Bayonetta is a ten. One of the best games of this generation.

Can't believe Uncharted 2 or 3 didn't get a 10! Incredible games!

But overall that seems like a great list other than GTA IV and Bayonetta. They aren't a 10/10 in my opinion. Great games but just not 10/10

GTA 4? HALF LIFE 2? THE ORANGE BOX? HALO 3? FUCKING ROCK BAND 3? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
Not to be a dick but this list is a joke. Honestly. The games I just listed above are among the most overrated I've ever played. Hell, The Orange Box isn't even a game. It's 3 games, HALF LIFE 2 BEING ONE OF THEM I MIGHT ADD.
I don't know how to feel about this list. I might sound like a condescending jerk but can you expect me to take a list that has Halo 3 as one of the greatest games on it? The greatest games of the last twenty years? Here's mine.

Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Earthbound, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, TLOZ: Ocarina of Time, TLOZ: Majora's Mask, TLOZ: Wind Waker, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, GTA: San Andreas, Batman Arkham City, Kingdom Hearts 2, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Uncharted 2, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, Rayman Origins.

Boom.

Half-Life 2 is one of the greatest FPS games ever made, like it or not.

The Orange Box includes Portal, TF2, HL2, HL2: Episode One and HL2: Episode Two. That package fully deserves the 10. Pretty much the greatest gaming package ever conceived.

I don't know. To me it was one big "meh" experience. I do respect what it did for the genre, but in my opinion, it's overrated.

And I only enjoyed Portal in The Orange Box. But again, I respect TF2 and HL2 for what they did for the FPS genre.

I don't agree with the orange box being included as a game in anything. It's a collection of games. The collection Deserves a 10, for a collection, compared to say MGS collection which omits things. But I wouldn't say MGS collection is better than MGS1! or something like that MGS1 isn't the same thing.

Otherwise the list is decent enough, I'd include like 2 or 3 of them in the top 10, but ask anyone and they're not going to list the 10 same games.
