Missed the point. There was no 0000 AD. It started with 0001 AD. This means the current century didn't really start until 2001, which means the current decade doesn't end till 2010.

So why were all those people celebrating the turn of the millenium December 31 1999? I know what you mean, but this is the way it usually works. When talking decades, the 80's is 1980-1989, the 90's is 1990-1999 etc.

1 game per series.

People celebrated the millenium on January 1st, 2000 because they are idiots. Whether the masses beleive it or not does not make it true.

The millenium began in 2001, the decade does not end until 2010. Professional media shouldn't make this mistake, but sadly they do.

You are forgetting one thing -- if people believe something to be a certain way, even if it is technically incorrect, it becomes the accepted way of thinking about that particular concept.

In other words, most people group millenniums by the first number (thousands digit) on the year in AD/CE form, group centuries by the second number (hundreds digit), and group decades by the third number (tens digit).

Thus there less than a month left in the 00s (aoughts) -- so time for games of the decade list.

As for the list, I thought the top 10 showed a bias toward large, open adventures, some of which were not commercial successes and thus may not be on everyone's list.
