Wow, not only is SotC top of the list but VC manage to make the top 10 and didn't even scrap the bottom of the barrel! With the exception of Mother 3 and Portal (I have never played either), every single game on the top list has my 2 thumbs up.

I might have disagree with a few postions but all are top quality and would have been right up there in term of top picks for me.

@ yog-sothot

Planescape was released on X-mas 1999 so technically it doesn't make it (even though its only by a few days, its my no#1 top game of all time :)

Baldur's Gate 2 should have made the list though.... (First one is once again too old).

Of course there's bound to be minor things I'll disagree with, but any list that puts SotC at 1st and Portal at 4th is bound to get at least some agreement from my part

Good list

Well they choose Galaxy and since only 1 game for every series can make the list, thats' probably why 2D Mario got the shaft. All of the genre defining 2D Marios came during the NES/SNES era and when evaluating technical excellence and gaming innovation, they obviously felt that Galaxy had more to offer than any 2D Mario (Lets be honest, 2D Mario hasn't and will probably never change much from it's original concept)

I can agree with most of that.

SotC is the best game of the decade? That's funny.

Mother 3 should be #1!!! But I really like this list :P the fact that it actually mentions Mother 3 is awesome! The best RPG I've played this decade easily.

I guess it really depends on their definition of one series....

You're reading my second statement wrong, I'm just pointing out what they might be thinking by not include 2D Mario (again assumingg 2D & 3D counts as one series).

If the article were treating both game as from the same series then then I feel that Galaxy should have been the pick because it was both good AND innovative rather than just being Good as with NSMB. Although to be honest, I would have given it to Mario 64.

A surprisingly varied and interesting list. They even left off a 2D Mario to annoy the masses. Clever really. And very nice to see Beyond Good & Evil (one of my favourite titles) get the recognition it deserves.

lol@no Oblivion, Morrowind or Fallout 3.

I don't know much about that site but I hope it's a small one.
