Top Ten Games of the Decade

Now, I've trusted Yahoo News for a long time, until I saw this.

Saying the year "2010" out loud is bizarre, especially since we still don?t ride around in flying cars. But where science has failed us, video games have not. The past decade has been gaming's greatest: ten solid years filled with spectacular technological feats, record-setting sales and, of course, awesome, awesome games. Some, however, are more awesome than others. Taking quality, influence, sales and general greatness into account, here are our picks for the top ten titles released between 2000 and 2009

10. Super Mario Galaxy
9.Half Life 2
8. Wii Fit
7.Bejeweled
6.Wii Sports
5.Halo
4.Guitar Hero
3.The Sims
2.World of Warcraft
1.Grand Theft Auto III

Now, I'm not even complaining about games like Halo or Bejeweled. But Yahoo is trying to tell me that Wii Fit is a better game than Morrowind? This is plain ridiculous! Sales I can understand. about what about taking quality, influence, and general greatness!

This is plain nutters!

It's yahoo for God-sake. They don't know games.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Oh my..

What just happened? Half life is 9th? Wow.

Wait. Wasn't there something to do with Yahoo to try minimalise gaming awhile back? And then they make this?

 

[Reg5879]

Since when are we taking Yahoo seriously?

Aw...you ninja'd me to this.

Yeah, its a bullshit list

 

[grimsprice]

But Yahoo is trying to tell me that Wii Fit is a better game than OOT? This is plain ridiculous!

If by OOT you mean Ocarina of Time, well that was a 98 release.

But besides that, the list is bullshit. Clearly just a sales chart, not based on quality of the game or even the reviews it got.

 

[dududf]

Yahoo news is not a game site.

Them making a top video game list is like my making a model snow globe of a book, and shaking it up and wondering what the book reads.

Meaning it doesn't make sense why you would in the first place.

 

[JRCB]

Guitar Hero? Really?

I think they're looking at hype and sales, not quality and gameplay. Or story. Or anything that matters about a game. Just sales.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Because we all know that Bejewled is a better game than Half-Life 2. Yahoo really knows their games.

 

[Simalacrum]

wait what? WII FIT IS ON A TOP 10 GAMES OF THE DECADE LIST!?

Thats out of order.

And way too many of those games are current gen!

Seems like an ill-conceived list to me.

 

[SantoUno]

snipped

Of all people I think you should have known better, how can Yahoo possibly make a believable games of the decade list?

LOL you changed OoT to Morrowind.

Fuck that shit I would have said "They think Wii Fit is better than Silent Hill 2 or Knights of The Old Republic 1/2 !? Madness!!"

 

[Pimppeter2]

I say we kill the infamous thing

(Cookie for reference. Historical cookie that is)

 

[quantum mechanic]

...How is Half Life 2 in any way worse than Wii Fit?

...How is Wii Fit in any way better than Half Life 2, Oblivion, Mass Effect, Psychonauts, Portal...?

...How is Portal not on this list?!

 

[Godavari]

Wii Mother-freakin' Sports? At number 6?! What the Hell?
Yahoo, I'm sorry, but go die.

Lol can you say casual. Only 5 of these deserve to be there.

Mario Galaxy
WoW
HL2
GTAIII
Guitar Hero

The rest are a complete joke. Also, It should be The Orange Box and not just HL2

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Perhaps it's a list of games that shook up the industry? Then again, that doesn't explain why SMG is on there.

 

[Vianyte]

At least GTA IV isn't there

 

[Zing]

And Bejeweled...I didn't even know what it was, I had to look it up on wikipedia.

 

[Ham_authority95]

This is what comes from a site that dosen't specialize in video games lol
