Hm, I honestly, don't know how to vote, since I haven't voted for any of them as the best from their years.

I don't find any of them to be particularly at the spearhead of innovation, more of refinements to existing ideas, so I can't really pick based on that.
Also, I don't see a clear winner for most influential, so I can't use that criteria either.
I don't want to use what I'd replay the most, since that would be favouritism.
Using d10 roll to determine my vote would be silly as well.

So I guess I'm abstaining.

I do think Playstation fans are underrepresented in the poll for this decade.  Yes, this site does slant toward Nintendo games, but there are PC games in the poll above.  Oddly enough there are also OG XBox games in the poll above.  I want to say that bad luck kind of played a role in the PS2, especially, getting shut out of the poll.  FF X, GTA 3, Shadow of the Colossus, etc... all got a lot of votes, but none of them managed to pull off a win.  The best PS2 games had tough competition each year, often against other PS2 games.  And while I'm sure KOTOR is a great game, no one really believes that people on this site are biased toward XBox.  It just had easy competition in its year, while all of the best PS2 candidates had tough competition and some very narrow losses.

Anyway, I hope Playstation fans can find something in the poll that they like, even if they aren't the biggest Uncharted fans.

Not really a PS fan (I wouldn't even call myself PC fan, though I guess that's closest it comes to home computers fan) ;)

I just honestly can't pick one game from that poll and stand behind it completely (and I really like some of those games), given that I find many games that are not on that poll to be better choice for GotD. I had no problem with that in 80s and 90s GotD polls.

WoW would actually be my vote, though I personally don't care for it much.
