One of the greatest PC games ever made Posted: December 22nd, 2009, 2:21 pm
"PC game of the millenium" says Gaming Empire Magazine.
"Truly Fantastic" says the United Gaming Organization (UGO).
"Any PC gamer's dream" says Gamespeck.com.
"10/10" says Bill Gates.

This is a true masterpiece of a game, developed and published by none other than the brilliant Microsoft Game Studios. The game is an incredibly complex one - it is set in 2004, and you play as a US soldier in Afghanistan, named George Thomas Anderson, or 'Georgie' as the other members of his regiment call him. Omar Hazim, the militant general in your province, has sent a small but highly trained isurgent militia to set mines along the dusty Afghanistani roads that will explode if they arrive in contact with any US trucks, tanks or soldiers. It is your job to find and eradicate these mines, on a highly dangerous mission - one wrong move and you're dead. The visually stunning graphics combined with the interesting gameplay make for a thrilling PC game, and a game that deserves to be installed on every PC in existance.

PEGI: 18+

Compatible with Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

Please leave, hater. You clearly have no respect for great games.

You're probably the same guy who says 'MGS4 is a boring movie not a game' in the PS3 sub forum, and 'super mario galaxy sucks' in the Wii one, and 'Halo 3 is for potheads' in the 360 one...

Exactly!
Haters, Let em' hate.
Never in a game have I been so engaged, and immersed in the atmosphere that Minesweeper has. The graphics are really out of this world. The gameplay is top notch and the replay value makes you craving for more. The suspense that you get when you try to uncover where all the mines are at keeps you on your toes. If you have not played this game, get your ass off and go play it now. Definitely 1# the killer app for the PC.

I'm surprised this forum hasn't given Minesweeper its due sooner! It truly is the best PC game- no! The best game of any console of all time.

It actually does have an ESRB rating? Interesting.

Minesweeper is actually really addicting once you got the hang of it. Sure, all it does is waste your time, but I sometimes play it while listening to music.

Seen it already, it's brilliant.

"It's never the first one."
"What happens if the clock reaches 999?" - "Nothing, you just suck."
"I'm here because I'm bored." - "Don't you ever forget that."

You can now play Minesweeper on Games for Windows Live.

Simply login on Windows Live Messenger, find an online friend, click on games in the top-right corner and play a tense and breathtaking head-to-head deathmatch of Minesweeper.

Why would I buy a game that I used to always play for free? And there's a campaign!?!?!?!!?

It still is free... The campaign is the single player mode installed by default on your PC, the multiplayer is the mode built in to Windows Live Messenger....

Such a great story, not to mention the in depth character backrounds and what-not.
