Entertainment Weekly picks 10 best games of the decade

not a bad list, not bad at all.

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]

[QUOTE="locopatho"]That's actually a fantastic list. I think you need GTA3 on there, prob instead of Mass Effect, and it's pretty awesome.glez13

I would've liked to see Super Mario Galaxy 2. But it is still a great list I almost agree with every game listed.

Your decade seems to have almost 11 years for some reason... :?

Shadow of the Colossus and WoW are the only two that deserve to be on that list.

But I don't care. It's entertainment weekly. They don't actually know games. lol They think they can relate to gamers. XD

Wii sports??? Other than that I kinda like the list.

[QUOTE="glez13"]

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]This was of the decade GTA III came out in 2001 and this list is from 2002-2012.

I don't know whats wrong with the basic numerical skills of people. 2002-2011 is a decade 2002-2012 is 11 years.

GTA3 is older than a decade.glez13

[QUOTE="glez13"]GTA3 is older than a decade.Zeviander

A decade is simply 10 years.

I was expecting a really bad list, I was actually surprised that it was an ok list.

10. GTA: San Andreas
9. Portal
8. Arkham City goes here
7. Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition
6. Super F*cking Mario Galaxy 2
5. Fallout: New Vegas
4. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
3. WoW goes here
2. Half Life 2 goes here
1. Resident Evil 4

DontGetBigIdeas

Much better.

Everyone vote! One of those games will be announced as the winner at the ... VGAs, omg! Badosh

Metal God Solid 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Godrim aren't on the list = FAIL!!!111

Didn't you read the post above you? They are just listed by release date you have to vote the winner. So yeah, even more f***up.

Red dead redemption, since there's no Godrim in the list!

Prepare for mad, but frankly it's not a horrible list at all. No Halo or Call of Duty's make it, but neither does Metal Gear Solid.

10. Windwaker
9. Half Life 2
8. Wow
7. Shadow Of The Colossus
6. Wii Sports
5. Bioshock
4. Portal
3. Mass Effect 2
2. Red Dead Redemption
1. Arkham City

DontGetBigIdeas

Half Life 2 + episodes should be number 1

Bioshock should be number 2

Portal + 2 should be number 3

After that it doesn't matter. I guess it isn't a terrible list but the order is completely wrong.

OMG!!!111

No Call of Duty = FAIL!!!111

F*k that list and its rules. My picks are absolute.

Shadow of the Colossus and WoW are the only two that deserve to be on that list.

GeoffZak

Lemme guess it should only have the JRPGs you consider hardcore and nothing else, right?

Entertainment Weekly. lol.Badosh

That`s not a terrible list by any means. I endorse Windwaker on there and SoTC as well. I kind of vommited a bit when I saw Rockstar trash and Mass Effect there though.

Wind Waker is ranked too low. Red Dead Redemption is ranked too high.RulerofGondor

That's actually a really good list. I'd replace red-dead with SMG or SMG2 though.

Really not a bad list. I would get rid of Wii sports and replace Mass Effect 2 with Dragon Age: Origins but whatever. Really glad to see Shadow of the Colossus on that list.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]

[QUOTE="glez13"]

GTA3 is older than a decade.

Nintendo_Ownes7

They actually got #1 right. Arkham City is the most well rounded game ive ever played.

Replace Shadow of the collusus with MGS4 and it's a great list.

Terrible f*cking list.

No Halo: CE, no Resident Evil 4, no Gears of War, no StarCraft II, no Ninja Gaiden Black, no Call of Duty 4 (it deserves to be on that list, as much as I hate it), no Metroid Prime, no Metal Gear Solid 3, no Super Mario Galaxy, no Uncharted 2 ... this list is a joke.

What the f*ck is Wii Sports doin in a "best of" list, lolBioshock, LAWLMass Effect 2, Wind Waker is the worst 3D Zelda, Portal is mad overrated, Red Dead is nothing compared to, say, GTA III, and Arkham City executes well, but it's a year old, and we're declaring game of the decade? Please.

There are only two games you can actuall make an argument for on that list. On is WoW, and the other is Half-Life 2, which doesn't belong there either.

Garbage. Complete and total garbage.

I can get behind that list... but take out Wii SPorts and replace it with SMG2

That is one wack-ass f*cking list. What kind of bizarro world does EW live in where Wii Sports is better than Wind Waker? Also RDR lol

EDIT: I swear to god I did not read Blabadon's post before I posted this

[QUOTE="Blabadon"]Wii Sports? People just need to pack it up with the "best games" title and make it "most influential" instead. Also, RDR LOLDarkLink77

Here's how I'd put it:

10. Windwaker - Either they liked it that much, or it's another pick that's there so people don't rage at them and because it can pass off as logical even if they haven't.
9. Half Life 2 - Understandable for me up until midway this gen. I haven't played this, but as awesome as it sounds and may be, its gameplay seems to have aged too damn poorly for it to be here
8. Wow - Understandable for the fact that no one tops it at what it does. You are a WoW fan so I'll take your opinion on this.
7. Shadow Of The Colossus - Of course, this would always be my choice for #1 since it's my favorite game of all time, but I really hope they actually played it and didn't put it on to satisfy gamers/ because it would seem logical even if they didn't.
6. Wii Sports - It's a shallow minigame packaged game. The amount of games that should be here instead is mind-boggling
5. Bioshock - Same as Portal
4. Portal - Haven't played but understandable
3. Mass Effect 2 - Haven't played, but somewhat understandable. Only problem is that it's the middle of a trilogy which in my opinion makes it weird
2. Red Dead Redemption - I dislike this game very much so to see this trash here disappoints me
1. Arkham City - Worthy of the list, not the spot

Oh, I see, goes to show I should actually read the article.

Now that I read it, the Shadow of the Colossus and a few other games seem decently justified (I always get chills reading about SotC, every damn time), but I still can't support Red Dead or Wii Sports on the list. You're right, not over GTA III, VC, SA, Halo 1, 2 (eh...), or 3 (most deserving IMO), and lots of other games.

Then I would throw in my old wild cards like Uncharted 1, DXHR, Prince of Persia 2008, etc.
