There is no "best", nor can there be.
Not only don't you supply any criteria to use in defining "best" that can be scientifically measured, you don't know all games out there so can't even apply those criteria to every game in existence in order to see how well it matches them.

I played Mirror`s Edge recently on a laptop and I really liked it. I can`t say a really play games...I think the proper word is "test" them, because I get bored very quickly. I usually end up quiting after 10 minutes...but I played Mirror`s Edge for about 3 hours

One way to define "best" is through sales. The game that sales the most copies must obviously be the best. If it was a lousy game than very few people would buy it.
By looking at the shelves at the WalMart store where I work I would think PC games are not very popular any more. There are a lot more games for WII and XBox.
IMHP "Diablo LOD" was the best game in its time. Don't play games any more so I can't comment on current games.

I am actually going back and playing Far Cry (the original on my pc) again. The graphics suck but the gameplay is fantastic. All the levels have multiple ways to solve and I get to use grenade launchers, sniper rifles, and bazookas.

Pokemon Gold. Sadly, the internal game-cartridge battery died and I'm to lazy to replace it.
Unless we're talking strictly desktop x86 games here. Which it also runs on if you have the ROM and an emulator.

I assumed we were talking Desktop Computer Games.
Other than a mouse and keyboard, what's the difference anymore?If not, then there is only one answer, and that answer is Final Fantasy VII :)
I've been looking for that game for awhile. Had a chance to pick it up along time ago cheap, but had no cash and now they're hard to find or more cash than I carry. Sort of how I want to see how the Golden Sun story continues, but the second part is hard to find or as much as $114 for a mint copy(not like there's any point to a mint edition).

Space Hulk (on old old Windows). Likewise Monkey Island 2. I loved the original Prince of Persia. I lost interest after about 1995. Oh, I liked Quake too.

Not really. That would indicate the best marketing department, not necessarilly the best product :)
