tarydium crystal mines
[*]The water-filled chambers with their Aztec-like architecture
[*]The mercury-like blob creatures in the ship ISV-Kran
[*]Getting to the summit of the Sunspire (backed by that inspiring soundtrack) and arriving at the cloud city (this game has the best-looking skies ever)
[*]In the Skaarj mothership after you cut the power and have to retread the previous levels in eerily-lit darkness (backed by yet another superb soundtrack) whilst getting stalked by invisible Skaarj

Starcraft! *clap clap clap* starcraft *clap clap clap*

There is no better game out there! Multiplayer/Singleplayer, starcraft is the best.
 
Personally I started FPS with quake 3 arena and SOF. Quake 3 Arena has my vote, the best multiplayer FPS I've ever played.

So my rating would be

Q3A
SOF
TombRaider 2
Caeser 3
Fifa World Cup 98 (what a revolution this game was for soccer games)
