If it's half as good as I expect it to be, skyrim will be my GOTD. Forgoeing that, it would probably be Halo: Combat Evolved.
For the older gamers (10+ years of gaming), what is your GOTD (game of the decade)?
- Thread starter King of the Sandbox
- Start date
KotOR or the first Mass Effect. Tough decision, but I think I'll go with KotOR, since it made me fall in love with RPGs in the first place.
That is a good point. I made a lot of friends just from playing Halo 2 over my dorms LAN... same thing with super smash brothers.Fieldy409 said:
...... its so hard....
windwaker is hands down my favorite single player game. but...
ya i'm gonna have to go with Halo. for the same reason Fieldy said. despite the fact that i've played WoW for more than half the previous decade. I think halo still wins. i think.
Hmmm. Well my all time favorite is The Monster Hunter franchise starting from the first but I do have to go with what alot of other people are saying and Shadow of the Colossus is definitely on the list.
Tossup between..
Star Ocean Till the End of Time, released 2003, which had its flaws but the story was brilliant and the variation of characters made it thoroughly enjoyable although there were many substandard voice actors mixed in with better ones.
Kingdom Hearts 2, an amazing sequel to an equally amazing game, with advancements on all previously established mechanics of the game, a touching story and many fantastic characters with incredible voice acting. Perhaps one of the most astonishingly bizarre games in creation, but rigidly satisfying. (That's what she said..!)
Armored Core: For Answer, as an AC fan, perhaps not the most hardcore, perhaps not the most skilled, believe me I know very well where I stand, I loved this game for many reasons. Masses of customization, giant mechs, big explosions, although the single player had a tendency to get dull, repetitive and very barren, online matches were exciting, although riddle with elitists or simply over-skilled players. (Not to mention the occasional Lagmodeming prick who has no raw talent available to take you on fairly. I'm looking at you HURRICANE LEO/LYNX TIGER CLAW)
Get together a bunch of friends and you can have a great laugh online.
Minecraft, for sheer ingenuity, being the first to be inspired by Infinimer and actually taking itself in an amazingly addictive direction. Although its popularity has spawned half a dozen or more absolutely drab clones that simply cannot match up to the real deal, Minecraft will remain an amazingly addictive and enjoyable tool to play with, its even so good that my two and a half year old brother, who normally screams and shouts and bangs things, will sit his ass down and watch it in silence, he loves Yogscast.
(I tried to get him to watch 'FortressCraft' and 'Total Miner' and he'd lose interest in seconds. Take that, you pathetic clones.)

Kingdom Hearts 2.
I started replaying that masterpiece last night because the wait for Skyrim was killing me.
I forgot how magnificent it was. The combat, the boss battles, the characters, I just love it.

Considering its massive influence, popularity, lasting power, and just plain good game design, I'll have to say World of Warcraft. Hell, I don't even play the game and I can see that its one of the most important games of its decade.
Same here.silenticecream said:
Shadow of the Colossus is also my game of the decade. It's also pretty much my most favorite game of all time.
And now that it's been re-released, more people will experience it's greatness.
Easly the best game this Decade for me was Dragon Age Origins, it's the only game in a long time that I've beaten more the 5 times in a row. However another great game thats come out that has totally immersed me is Bioshock.
My personal favorite game? Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
The game I think is the best made? Red Dead Redemption.

Well this is a tough one. I've played a lot of good games in 10 years. I think I'm going to have to go with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, an unforgettable experience.
