Game of the Decade

Bonavox

So, what's everyone's favourite game of the decade, with a few runners up?

Gonna go with San Andreas, simply as it made history and was the funnest game ever. Hitman: Contracts definitely deserves a mention, along with PoP: Sands of Time.

Anyone got a definitive game of the decade?

Half Life 2.

NothingMan

Mine was The Darkness. Excellent storyline and action. Never got boring and scared me a little with the lights off and surround on.

Forgot about that! If I was to make a top ten (which I might do for my site), I'd throw in Oblivion. It would probably be the only game from this generation that would get a mention as well.

Lands Leaving

Fallout 3 would probably be what absorbed me the most. Weak decade now I think about it. The 90's were great.

Runners up...

Halo
Morrowind (screw Oblivion)
Half Life 2/Portal
Resident Evil 4
Super Mario Galaxy
Burnout 3
Shenmue 2 (would be no1 but its too similar to shenmue 1)

Do they have to be playstation only?

There is no definitive game of the dacade, different strokes and all that. Had it been released 2 years later I would have said MGS1 but failing that I would have to say San Andreas. It was, for me, the one game that stands out as being rediculously far ahead of everything else at the time of its release.

Having said that, I'm not a big FPS fan so I'm almost certainly overlooking a lot of possible other contenders

I remember playing that on launch day on my friends game cube. We were in awe, what an amazing game

San Andreas hands down. It never got boring and was so much fun. Runner up, I would have to say Call of Duty 4. A massive breakthrough for online gaming, despite a short campaign...

mmm Well I hated all three of those games so that's a bad start lol.

I would have to say my favorites where
il2 1946
Battlefield 2
Half-Life 2
Dragon Age Origins
Aliens Vs Predator (original) (although I think that may be 1999 not 2000)
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 1 (Gamecube)
Eternal Darkness (Gamecube)
Singstar lol ( great for pulling women at parties haha)
Day of Defeat Source
too many more to mention..

Optimus Prime

Halo for me, purely because of the laugh i had playing splitscreen multiplayer! many nights sat in drinking playing it.

RAIN

Hmmmh mine would be

Oblivion
Halo3
San Andreas
Half Life 2
MGS:Snake Eater
WOW
Gears of War
Modern Warfare
Mario Galaxy
Shadow of the Coll
Counter-Strike Source
Prince of Persia SOT
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Uncharted 2

Overall winner for me would be Fallout 3.

Joneser

Gotta be Half-Life 2 for me, altho the game i put the most time into was definitely WoW.
Oblivion and GT4 deserve an honorable mention too tho.

Daemos

San Andreas, definately

weemcd

mgs 3 snake eater or COD4

Josey Wales

Pro Evolution Soccer 5. Maybe.

Kev_ps3

God Of War
Pro Evo
Call of Duty

Winner Call of Duty 4 for the online.

Rev. Kitchen

Oh trying to think back through a decade of gaming when gaming ruins your ...what do you call it .... ability to ... remember thats it !!

Not sure of the year but Desert storm on the original xbox was brilliant 4 player co-op.
Pro evo has to be up there as it was the best game out for at least 6 of the 10 years.
Resi evil, GTA and MGS have to be in or around the top 10.
COD4.
Half life 2

cokedrinker

Delta Force : Land Warrior !!!

Damn that was a great multiplayer game back in the day - I spent more time playing that game than all other games combined

Retr0gamer

Hard to chooseone but right now it would be shadow of the colossus.

valleyoftheunos

The game I enjoyed most might well be Mario Galaxy but I also really loved Halo, the execution was just spot on.

I think GTA3 (or Vice City or San Andreas as you prefer) might be a winner though simply because it changed everything and really showed where games were going. It was the first sand lot game to really pull it off, it was pretty eye opening.

irishjim111

Fifa is a game iv always been biting my nail to wait till october every to get it but the last two years iv got bored of it very qickly so its one of my favourates. and any racing or rally game i loved or the war games like medal of honour or the mafia games they were great aswell.

God its hard to say which was the best of the best though:)

Walsh

GTA Vice City/San Andreas! Definitly changed gaming for the good!

Call of Duty aswell in terms of the whole online gaming scene.

Evolute

Gears of War 1/2
Fallout 3
Mario kart wii
Guitar hero
Star wars battlefront 2
and san andreas had hours upon hours of fun with that game and then they wrecked gta4

Risteard

My Top 3:

Fallout 3
Final Fantasy X
Resident Evil 4

rizzla

Silent Hill 2.

Haven't given it much thought yet, but that game would certainly be up near the top.

Yakult

Fallout 3
Mario kart wii
San Andreas
Halo
COD 4
Conflict Desort Storm

liverpo

A bit unfair to say a weak decade:

In no particular order:

GTA
PES
Fallout3
DeadSpace
Virtua Tennis3
Splinter Cell
Burnout
COD4
GT4
MOH
MGS
Uncharted 1&2

UpTheSlashers

For me its san andreas or whichever game started the guitar hero/singstar/rockband malarky.

donmeister

GTA3 gets my vote, I remember just been blown away from start to finish.

Evolute

God of war is in there too as one of the best ones Ive played the two of them so far and have played away happily without getting bored in the slightest

qz

Fallout 3, Uncharted 2 and Shadow of the Colossus take the top spots for me!

Conor108

MGS3: Snake Eater

Bonavox

Have to agree with God of War too. Great game. Hard to pick a top 50, never mind top 10!

TanG411

Grand Theft Auto III probably wins in my book.

valleyoftheunos

Frick forgot about guitar hero, SOTC, GOW at all.

Ferris_Bueller

On the playstation anyway, for me it has to be Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, never had so much fun playing a game in my life.

Big Knox

Couldn't pick a definative one right now but at the top of my list would be:

Silent Hill 2 - Still the scariest game ever made
Resident Evil 1 - Fantastic remake of the original daddy of survival horror
Burnout Paradise - Most fun you can have in a car and great online
Demon's Souls - Completly innovative and a fresh look at the RPG scene
Call of Duty 4 - Amazing single player experience and unrivaled online
Uncharted 2 - The best single player action game ever made

I know there's probably more I can't think of right now but they're the ones that stand out at the moment!!

Shadow of the Colossus- as close to a work of art as a video game can get, anyone who think games are for kids and have no depth should be made to play this

Resident Evil 4- just amazing from start to finish

Uncharted 2- the same as playing a great summer blockbuster, took everything that was annoying about the first one (some niggly jumps, too many combat sections) and evened everything out for a much more satisifying experience, i didnt want it to end

Bioshock- A great plot, amazing design and visuals and some genuinely emotional moments

Metal Gear 4- overlong cutscenes, you watch it more than you play it, plot tries to cram in everything from the previous games to give every charcter an ending, but when its firing on all cylinders its an incredible experience, the

return to Shadow Moses, with the sniper battle, Raiden being a badass and ther subsequent Rex vs Ray fight

is one of the most enjoyable parts of a game I've ever played

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess- have only played the GC version but its stunning from start to finish

Half Life 2- still hasnt been bettered as a single player fps, Modern Warfare 1+2 have come close with epic scenes and making you feel like you're playing a movie, but HL2 is still the daddy

God of War series: just balls to the wall fun from start to finish, to think the first one wasnt even going to get a release over here

Honorable mentions to:
Okami
Ico
Silent Hill 2
Dead Space
Burnout 3
Knights of the Old Republic

prettyboy81

GTA on PS3,

Pro Evo 5 - PS2

Metal Gear Solid - PS2

Rev. Kitchen

God of war never did it for me, it did look brilliant graphically but the game was just mindless button bashing over and over again. I dont think it added anything to the gaming world.

super_furry

Toss up between Morrowind and Vice City.

free gaff?

pes6
san andreas(was without doubt the best, gta iv was a massive letdown)

sarumite

Personally my favourite was probably Elder Scrolls:oblivion.

valleyoftheunos

Its funny how GTA4 and San Andreas seem to polrize people, often they love one but hate the other.
