No, I'm not making a list, but with lists starting to come out, I figured we might as we make a repository for them to discuss.

Here is the AV club's list.

Where is God of War?

Ballsy list, and I'm kind of in love with it solely for the inclusion of SSX 3.

My big issue with it is that at moments it's more about influence (Ico over Shadow of Colossus, Braid over non-douchery) and at times more about better game (Vice City over GTA: III) and sometimes neither (Final Fantasy XII over IX).

Plus, fuck the Sims.

Because SOUTH PARK isn't eligible.

Bioshock at #1 is fine with me.

No. 16 on the list "JBanks' Super Vagina World". I could never get past World 6, Fallopian Tubeland.

I go back and forth between Bioshock and Portal. Currently, I'm in a Portal state of mind.

Also, I thought we as a collective conscience established long ago San Andreas was far and away THE GTA game this decade. .

You'd better believe I'm sending Russ Fischer an angry letter about this.

Vice City was my favorite, but I really don't enjoy the GTA games all that much.

When he's low on health, wave a first aid kit in front of his face and then chuck it over the railing

Now it's like Left 4 Dead by way of Ayn Rand.

Based on the ones I've played it seems like a decent list. I agree with the pick of Vice City for the GTA peak and their reasons. I probably got more a bit more gameplay fun out of San Andreas, but Vice City was the one that most embraced the fact that the series is best when played for laughs, and they got the tone exactly right.

Deus Ex was the most glaring ommission for me, though it would also have been nice to see Psychonauts get yet more love.

Hey, a list! But a list that includes FF XII, which thanks to the 'Storytelling in games thread' I really, really need to get back to. I dig it.

Uh, Brutal Legend was awful therefore his previous games sucked. Sorry, thems the gamer rulez.

I get the "who cares about lists" talk, but they are fun discussion pieces, when not taken too seriously and there is a clear focus (which I see this list is lacking).

Psychonauts wouldn't have been one of the best games of the past decade. One of the funniest and arguably one of the most entertaining, sure. But no, good as it was, it's not one of the best of the past ten years.

Personally, I would've liked to see some recognition for NHL '09, because not even just as sports games go, but as games go, it was pretty incredible.

OH LIST, WHY MUST YOU TEAR US APART

Good point.

Brad, SSX 3 counts as the sports, activity, non-geeky game entry. Christ, next people will be demanding NFL 2K5 be on the list.

YOU ONLY GET ONE, PEOPLE!

"...making Final Fantasy XII the most enjoyable Japanese RPG since Chrono Trigger." That's a laugh.

Yeah, everyone knows there hasn't been an enjoyable Japanese RPG since Chrono Trigger.

I probably would preferred to have Resident Evil 4 in the token Zombie game slot.

That's an offensive list.

To top it off, they should have referred to it as "The Noughties". Man, that'd have been super-clever.
