The A.V. Club rounds up their picks for the best 15 video games of the decade (from 2000 on). I’m a big fan of several of their picks (Fallout 3, Rock Band, GTA) but I thought it was an unusual list. Picking out even 15 was a hard task, especially considering all the various console and PC games released in the last 10 years, but only one nod was given to Nintendo (and that was for a Game Boy Advance game). And as much as I love Fallout 3, I was surprised by its inclusion, maybe because I felt that the earlier Oblivion game from Bethesda maybe did a bit more right. But it’s a subjective thing, of course, and I would be hard pressed to pick out 15 games that I would call “the best” (though I may now be tempted to try).
I’m interested to hear what games you would put in the list.
