Game devs' favourite is Baldur's Gate

A 1000 developers have voted Baldur's Gate as their favourite all-time game, the World Gaming Executives network has announced.

BioWare's seminal RPG beat the Diablo series (second) and the Curse of Monkey Island series (third) to the crown.

Shadow of the Colossus (fourth)
the Mass Effect series (fifth)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (sixth)
StarCraft (seventh)
The Legend of Zelda (eighth)
EverQuest (ninth)
Devil May Cry (10th)

From 11 to 20, the list read:

Tomb Raider series (11th)
BioShock (12th)
Metal Gear Solid (13th)
World of Warcraft (14th)
Deus Ex (15th)
Super Mario series (16th)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (17th)
Silent Hill (18th)
Assassin's Creed (19th)
Deadspace (20th).

Presumably more than one of those entries refers to a series of games.

The World Gaming Executives network polled its members to produce a top 20 all-time favourites list for its debut issue of the WGE magazine, which is out now and free to read.

The World Gaming Executives network has been around for four years, apparently, and comprises some 30,000 members.

We had a glimpse at the member directory and managed to pick out only Secret World maker Funcom and Alan Wake maker Remedy as household names. Nevertheless, UK dev/pub associations UKIE and Tiga were both present.

Are you on about Drizzt Du'Urden

Never played this myself. Was it a pc game

Yep Andy, I have them all from BG to Netherwinter nights 2...hmm I might have to install them and replay

Strange that not one GTA game made the top 20 but Dead Space did????

Silent Hill is in there but not Resident Evil???

Never played BG though so can't comment but then if Shaun likes it then chances are I won't

Based on what Andrew?? The way you and Craig go on, on here really doesnt qualify you to make such statements

Ah but Andy wears skirts so is a lady:)

He should lay off the pies then as it is muddling with his figure

Is that your way of covertly telling me he's cheating with Big Pies

You are doing it the wrong way round Andy, arent you supposed to diet before you get married and then let yourself go afterwards?

nah, need to lighten up before the snowkite season so i can get bigger and longer jumps
