2K Boston Creative director and Bioshock creator Ken Levine put a favorite of the community in his <a href="/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23925525/?p ... vine">list of the top five video games of all time at MSNBC</a>:

<blockquote><i>Civilization IV, World of Warcraft, Heroes of Might and Magic 2, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Beyond Good and Evil</i></blockquote>

A little love from a celebrity of the gaming industry doesn't hurt.

Good taste, we need more people in game industry, like him.

Bioshock wasn't a bad game too, although I could never finish it...

Too bad the screenshot at that site was from HEROES 4 not from Heroes 2. Dumb mistake.

I don't know who is he exactly, but he made good choices indeed.

H2 is the best HOMM game imo too (best game ever!), though I would have chosen Civilization II over IV.

Well, nice that he likes heroes 2, if only they didn't add a pic of heroes 4

I've played 3 out of his 5, and I've played Children of the Nile, which is quite close to Civ IV.

Wow. I'm amazed that there's someone else who holds my personal #1 and #2 favorite games in such high regard (HoMM II and Zelda: A Link to the Past, respectively).

So does he like h4 or h2?

Totally agree about Civ4; it's one of the best games ever. Still think Master of Orion 2 should be up there, as well as Championship Manager.

HoMM2 was always my favorite of the series. It had that special charm that you don't see in many games today.

Now why wasn't Star Control 2 on the list??

Because it's his list, not your...

How was it? That game didn't make history in any case.

@ soupnazii & AngelEyes :

Obviously he doesn't consider those two games his favourites.

I love HoMM, and I love BioShock! Great taste indeed

@kalah

Agreed, MOO2 is one of the best PC games, ever.

@Corribus

Ever tried GalCiv2? A good alternative in the genre, with many good elements from MoO2, and some fascinating new ideas - the only game, where I could spend an hour with designing a ship.

Won't be a good idea, to create a fantasy strategy, where you can choose the equipment of your own army? Like elven archers in plate mail.

I updated the front page post with a quote about the game from The Escapist.

Woot, 2 of my favourite games on the list: Heroes and Civ. If StarCraft was there too this man would be my idol, lol.

The journalists screwed again - they put a H4 picture instead of H2
