2K Boston Creative director and Bioshock creator Ken Levine put a favorite of the community in his list of the top five video games of all time at MSNBC:
Heroes of Might and Magic 2- "I went through a tough period a few years ago and the only thing that could take my mind off my trouble was 'Heroes.' The beautiful world, the endless variety, the direct but deep gameplay...I never thought I'd find a turn-based strategy (game) to approach 'Civ,' but Heroes was up to the challenge."

A little love from a celebrity of the gaming industry doesn't hurt. Levine's other favorites are Civilization IV, World of Warcraft, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Beyond Good and Evil.
