Well Torment repeatedly enters most of the "best games of all time lists", which at the very least means it has earned a place in most critics/gamers memories. That;s a start.
As does Doom, Half Life, BG, KoTOR, Quake, Mario, MGS and Halo. Besides game journalists are paid.
GoG users seem to disagree - although, again, they are more likely to be biased in favor of the game than, say, a Halo kiddy.
Again that's a fraction of the gaming community. I voted for SS2.
