Destructoid's Top 50 Video Games of the Decade


Recommended Posts

I'm really surprised that Final Fantasy ix is on this list. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but it brought nothing new to the table. It's like they felt obligated to put a final fantasy title in this list.

Have to agree! FF9 was good but didn't offer anything amazing! FFX should have been there instead?

Why wasn't Halo on there?

No Mafia no care. Seriously, one more vote for Mafia.

I couldn't put it at number one because I didn't play all of the other 50 games on the list, but to have no even made the list, that's preposterous!

Also, the list seems to favor Japanese games. I don't just think that's because those games are better, I think it's a clear bias.

Also, no RTCW or Max Payne?

Another guy made a good point that there are no Bethesda games on the list, I agree with him that their work deserved at least one spot on the list.

It's an over rated console shooter. Amazing shooters get admiration from all formats (ala CoD4). IMO ofc! ;)

They should have System Shock instead of Bioshock.

System Shock 2 came out 99, I think they went from 2000 onwards. :(

This list is **** with an overwheling favouritism to nintendo and jap anime games/genre......1 RTS game too, gtfo. I have never even heard of number 48, yet somehow it beats KoToR? I could go on but some of these choices just boggle the mind.

Destructoid this list sucks so bad that if I was to come up with a list of the Worst 50 gaming sites of the decade, you'd be number 1.

Halo was overrated in 2001? Compared to what other game?

Compared to every other FPS on the PC. Return to Castle Wolfenstein was a MUCH better game that was also released in 2001.

The only revolutionary thing Halo did was mainstream FPS games on the console to the casual crowd.

In context to this top 50 list? Metroid Prime is #13

In context to this top 50 list, pretty much all those games were revolutionary, brought innovation to the genre, great storylines, etc. Some I don't agree with and it's mostly the ordering.

Metroid Prime at the time was innovative, great graphics, etc. It's one of the best selling Gamecube games of all time.

Halo was a pretty generic shooter when it was released and still is. It's offered nothing new and innovative to the FPS market.

That is absolute rubbish!

And what makes this list so special?

Oh yeah it's made up by a bunch of people who happen to be part of a

somewhat-known website and thus we have to genuinely care and believe this is a fact list just accepted as a global law.

Yeah overrated by EVERY SINGLE REVIEWER.

Much like MW2. Every reviewer gave it a verbal blow job. But we all know it isn't worth 9.5 even if the MP really good. Half of the game is sub par and too short. But that's another topic.

I concur. Much better shooters had been coming out for years before Halo arrived.

Halo was not overrated, it pretty much set the level of FPS on consoles!

That's because the bar was firmly 6 feet below ground.

On games consoles? Remember this the decade, so stuff before 2000 doesn't count!
