Gametrailers Top 10 games of the decade. NO PS3 or 360 games.

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.

I can pretty much roll with this list except for a few choices. Firstly, Super Mario Galaxy? Hasn't exactly been out long enough to be "revolutionary", and hence why it's also fair that no 360 or PS3 game be included; nor should any Wii game (except maybe Wii Sports, which has managed in a very short time to change what people think gaming could be like). Secondly, Twilight Princess? I don't know about that one at all, but I guess a Zelda game was pretty much obligatory.

So What is Halo CE, Half Life 2 and Twilight Princess doing on that list? Take out RE4 and MP too.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"] Twilight Princess was the first adventure game with motion control. Mario Galaxy's gameplay is unique.jalexbrown

lucky_star

I don't 100 percent agree with their list but I will say its by far the best one out of any other list Ive seen... Im actually surprised to see so many Nintendo games on their, talk about ironic....

And for a quick note, although LoZ:TP is not my favorite Zelda game (not even close), its very mis-represented in this thread. It was a good game, with a slow start and it was the first motion control adventure game, thats a very big deal.

[QUOTE="lucky_star"][QUOTE="LastRambo341"] What on Earth do you want? COD4 and Killzone 2? The games on the list are "revolutionary". Sheesh, so many people are disagreeing for no or stupid reasonLastRambo341

Half Life 2 was easily one of the best games of the decade no explanation there needed. Also Halo:CE Finally Moved the console FPS Mainstream, games for years afterwards would copy it. Hell if it werent for CE there wouldn't be as nearly as many fps as there are today on consoles(you decide if that's good or bad)

walkingdream

That's kind of the thing, really. Some people blame Halo for the fact that the console market is now oversaturated with FPS games, where it wouldn't have been had it not been for the popularity of Halo. Personally I enjoy FPS games and can't get enough of them, but I can see why people who don't like FPS games might blame Halo for the trend towards them amongst console games.

I understand why theres no current games on that list. But really, what has Halo CE, HL2, RE4 and MP done? Tell me because i really want to know.lucky_star

[QUOTE="lucky_star"] There were FPS games on the SNES, PS1, Dreamcast and even ps2 before CE came out. Nice try.jalexbrown

[QUOTE="lucky_star"] There were FPS games on the SNES, PS1, Dreamcast and even ps2 before CE came out. Nice try.jalexbrown

Goldeneye, I believe. But you can argue it was based on a license. And Halo isn't the first new property FPS to sell millions on console. Perfect Dark did so, but not as much.

[QUOTE="lucky_star"][QUOTE="jalexbrown"] Care to try to name a single one that sold even a quarter - let alone a half - of what Combat Evolved sold on the Xbox?jalexbrown

In a manner of speaking, sales can equal revolutionary. If something sells well, it's more likely that more games will follow suit, and more people will try to emulate or spin off that concept. It's undeniable, really, that Halo's great sales lead to the HUGE surge in console FPS popularity.jalexbrown

You could certainly argue that without Goldeneye, there wouldn't be Halo. Goldeneye was the first game to prove that a console FPS game could sell extremely well, but Halo combined sales and innovative design together; were it not for Halo's design, I would say Goldeneye should be up there and not Halo.jalexbrown

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="lucky_star"] So now, Sales = revolutionary? SNES had doom. N64 had Turok Ps1 had a bunch of games, too many to name. Ps2 had a pretty good game called Time Splitters before CE even came out. Ps1 hadlucky_star

Twilight Princess? Are you kidding me?vashkey

Well Super Mario Galaxy doesn't fit a bit imo...

Sigh....Not even sales could describe what Halo:CE Did Games would copy it years later and developers would consistently say where they got there inspiration from and they would say Halo:CE, Why do you think for years and years they would copy the controls shooting mechanics, have a larger emphases on vehicles/open environments. Now sure there would of been fps before halo on consoles(which i never disputed) But u seriously think they had the same influence?walkingdream

The biggest design influence from Halo comes with the implementation of melee and of course, regenerating health. While not innovations, these stand out as large influences on the genre, right next to its modern popularization of the genre on consoles and the standard it set. Its a highly influential game but for other reasons.

[QUOTE="vashkey"]Twilight Princess? Are you kidding me?LastRambo341

Twilight Princess is anything but influential, at present there is nothing to show its influence, especially next to a game like World of Warcraft, GTA 3 and Halo CE.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]

WTF is Twilight Princess doing there? It hasn't had any impact and its ''revolutionary controls'' are the worst thing about it.

Where's Mass Effect? Metal Gear?

HarlockJC

Motion Plus and the fact its actually being developed for Wii hardware will decide if motion control in epic games is worth it. TP's controls are just tacky and unnecessary, the concept for them can take a nap.

Mario 64 was awe-inspiring and influencial for more than its controls. It also showed what you can do with state of the art power for gaming.

Analogue Stick Revolution>>>>>>>>Waggle

TP does belong up there rated 95% on metacritic etc and was the FIRST adventure game to implement motion controls if thats not influential(i.e zelda wii) idk what is

[QUOTE="walkingdream"][QUOTE="lucky_star"] In that case, shouldnt Moder Warfare 2 be on that list instead of halo CE, since Halo CE only sold a little over 5mil?lucky_star

tomarlyn

idk i guess if thats your opinion the controls were fine to me yea sloppy though. And if you feel like the controls were sloppy which is cool being 95% is a tough feat that should be in there because of that regardless to me

[QUOTE="Seabas989"]A Link to the Past was in the 90's.

foxhound_fox

I don't agree with WOW or a few others on the list, but it's a HELL of alot better then most top 10 lists I've seen.

I got a smile that there are two wii games on that list and no ps3/360 :P

yeah that is a pretty decent list. 1. ffx sucks. and how is it revolutionary? 2. there is nothing on the 360 or ps3 for that matter that deserve to be close to those games yet. i would have to say MGS4 comes CLOSE to the top 10 for me.

edit: just noticed those two wii games that SHOULD NOT BE THERE.

TP had the worst waggle implementation in the biz-niss

and i can see smg being there just for the 3d'ness of the mini worlds, but sure as heck not for the motion control. it wasn't even really used in that game.

I agree with the list expect for Zelda TP being on the list. There were far better and innovating games than TP.
