The whole list is shocking

No MGS4?

No Halo?

GTA revolutionized a genre, and so low? San Andreas lower then Left 4 Dead is shocking!

Only one game from each series could make the cut - I suppose they just liked MGS3 more than MGS4.

As well they should.



Okay, sorry, I'll be quiet now.

I know they only allow one game per series, but it still feels weird to have the Wind Waker and Okami in the top 20 yet Twilight Princess nowhere on the list (especially since Twilight Princess was better than the Wind Waker! /opinion).

Other than that, the list is excellent.



Good list, though I prefer Civ IV over CIV III.



Oh, and it needs more Flower obviously

Honestly, they could have replaced Valkyria Chronicles with Flower for all I care

History is not a matter of opinion. I don't give a crap if you think Superman 64 is the best game ever, the first decade of the millenium ends in 2010. "Common Discourse" does not dictate facts it dictates opinions. Intentional ignorance of reality is not okay.

Destructoid is wrong in calling this "the first decade of the new millenium", yes, especially because the first year of the referred-to decade (2000) was actually the last year of the 20th century. You are right! That cannot be argued.

But talking about the period of ten years ranging from 2000-2009 and referring to it as a decade is not incorrect, strictly speaking. Destructoid made a big boo-boo, but the spirit of the article is still all right.

Personally I thought leaving out Majora's Mask was a much bigger flub but that is me

I completely forgot that came out in 2000!  It's a travesty to leave it off the list!

+1 for Destructoid, if only because of their #1 choice.

And is it just me, or does the entire VGC staff love Team ICO?

Hell, even BengaBenga said the next Team ICO title would be the one to make him finally buy a ps3 (back before the Last Guardian was announced), and Onyxmeth and I had a debate a few months back about how Team ICO is better than Kojima Productions, and easily the best dev team in Sony's arsenal.  I agreed with the latter, but disagreed with the former.

Team ICO are quite popular around these parts, even amongst guys that aren't particular fans of what Sony's done this gen.

There was no year zero. The decade ends at the end of 2010, not the end of 2009.

Thank you for standing up for basic knowledge.

The list is extremely Japanese centric. There are some massive omissions from that list that I won't even bother to mention as any experienced gamer can see them. Of course since the majority of members on this website have a niche taste in games it will be praised but I disagree strongly with the list as it doesn't cover equally a wide enough spectrum of gaming.

It covers an extremely wide spectrum of gaming, and this is written by an American website.

I would personally have fit Combat Evolved and the original Gears in there somewhere, but looking at the games on that list, it would be difficult to decide which ones to take out. They are all, without a doubt, excellent games.

The emphasis on my post was equally. While it does cover all genres I think its quite clear that whoever made the list had a unique taste in gaming and hence underrepresented some key genres in the last decade and were not just talking shooters either.
