EDIT: Fixed! That's much better now.
I try to contain my cussing most of the time. but in regard to this:
A button-less handheld from Nintendo is in our near future.
I say FUCK NOT!
To save you time, I've highlighted the games that should not be on the list.
Metacritic - Top 20 games of the decade
1. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 – 98 (Activision)
2. Grand Theft Auto IV – 98 (Rockstar)
3. Perfect Dark – 97 (Nintendo)
4. NFL 2K1 – 97 (Sega)
5. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 – 97 (Activision)
6. Halo – 97 (Microsoft)
7. Metroid Prime – 97 (Nintendo)
8. Grand Theft Auto III – 97 (Rockstar)
9. Super Mario Galaxy – 97 (Nintendo)
10. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty – 96 (Konami)
11. Half-Life 2 – 96 (Valve)

16. The Orange Box – 96 (Valve)
17. Out of the Park Baseball 2007 – 96 (Sports Interactive)

19. Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn – 95 (Interplay)
20. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [GBA] – 95 (Nintendo)
Did HL2 not make the list?
Not my list. the Orange Box was a great value, but Half Life 2 by itself, viewed through the cold gaze of history, doesn't cut the top 20. I probably gave it a 9 at the time I played it, but it doesn't hold up.
I gave it an 8.5 which I think was quite a generous score. Then again I didn't play it at the time.
It's just funny that such a critically loved game isn't even in the top 20.
I need to stop giving things 8.5. That's what GS does!
:cough: #11
Just grabbed:
- Beyond Good and Evil
- KOTOR
- Titan Quest Gold
- Torchlight
- Deus Ex GOTY Edition
- Rome: Total War
My penis is now rock hard.I cannot believe some of those deals. I wish I had a good PC (but don't tell UIF). Oh well its old stuff for me.
I mean...I'm quoting vader.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileDam you and your highlighting!
STill not int he top 10, so it's okay.
"11. Half-Life 2 – 96 (Valve) You suck for not liking this game"
Correction, the game sucks so I don't like it.: P
Bioshock. C'mon guys. Really? I mean if you had not heard music from that era before, or had not read Ayn Rand you might think it was amazing, but it was schlock, utter schlock. Taking the stuff they stole, the gameplay does not stand on it's own.
I'm not particularly attracted to jazz, and have never been interested in Rand's babblings. Without those elements, the game stands on its own as a competent, well paced action game with lots of room for experimentation using plasmids. It's not without faults, but it's far from garbage.
Rand is a moron, and I think it's big band in that game, not jazz. But I tell you what. I am going to go pop it in now and give it an honest try (as XBL my witness).
