First and foremost, you should have linked to the list so I can check for myself.
As to my opinions on top 100 games:
Blizzard's only games that would deserve to be in that list are IMHO D1 and SC vanilla. BW and HF are fun expansions, but IMO don't truly count as "games" in their own right. D2 and WC3 are fun for a lark but not top 100 material.
Other contenders in top 100 for me would be Zork, Rogue, Wing Commander 1 and 3, Doom, Doom II, Quake, Half-Life, Civilization I, SimCity, Master of Orion II, Dungeon Keeper I, Final Fantasies 1, 4(j), 7, and 9 (if we're counting consoles - you didn't mention - but 7 has a PC port and 1 and 4 can be found on rom); Myst, Fallout I, Baldur's Gate I, Black & White (mostly for sheer concept elegance), and maybe a few others I've missed. All of those I mentioned, pluis D1 and SC, would be in the top 40 of the top 100, easily, if I made the list.
Don't feel bad though. I lost a lot of faith in a magazine I liked, once, because they posted a "top 100 books" list which I really disagreed with (though they had the sense to include Dune and LotR).
