Why hasn't anyone said how badly he talked about Zelda... He even voted against it O_O Come on people, Zelda won the hall of fame award, obviously it is the best series of all time, including the decade!

Tomb Raider is the best series, but the reboot is horrible.

Assassin's Creed
Final Fantasy

I have to choose between Mass Effect and Bioshock??? ... Mass Effect. But very, VERY close call.

Elder Scrolls.

Souls wins from GTA

Batman kicks Payn's ass every time.

@randallsilver Yes, but only because Batman has gadgets and Max is drunk all the time

was gonna say GTA but balls I didn't see "This decade"


We're only 3 years into this decade, discounting series that started prior to 2010, has any half decent new IP taken off?

Sequels after 2010 don't count, nor does DLC (looking at you dishonoured) the beginning of the series, I can't think of one

Tough to beat that feeling of awe from the Mass Effect series, that feeling of twisted terror (and terrifying twists) from Bioshock, the epic scale of The Elder Scrolls or the sense of wonder and coolness that came with Assassin's Creed...

Those are my top 4, i guess. Not that it's easy between them and the other 12 series, but i hope one of those 4 wins it!

Seems like this is more of a popularity contest than an actual search for the best era defining game...

@Graphyte @bfa1509 Fair enough, zelda has a bit more of a legacy I suppose. If it was a best game ever competition then Red Dead Redemption should be in the top 20 at least.

@Anthony Zombo And what kind of a ghetto ass game is Brother Hood? Is that an AC where you play as mob boss Ezio trying to make a name by selling drugs in Los Angeles?

I have so many questions for you right now!

I love the "Souls" games dearly but I voted for GTA. Why? Because although Dark Souls/Demon's Souls are incredibly innovative games GTA has possibly had the greatest cultural impact of any videogame during the last decade. What Rockstar have achieved reaches beyond gaming and influences popular culture like few other games.

To uber-non-gamers videogames consist of Space Invaders, PacMan, Mario and GTA with a possible side order of Frogger and Tomb Raider.

wow the got the souls series fk up. gta is great but after a while it gets boring as fk, not counting gta 5 cuz i never played it, but gta 4 after killing 1000 drug dealers and smashing some hookers it gets boring as hell with that garbage combat it had. the souls series made a game no one has made before there is no game that can say they are like the souls. i guess kids love doing drugs and shooting on video games

@Nino Plevnjak I dont think you understand how statisctics and opinion/demographics work. People voting for what they truly loved shows the truth in the numbers and graphs in the end.

You cant hide from the truth when a game truly is good ...and im pretty sure whatever game will end as #1 it will be amazing to most of us and we will agree to it :)

@infinity_ thats not tru. there are some games more popular than others for reasons that are dumb. 12 year add kids wanna run n get the most kills thus y cod sells the way it does, but this video got the souls game fk up. souls revolutionize the rpg genre. there is nothing like it.

Why didn't you guys just announce at the beginning of the video whether or not we regard the WHOLE series or THIS DECADE, Final Fantasy fans seem to have a problem with this.
