Smackdown 2: Know your Role. This the game I probably spent most time playing. Seriously I lost years just playing royal rumbles with my friends.

I'm gonna give it to Persona 3 FES for it's humongous amount of old and new content, a great cast and story, and fun game play.
Wow! Finally someone recognized Viewtiful Joe. That game was fucking awesome, no question!

2000: Zelda Majora's Mask
2001: Gran Turismo 3
2002: Final Fantasy X
2003: Zelda Windwaker
2004: Half-Life 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3
2005: Tekken 5
2006: Quake 4
2007: Forza 2
2008: Fallout 3 or Metal Gear Solid 4
2009: Undecided... nothing's impressed me much

Game of the decade overall though, for me is Half-Life 2. Though that's partially due to the 100's of mods. =P

(PS if the years seem a bit off it's because I'm from the PAL region... we get screwed over a lot x_x)

The only game that truly Deserves game of the Decade... Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was what Oblivion should have been. Fine tuned, immersive, atmospheric, and FUN.
You've never played the original Fallout games, have you? Bethesda seems only to have improved the things which weren't integral to the original design, and to have largely ignored most of the things that were. It never feels like there's any choice beyond "saint candidate", "malefic demon" or "apathetic loser". The middle ground of the karma system is terrible and the whole karma system itself is utterly borked. There's no gameworld-spanning choices apart from Megaton, and even that pales in comparison with Gecko in Fallout 2 or Junktown in the original.

The combat system is more exciting, but that seems to ignore the fact that you could make your way through both games without ever firing a shot, and you could finish the first without ever engaging in violence. The whole thing's full of bugs, and the ending is utterly atrocious. It has plenty of redeeming characteristics, but a game with that many flaws shouldn't be considered for Game of the Decade.
The only flaw that was true was the ending NARRORATION. But seeing as the game can give the players beyond 50 hours of shit to do, it's redeeming qualities were many. Also, what numerous bugs? Did YOU ever play the Fallout games? Unfinished quests, game breaking bugs? And yes Fallout 1-2 were so awesome, that is why the company who made it went on to release their version past 70% completion and are worth in the Hundreds of millions right now.... oh wait.. my bad... they are pretty much Bankrupt and are Bethesda's legally bought out *****...

GTA: Vice City? San Andreas?
....
Screw this, too many to name ONE top game.
From the past decade, I think I can settle on San Andreas. That might be my favorite of all time. Fallout 3 comes close.

Definitely S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (yes I always use the periods)

It really is the spiritual successor to Fallout 2, moreso than Fallout 3 which except for VATS is just Oblivion with guns.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has the oldschool gameplay, hardcore shooter values, an awesome setting and decent AI. Immersive is an understatment, the atmosphere is absorbing. Just sit around a campfire and listen to the characters chatter in Russian, pull out the guitar for some folk songs, or just smoke cigarettes and you can't help but be sucked into the world.

However it isn't game of the decade without the Oblivion Lost mod, which made the AI viscous, added much needed vehicle transport and brought back the a lot of what was in the game box but not the final version due to executive meddling.

Game of the Decade for me is probably Half Life 2 and all its episodes too, the gameplay is rather immersive.
