Green Man Gaming's Top 50 Finale!


And so comes to a close, the top 50 games of Green Man Gaming. Arguably, there are better games out there, but as a discount site, they can only sell so much. But I think we can all agree that their list is a whole lot better than PC Gamer's top 100 games of all time list. So, here are the games included in the sale!







These games were very safe choices for the site, and are still pretty good games with lots of replayability. While I don't own a lot of them, I've still had the chance to play many of them via other methods. But, there are several games I wouldn't buy on this list just because there are usually better sales out there, and you just need to wait for them.
  • Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons To be honest, I'm not exactly sure why this is in the top 50 games. I'd imagine it be better placed on the top 30 indie games. But this game has a really good story telling system, and is a puzzle adventure game that is relatively easy. The only problem with this game is that it's really short, and really easy.
  • GTA: Vice City Well, I'm pretty sure many of you have played this game, it's an open world RPG about making money, shooting people up, running missions and stealing the best car ever. It's definitely worth its price.
  • Sid Meier's Civilization IV The main difference between this and Civ V is that Civ V is less clunky, but this game is much more complex in the tools used for conquest. Religion is much more challenging, here, and is more useful than in V. It's still a nice pick up, if you want something different from Civ 5
  • Bioshock Well, I've never actually finished a Bioshock game... Bioshock one freaked me out a little too much, but I'm told that it's a fascinating post apocalyptic game. However, I'm told that it's better to just wait for the Bioshock bundles to come out, because they usually include all three games, and it's rather cheap.
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Be wary that this is just the base game. It's an interesting open world RPG, but just wait for GOTY edition or Deluxe. 
  • Portal 2 Okay, now this game is probably the only one I'd pick up on this list, just because there usually aren't any better deals for this game. Whenever I think about Portal, it's a perfect game. The physics engine, the game play, the puzzles, and the characters are all pretty much too perfect. Now Portal 2 is not perfect at all, it's better than that. It's imperfect, because every single part of the game is so human, it's just one of those games that leaves a lasting impression on you. Definitely worth a play through, and a pick up for this price.
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is GOTY edition, but it doesn't include all of the DLC that deluxe edition would, so you should just wait for the deluxe edition sale (unless you don't want to wait... I think that's fine haha.)
  • The Orange Box is a bundle that includes Portal,Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1-2, and Team Fortress 2. If you buy this, you get more than what you payed for the Half-Life 2 alone. Half Life 2 is a pretty neat sci-fi FPS game that pretty much everyone has played. There's lots of hype behind this game, but primarily it's about fighting aliens and waiting for Half Life 3.
Anyways, those were the games contained in the top 50 games of GMG. Hope you enjoyed this set of games!
