10. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Naughty Dog Software
Platform: PS3
Year: 2009
It seemed unlikely that Naughty Dog could develop an even better game than the original Uncharted, but the studio did so with flying colors. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was a virtually ideal sequel: it continued all the great traditions that Uncharted began and also implemented a full suite of multiplayer options. To call it a "must-buy" is an understatement.

9. Battlefield 1942
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Digital Illusions CE (DICE)
Platform: PC
Year: 2002
Judged purely by the amount of time we spent playing, there are few multiplayer games that were as popular among the IGN staff as DICE's intense online shooter. Combining land, sea and air combat with lots of vehicles and different infantry kits, Battlefield 1942 brought World War 2 to life in a way that no other game ever has.

8. Okami
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Clover Studio
Platform: PS2
Year: 2006
Okami was released the year after high definition gaming was introduced on Xbox 360 and it still managed to steal the hearts of gamers with its beautiful artwork. Its original and whimsical approach to the adventure genre was refreshing not only for the way gamers would paint their attacks, but also the way actions brought the world back to life.

7. Fallout 3
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Platform: PC , PS3 , Xbox 360
Year: 2008
It's tough for a studio to take over a beloved franchise from another group of developers. Bethesda's Fallout 3 is a roadmap to success. Blending elements of old with its patented open-world design, the group that cut its teeth on The Elder Scrolls franchise brought back a classic while taking it to new heights.

6. Counter-Strike
Publisher: Sierra Studios
Developer: Valve
Platform: PC
Year: 2000
It's still one of the best online shooters around. Though other games have passed it by in terms of graphics and the range of options, few have even come close to capturing the near-perfect pacing and balance of this online FPS. Ten years later, people are still playing this one.

5. Super Mario Galaxy
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo EAD Tokyo
Platform: Wii
Year: 2007
Did Super Mario Galaxy top Nintendo's revolutionary Super Mario 64? That's open to debate - but what is certain is that Mario Galaxy is the Wii's finest gaming experience. Drawing on more than twenty years of platforming expertise, Super Mario Galaxy masterfully blends an absurdist level design with compulsive and extremely polished gameplay. Stunning.

4. Grand Theft Auto III
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Developer: DMA Design
Platform: PS2
Year: 2001
As genre-defining moments go, few could argue against the indelible mark that Grand Theft Auto III left on PlayStation 2 owners in 2001. Rockstar North, through the combination of tight script, intense action, freedom and violence, gave players a revolutionary new way to experience mature-targeted action games. A true classic.

3. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Publisher: LucasArts
Developer: BioWare
Platform: PC , Xbox
Year: 2003
Before Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare's take on RPGs was as a crafted PC experience, made entirely with a keyboard and mouse in mind. With Knights of the Old Republic, the studio took the action down to the ground, and crafted the best Star Wars story since the original trilogy, to bring in a whole new legion of fans. The genre hasn't been the same since.

2. Shadow of the Colossus
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: SCEI
Platform: PS2
Year: 2005
All boss fights, all the time. Without peer to this day, this masterpiece cut out all the filler of most games to focus on 16 epic, beautiful boss battles. It's like one giant boss rush mode with a touching story and inspired art work. Shadow of the Colossus was one of the most important games of the PS2 generation.

1. Half Life 2
Publisher: Vivendi Games
Developer: Valve
Platform: PC
Year: 2004
Half-Life 2 showed the difference between playing as a character and being a character better than any game ever had before, and arguably ever has to date. It was linear, but never felt constrictive. It told a story without telling it to you. It led you by the hand, but you always felt in control. Not a single great FPS in the last 5 years would have reached its potential without Half-Life 2 showing them how to do it right.

Bs list. COD4 should have been in that list and IMO it should have been grand theft auto San Andreas.

Thanks for posting this,

defiantly worth the read

lol hey man counterstrike took over

I live in a town where people don't game, unless well, you're a gamer.

but that game had EVERYONE in town at EVERY net cafe (we had 3) playing counterstrike. All day everyday they were packed. After counterstrike died, those places closed down, only one runs to this day.

Counterstrike took COD4s spot cause COD4 was game of year 2009, and a few other awards as best ps3 game of 2007, not game of decade.... yet

see what happens in 2017

:p
