IGN.com has put together a nice video, ordering the best games, th at have been shown

at the recent E3 game convention.

They are ordered in categories like “best shooter game”, “best action game” and so on.

My personal favorite is, of course, Modern Warfare 2.

Update (June 7, 2009): Infinity Ward has released a brand new Modern Warfare 2 gameplay video at the E3 2009 game conference.

Activision has provided us all with the pleasure of seeing 10 seconds of in-game footage from it’s upcoming 6-th game from the Call of Duty series, named Modern Warfare 2 (after Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare [1] and Call of Duty 5: World at War).

However, I personally didn’t liked Modern Warfare and let’s just say that Modern Warfare 2 looks so much like Modern Warfare, if you know what I mean.

Nielsen Wire has calculated the average time PC gamers spend on each computer game and ordered them in their annual most-played list. Here is the list of the most played PC games in 2008:

1. World of Warcraft – It is no surprise that the game that is played by the whole world and is backed by the company (Blizzard) that earns more monthly profit, than the yearly budget of a small country in Africa, still tops the rankings.
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Although another sequel has been released after Modern Warfare – Call of Duty: World at War – it seems that the fourth and not the fifth part from the Call of Duty series is on the top 10 most played games list.
3. Halo: Combat Evolved – This is legend, no need to speak anything for it.
4. The Sims – It is not unexpected seeing this game in the top list, mainly because of the innovative “gameplay” and social elements it involves.
5. The Sims 2 – Combining the play times for the two parts from the Sims series will make the entry reach number 2 in this top list, but since both games are two separate, they are listed as separate entries, but this doesn’t hide the fact that they are two of the games that meet masses of gamers from all around the globe and brings them together.
6. RuneScape – I never heard of this game, but it seems it’s quite popular in the online gaming community, mainly because of the fact that it’s Java based, meaning that it is played through the browser and doesn’t need anything to be downloaded (which makes it a good game to play at work or school during the breaks for example). Considering the fact that at

   the time of this writing the RuneScape Site has over 150,000 active players online, it well makes it way to the sixth place in the top list.

7. Diablo 2 – This is another legendary game that is remembered by almost all the old-school gamers.
8. Team Fortress 2 – This is just fun to play. Building machinery and using different soldier classes perfects the experience even more, making Team Fortress 2 a worthy entry in the list of Nielsen Wire.
9. Counter Strike – I can’t imagine the time when CS will be forgotten and not played anymore. I remember the time when I didn’t had a PC at home and a I was spending a good chunk of my childish day in the local computer club, being addicted to this unimaginably addicting, team-based, first-person-shooter by Valve.

10. Counter Strike: Source – Adding realistic graphics and physics to the above surely makes the fans of the original Counter Strike come see the improvements.

It seems that games that have successfully claimed the title of “legends” are still here – Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft, as well as Halo. I can’t wait to see how will the chart for the most played PC games in 2009

will look like.
