So where are all the games they have given 10/10 this generation.

Are they now saying they were wrong about GTA IV and MGS4 with their perfect 10 scores?

They must be if this list is to go by because in their original scoring both the games I listed above have better scores than their top 10 games of the decade as listed here.

LOL at saying uncharted owes a lot to RE4.

With the exception of "they are both TPS" I beg to differ.  It obviouls pulls from it as any game does from any game that game before it, but I don't think it owes that much.

Sure there are treasures too, but used in totally different manners.

There's very limited inventory management in the uncharted series (just your two weapons) along with regeneration health, cover mechanics, actual platforming perodically.

There are chapters, but no real break in them.  There is no shop, no money, no weapon upgrade.  Story telling like RE4 and Uncharted has been around for a longer than both games.

I would argue it owes a lot more in essence and in style to Tomb Raider than RE4.

Your kidding right haha.  Almost all third person action games nowadays stem from one product... Resident Evil 4.  Hell the whole cinematic action genre comes from it.  Resident Evil 4 was one of the most influential game going into the 7th generation.  Hell one of the ones I'm always pointing out that had influence of RE4 is that of Gears of War haha.  Cliffy B actually even stated that in a few interviews because it is pretty obvious he was a fan of the game like many others. 

People don't seem to give RE4 enough credit for how much affect it has had on the state of development in the 7th generation.  It is just astounding how many products have been influenced by it going into this current gen. 

Well you are straw manning what I'm saying.  I'm not stating that Naughty Dog just took RE4, copy and pasted it with new names and created Uncharted.  I mean the beauty of having influences is you don't copy and paste, just gets the idea flowing.  I mean as I showed with Gears of War, Cliffy B was inspired by the game on how it played and how it progressed.  Helped him make Gears of War the way he did.

It's obivous Uncharted has many influences as well, including the likes of Tomb Raider.  But it's not just the over the shoulder idea, but really the progression of the game and how a game plays out.  The whole idea of a cinematic action game.  I think if you were to ask Naughty Dog, they'd probably tell ya the same thing.  Just like Cliffy B did.  It's not taking away from Uncharted, just being respectful which I know the guys behind Naughty Dog would be. 

Laughed alot when I seen #1.

I can see the connection to Gears, and thus indirectly to Uncharted because it lends from Gears. (btw, was Resi 4 really the first big third person action game?)

 But I dont understand the cinematic argument. Werent there tons of big cinematic action games before Resi 4?

ok, my misunderstanding then :)

@Slimebeast I can name at least 2 cinematic action games before RE4, both of which are TPSs to some degree.

MGS, MGS2 ;)

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.

This thread has way to much HL2 hate. The Half Life series deserves all the accolades it gets and for my money has the best level design of any fps ever made.

You can't make everyone happy with a list like this. All 10 of those games are excellent and while not the exact list or order I would have I think overall its a good list.
