Best games of the decade! imo

Fallout 3- Best RPG and open world game. Amazingly renders a post apocalyptic world.

Silent Hill 2- The only game made, ever that I would consider close to being art. Brilliantly fleshed out characters, striking visual and auditory design, and frightening enemies make this the best horror game of the decade.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic- Bioware's first console RPG and the best Star Wars game ever made.

Left 4 Dead 2 (just edges out the original)- Puts you into the middle of a zombie outbreak like no other game ever could before it.

Resident Evil Remake- Took the original game and somehow managed to make it better. The 2nd best Resident Evil after 2 and 2nd best horror game after Silent Hill 2. It also is the best Resident Evil of the decade just edging out Code Veronica and 4 in my opinion.

Sid Meier's Pirates- Steeped in historical knowledge that it utilizes as a background mythology; this is easily the best PC game of the decade. Even better than Civilization 4 and Age of Empires 3.

Rachet and Clank: Going Commando- Easily the best platformer of the decade. Insomniac created this duo after dropping Spyro the Dragon. An awesome mix of Sci-fi related humor in the Futurama vein, a very tight platforming formula, and an imaginative mix of weapons. Going Commando was, I feel, the best entry on the PS2. I can't say anything about the PS3 games, as I haven't gotten to play them. However, they do look great.

Portal- Short, sickly funny, and difficult. What more can you ask of from this short yet creative little oddity from 2007?

Half-Life 2- Valve truly delivered this decade, and Gordon Freeman's second game (along with the additional chapters) was one of the best shooters of the decade. All I can say is Gravity Gun!

Disappointments of the decade-

Resident Evil 5- Not really bad as a game. It simply copied RE4, added in a gimmicky "potnah" so they could say the game wasn't racist, and failed to deliver on any of their promises involving sunlight-induced hallucinations and the need to find shade from time to time to survive. It also gave Chris steroids. Lastly, it ended the old series in an extraordinarily unsatisfactory way, in Africa no less for no real meaning. Like him or not, the post Raccoon City phase of the series was nothing without Albert Wesker. The final "battle" between him, Chris and Sheva feels underwhelming; certainly not the epic showdown myself and I'm sure many other fans were expecting.

Silent Hill: Homecoming- Gee, let's take a series that is famous for its subtle, ambiguous scares and lonely, morally gray protagonists and make an 18 hour gory, profanity ridden love letter to that shitty Gans movie. Kill me now, please.

Dead Space- Yes it was one of the most gruesome games I have ever seen. It was also visually redundant and featured a "hero" completely devoid of any personality who spoke maybe 5 lines of dialogue throughout the games, not including screams. The enemies were kinda boring looking and the ruined, bloody spaceship stops being scary after you see it the 500th time. Every room looked almost exactly the same=lazy!

Halo 3- I'm on the opposite side of the fence regarding this game. Nothing really stood out. The single player campaign is alright, but nothing really stood out to me. The multiplayer is okay, but then again I'm not all that into deathmatches and such, and I felt that Team Fortress 2 was much better with those. I guess I'm just too much of a Valve fan. In the end, I was not impressed with it and I don't feel that it deserved the fanfare it received.

Doom 3- See Dead Space.

God of War II- Not bad, but it just seemed like a re-tread of the original. Maybe that's okay for some gamers, but I want something else from a sequel. See also, Resident Evil 5.

Final Fantasy X- Winner of gayest attire in all of gaming and most broken mini-games of the decade.

Resident Evil 0- Most pointless entry in the series featuring the most pointless character in the series coughcoughBillyCohencoughcough.
Did we really need to know Bravo Team found another freaking mansion after getting on a train? I always assumed that they spent those hours in the Spencer estate. We found all of their bodies there anyway! Also, why did we have to create Billy Cohen knowing he would play no further role in the RE series? It's bad enough we have poor Carlos Oliveira running around in RE limbo, did we have to give him company? Following ReMake I assumed Rebecca stuck to Richard but I guess I'm a fucking idiot!
