Some of you are totally not objective rofl

That's because choosing a list of the best games of the decade, which is based on opinion, is supposed to be completely subjective.  You can not have an objective "Top ten games of the decade", it's a complete impossibility.

Mr. Twizzler, your head is on quite straight

I know that but what I mean with objective is what the majority of people would say.

For instance, there's no freaking way that Dead Space: Extraction is GOTY 2009 rofl

Being more objective, one would say either NSMBWii, Uncharted 2 or Modern Warfare 2.

Now that would be more objective.

Conforming to the subjective opinions of the majority is not "objective", it's just getting rid of the responsibility of having to form your own opinions. It's still subjective, it's just also lazy.

The OP didn't ask for YOUR top 10 games of the decade. He asked for the top 10 games of the decade.

That means that we have to look at what the majority of people would say.

The word objective has no signification otherwise.

The word "objective" has no significance here. It's that simple.

And yes, the OP asks what you think.

Deferring to the opinions of the majority is not objective.



mmm dont know about the years but:
-Shadow of the Colossus
-Ico
-MGS4
- Civilization 4
- FFX

And there are others that I like but wouldnt dare to call them best of the decade.
