Half Life 2 for the first place= I can agree with that
No Metroid Prime in the list= Blasphemy!
Uncharted 2 =doesn't deserve to be on the list

Why not? It got a lot of critical acclaim.

How can they judge the importance of a game in a decade when it's only been out for 2 months? and beside that I don't agree with all the critical acclaim it has got. It's a game with gorgeus graphics and presentation but beside that it hasn't got anything that I haven't seen in other games before and it's also too repetitive in my opinion. Lots of games deserve a lot more to be on that list, -there isn't even Resident Evil4- I even preferred Jak2 also made by naughty dog instead

Well, they are not judging importance, they can obvously say if they think its a better game than the rest of the games just after they play it, doesnt have to have anything new if its well executed to be better than other games, and its IGNs list so they can give the order they want, after all I dont consider any game on their lists(except maybe wii sports) to be a bad game.

An unoriginal game may be a good game but after I played gears of war 1, gears2, uncharted1 another carbon copy game it's starting to get boring while when I've played Resident Evil 4 for example it was a totally new and mind blowing experience. They are reviewers not famboys they should be objective when they make this statements, not just following their personal tastes at the moment they have written the article. Giving such high-scores to games like uncharted2 and CODMW2 legitimate developers for not trying to innovate their games, look at what's happening to Dead Space 2 for example, EA has already told it will be more like uncharted and modern warfare.Whith this trend, in a few years there will be only carbon copy action games and FPSs.

You cant make an objective "best of the decade" list, the closer you can get is this, they think Uncharted 2 is better than RE4 thats why they decided to put it in the list.

And what legitimates developers to not innovate in their games is people, not reviewers, and I doubt one would bitch after playing a great quality game even if its not very original, and, its not like Uncharted 2 was a carbon copy of other games. if EA wants to make Dead Space similar to U2 or MW then they have to assume they will compete with these games too and all others that try to copy them, thing is, everytime something is succesful with a formula then others will follow, its nothing new.
