Start from here and go through the list to 2014. It has most of the major game releases throughout the years. There are too many to mention.

@Minishdriveby: Thank you :) ill check it out! also, bioshock seems to be a recurring one, ill check it out again!

Bioshock is definitely up there. In the large gaming community, I feel like it's treated as highly as Watchmen is to comics and Fight Club is to books and movies as it both is fun all the way through and simultaneously discusses philosophical topics about society and more importantly people.

The Last of Us was not the first game to have fundamentally great characters and stories, but I feel like it's the first in this generation that everyone knows about and appreciates because of it. Like how Final Fantasy 7 did back during the PS1 days, GTA 3 during the PS2 , and Halo:Combat Evolved on Xbox. Almost everyone appreciated those games and that's true for The Last of Us as well nowadays.

But like @Minishdriveby said, there just too many games to list of and many of those games I haven't played. So no full opinions as of yet.

Batman Arkham Asylum and City. Not Origins. In no way Origins.

-Bayonetta
-Vanquish
-Anarchy Reigns
-The Wonderful 101
-Metal Gear Rising
-Deadly Premonition
-Super Mario 3D World
-Demon's Souls
-Dark Souls
-El Shaddai
-Resident Evil 4

By the way, All of the Bioshock games, everything by Rockstar, and The Last of Us are all shit. Don't play them. They all have incredibly mindless, tedious, uninteresting gameplay, and narratives that in no way make up for how agonizing they are to play. The best way to experience them would be to simply watch a Let's Play, ideally one that edits out the majority of the gameplay.

Halo

Halo 2

Far Cry 3

Oh yea, and The Last of Us. Best game of the last 10 years bar-none.

Halo was the game that ruined my friendships when i played against my ex best friend, but still love that shit.

@thatdudecangame: A couple from the earlier side of the decade that I recommend would be:

Killer 7
Oddworld Stranger's Wrath
Okami
Little King's Story

By year approach seems good:

2003. - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
2004. - World of Warcraft
2005. - Resident Evil 4
2006. - Gears of War
2007. - God of War 2
2008. - Fallout 3
2009. - Trine
2010. - Red Dead Redemption
2011. - Driver San Francisco
2012. - Spec Ops: The Line
2013. - Volgarr the Viking

Cool story bro.

Thanks for the completely meaningless non-response.

Personally I'd have to go with

• The Last of Us
• RE4
• Mass Effect 1
• Mass Effect 2
• Batman Arkham City
• Watch Dogs (yes I'm probably one of the few people who actually enjoyed it)
• Uncharted 2
• Uncharted 3
• Skyrim
• MGS3
• The Witcher
• The Witcher 2
• Dark Souls Dark Souls 2
• Persona 4 Golden
• Fire Emblem Awakening
• Pokemon X/Y
• LoZ Wind Waker
• LoZ Twlp
• Far Cry 3
• Kotor 2 (ugh would add Kotor 1 as well but it was released in 2003)
• Hotline Miami
• RDR
• GTAV

You and me both. I really liked Watch Dogs, but I'm not sure about best game of the decade yet. Maybe after I play it more, but for now I just see it as a great sandbox game with a new, innovative way of interacting with the world.
