Video

1 : World of Warcraft

2 : Grand Theft Auto 3
3 : Resident Evil 4
4 : Halo Combat Evolved
5 : Metroid Prime
6 : Half Life 2
7 : Shadow Of The Colossus
8 : Devil May Cry
9 : Super Mario Galaxy
10 : The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess

No FFX???? WTF?

EDIT: The list isnt really about the top 10 BEST games of the decade, but the most revolutionary and with more influence and impact in gaming industry and world in general. Most of them fit in this description, so dont go crazy if you dont see your favorite game there. And this is the reason GTA 3 is there instead of GTA SA or Vice City.

Wouldn't be the same as my list, but I can't hate too much on their choices.

Take off TP and put a more deserving game and I think it would be a pretty standard list.

#2, 5, 7 and 9 are good. The others are not. But then again, its a "list" so it'll only please the person who made it.

And FFX should be no where near a top-10 list, ever.

It judges the games based on the impact they had on the gaming world. I would agree with almost all of those games. And at least they had Metriod!

No complaints here, not a bad list, not a great one either but w/e.

EDIT: Nevermind, Devil May Cry 1 is up there instead of 3.

WoW is by far the best choice for the number one spot. Impact, quality, sales, critical reception, evoltuion, revolution, popularity = WoW.

wow ... Number one is a PC game?!!

Didnt expect that :) Well indeed WoW is an awesome MMORPG that changed everything and set a whole new standards for them.

Though my list wouldnt be with that order , i mean RE4?!! So high?!! I would choose RE remake for GC over it anytime!!

DMC was indeed something special when it first came. HL2 could be at number 4 instead. GTA3 was revolutionary deserves to be there... Hmm

I wish the list was TOP 20 instead, great missing games!! :) But oh well :)

God, I hate people obsession with lists these days. It's a sure sign of Lazy writing. Looks like someone needed to fill some pages with stuff and couldn't come up with anything better.Depending on your preference for games you could replace pretty much all of those games with better choices, ESPECIALLY the first choice.

Actually a pretty good list. Way better than IGN's (was it IGN's that had HL2 at 1 and U2 in the 10th spot with no Metroid Prime or RE4?)

Wut. My only beef with list is Number 9 and 10. Mario should be higher on the list and TP should be replaced :/.

I dont even play WoW or any other MMORPG and i have no problem with it being 1rst. I played it for 1-2months a few years ago cause i wanted to try an MMORPG and actually it was pretty good. Its a game that can last forever. It is like another world.

decent list, i wouldn't agree with zelda (which i liked but didn't have the same 'classic' feel to me like a few others). I'd probs have uncharted or COD:MW (or 2) in there instead...but i guess it all comes down to personal opinion

Thats in your opinion, I think Final fantasy 10 was amazing, and it would be in my top 10, But everyones list would be different, so dont act like your the fountain of gaming knowledge.

I wouldn't have Halo or Devil May Cry on my list (I'd probably sub in Rock Band 2 and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault), but it's pretty close to what I'd have.

Uncharted 2 is an amazing game and all but that game DIDN'T do anything new. It technically brought some of those and other games awesome mechanics and combined them in one. It's great but nothing groundbreaking.

The only difference for me would be to sub out Twilight Princess and DMC, and put in MGS4 and Fallout 3.

The list isnt really about the 10 best games of the decade, but the most revolutionary and with bigger impact on the industry, the ones that influenced many other games. If it were about the top 10 best games, GTA SA would have been there instead of GTA 3 and so on. So Shadow of Colossos shouldnt be first at all, i dont think it was very revolutionary or had many influence in many other games, maybe it shouldnt even be on top 10, but alright. Said this, and as the list follows this criteria i might agree with FFX no being there, but if this was really about the top 10 best games, then it should be there.

Well if the deciding point is what it did new then I agree but I thought they were talking about best overall. UC2 is the only game that has really impressed me since probably SNES games :P

Lol no. Take the Elder Scrolls series for instance. Every game after Daggerfall has had less content and much less substance. That doesn't stop Morrowind and Oblivion from being good games, but especially with regards to the RPG genre, games have been lacking "substance" for over a decade now.

Agree with pretty much all of them except for Devil May Cry since I don't really like the seris. Would replace that with God of War or Metal Gear Solid 3 personally.

Can you give some examples? You will refuse to acept this but the fact is that they are indeed better. I used to think old games were bettter too, but i replayed them and they arent really that great, and most games nowadays do everything better in all areas. Also the quantity-quality ratio is a lot bigger. In the past there was an hughe ammount of crappy games.

If WoW's on the list, why not Guitar Hero or Rockband? Despite it's recent milking it's initial establishment as a franchise was pretty innovative and enjoyable.

but my real gripes is Devil May Cry, which Ninja Gaiden should of gotten and TP is pretty much carbon copy of OoT.

Devil May Cry was an amazing game and one of my favorite games of all time. DMC 2,3,4 were way worst. I think DMC 1 formula was great, i have no idea why they removed the survival horror feeling of it. DMC 1 was awsome and it really had an impact in his genre, many games tried to copy it.

Why is Twilight princess on the list. It had zero impact on the gaming industry and it is definitely not revolutionary.
