Out of the games they listed from what I played and heard about only Bioshock would be in my top five and that may only because I never played System Shock 2...

Vagrant Story fighting system was way too frustrating for me but still a cool game if just my reflexes weren't so terrible. I have no interest in Call of Duty games, maybe just no my genre since I have no interest in multiplayer shooting games. . I have played RE 2 and the demo of RE 5 and they were both so bad from what I played I don't see how RE4 could be that good... Fallout 3 is good but not as good as the earlier games in the series and not as good as the RPGS made by Bioware... I guess I can't comment on Uncharted 2 or Little Big Planet for I doubt I will play them since I don't have a PS3, but the latter does seem to be pretty cool at least.

My top 5 of the past decade would be -

Star Wars KOTOR II
Bioshock
Dragon Age
Deus Ex (the PSX version came out in 2002 which I played first and remembering liking it a lot. )
Deus EX 2 (yes the game was rather easy, dumbed down, and short BUT the levels were still less linear than most games I have played and the story was quite enjoyable.)

My top 5 of the past decade:

1. Mass Effect 2

2. Mass Effect

3. Rock Band 2

4. Littlebigplanet (played it at my brother-in-law's)

5. COD4 (phenomenal multiplayer)

I always have trouble with these "top" lists, but the ones that come to mind:

Mass Effect 1
Okami
Team Fortress 2
Baldur's Gate II & ToB expansion (I'm counting them both as one game)
Psychonauts

 

[Death or OFLC]

Oblivion should be there instead of Fallout.

And wheres the Half Life?? Geeze

 

[G-Mang]

The Orange Box and God of War 1/2. Those two stand out the most to me as above the rest. There are other great games out there but I couldn't really choose 3 arbitrarily to add over the others.

 

[pearcinator]

KOTOR (2003)
Mass Effect (2007)
Resident Evil 4 (2005)
Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask (2000)
Portal (2007)

Id replace Mass Effect 1 with Mass Effect 2 but ME2 is a new decade.

 

[Pimppeter2]

What, no Jak and Daxter in either of those lists?

Here's mine:

Jak 2
Jak 3
Morrowind
Jak and Daxter: TPL
Oblivion.

Yup.

In no order:

1) Resident Evil 4 - the gameplay and pacing is very addicting and satisfying, yet manages to stay challenging all the way through the game (except for Saddler).
2) Half-life 2 - the atmosphere and setting were fun to become immersed with, and combat scenarios often felt varied and fresh for most new areas I visited.
3) Halo: Combat Evolved - everything in the game felt like a new start to me; the weapons were unique, the story was intriguing, the soundtrack was awesome, the enemies were mostly smart and dangerous (even grunts were a threat when chucking grenades or firing fuel rod guns)
4) Tales of Symphonia - combat never got old, nice character development, unpredictable story development (the good kind, with lots of twist plots)
5) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - fuck, it never ends! It's just addicting side quest after addicting side quest. I love medieval fantasy themes, and it's fun to openly explore a vast world. Plus, the NPCs are buggy to the point of hilarity. XD

Honorable mention: The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Crackdown, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

 

[Kyp]

1. Knights of the Old Republic
2. Mass Effect
3. Assassin's Creed 2
4. Dragon Age
5. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion


I'm tempted to put Baldur's Gate 2 on here, but my superficial love of graphics ruined that for the poor game. Hovering just outside the Top 5 are Knights of the Old Republic II and Final Fantasy XII. By the way, I'm with the people saying that Mass Effect 2 doesn't qualify as being of the last decade. And, yeah, I'm a RPG and Bioware junkie.

 

[antipunt]

1. Persona 3
2. Fallout 3
3. FFX
4. Bioshock
5. Oblivion

 

[sidereal_day]

The Sims
Halo
CoD 4
Morrowind
FFX

Note that these aren't necessarily my FAVORITE games of the decade, but what I feel are the most important genre-setting ones.

 

[Christemo]

5. SSBB.
4. Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.
3. Age of Mythology.
2. Titan Quest.
1. Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

 

[reg42]

No Metal Gear games? I'm disappointed. And RE4? Come on.

RE4 kicked ass dude, unlike the crappy sequel.

OT: It makes sense that they didn't pick their own games, that would be quite arrogant.
1. Mass Effect 2
2. Dragon Age: Origins
3. Diablo II
4. Fallout 3
5. Ratchet & Clank 2/3

 

[DaxStrife]

Half-Life 2
Fallout 3
Bioshock/System Shock 2
Baldur's Gate 2
Psychonauts

 

[The Bandit]

KOTOR II
The Orange Box (this is how you squeeze sequels in without looking like a jackass, people)
Mass Effect
Resident Evil 4
Halo

 

[mattttherman3]

Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age Origins
Mass Effect
Oblivion
Fallout 3

I love me the rpgs

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Mass Effect 2 was released in 2010.

Yes, but that's still within the "last" 10 years. =P

But they are saying "of the decade" (2000-2009). >_>

Any time people talk about this, there has to be at least one guy to say what I'm about to say. Today, I will be playing the part of that guy:

The proper decade is 2001-2010, not 2000-2009. The first year of our calendar was 1, not 0, so either all decades start with "***1" and end with "***0" or there has been at least one decade in our history that did not consist of 10 years.
