It"s that time of year where leading game sites start publishing their "best of the year" game lists, and IGN has posted their "Best of 2008" PC Games. It was quite a list, and it was definitely a fantastic year for PC gaming as a whole.
"Contrary to popular perception, the PC isn"t dying. The PC remains in far more homes than all the consoles combined.
