I bought Skyrim and got bored of it after about 10 hours game play. Actually I was bored after 1 but I kept going hoping it would get better. I haven't been into a single player RPG since the good old days. A lot of the games on this list are too new for me to have played, but I do play MMO's and it is nice to see them get a nod and an appearance in the top 10. World of Warcraft is one of the best games ever put out in any genre, Blizzard did such an amazing job with the game. And continues to even after nearly 10 years. That is impressive.

However, the fact that DAoC isn't even in the top 100 is a joke. EQ was a great game, it did for MMO PvE what a lot of those 90's SNES RPG's did for the genre. But, DAoC did the same for MMO PvP. You had a game that was entirely based on Realm vs. Realm with small but very well done PvE content to compliment it. And it was a very successful game, for a longer period of time than EQ. It really set the bar high when it came to MMO PvP and did what no MMO had been able to do yet. I guess I could make the same argument for Asherons Call.

I am very happy with the number 1 selection, can't argue with that at all. Damn, now which of these games should I go back and play? So many choices..
