Half-life 2 deserved it, it revolutionized the FPS and story telling abilities when it launched in 2004. Add Counter-Strike: Source to that and you have the best online FPS experienced created until COD. No other game changed the industry as much as Half-Life 2 did back in 2004, hence game of the decade.
Of course all these console kiddies didn't play the port until 2007, so they wouldn't know or understand what I am talking about.
Don't compare to console games from 2007+, it officially launched in 2004 and development began in 1998. No game touched its quality from 2000 - 2007, at least arguably.
