Top Ten Games of the 00's

Well I do have to say this was hard to make up this top ten. Cause their were lots of great games that came out in the 00's. From the PS2 to all the way to the PC, it was hard. I do say the 00's will be remembered to be the decade when video games rule the world with an iron fist. It was the decade Microsoft came into the console picture with the XBox & the XBox 360. The PS2 outsolded almost everybody. Nintendo going casual with the Wii. EA coming back from the dead after years & years of overhyped pissy game. The downfall of the NGage and the Gizmodo. World Of Warcraft became a worldwide phenomenon. And it goes on from there. Lets just say the 00's was the decade of video games. Whats more their were shit lots of great games. So lets jump on what are my top ten games of 00's. Remember this my personal top ten, it's not offical or anything. So don't take it personally that your favourite isn't in it or isn't number 1. So anyway here we go:

10. Halo 1
Ahh Halo 1. Yeah sure 2 & 3 were mostly overhyped and weren't as good as people and critics alike make it out to be. But number 1 was an awesome game and one of Xbox's finest. Yeah sure the story was hit & miss but the gameplay and the graphics were something else. It was just a really well done FPS. One of the best in it's genre and influence the whole genre as well. With it's flashy action and it's epic multiplayer which will rule the world in the future (It came out in 2002). Halo 1, top notch Sci Fi FPS that kick almost everybody's arses in 02.

9. Max Payne
Now this game kick arse. The film maybe a rotten piece of shit but the game was FAR away from that. In fact this game had it all. Great story, great action, great gameplay, great graphics (At the time) and most of all it had fucking Bullet Time. Max Payne is just a pressure to play. And good thing that it win so many awards. Because it deserve it cause it's a really wicked game that you'll want to come back to and just unleash hell. Max Payne, awesome stuff and maybe the only game that gets the Bullet Time right.

8. Zelda: Twilight Princess
Out of all the Zelda's in the 00's. This one is the best one. Sure all the Zelda games 00's were awesome as well but this one mostly was more interesting. It was edgey, dark and epic as hell. Sure as good Wind Waker is, it wasn't the game Zelda was about imo. Sure it's a great game but they are a lot of flaws in terms of characters & story imo. I mean why the hell Hyrule is underwater? And who the hell put that piece of shit Tingle in Wind Waker as well? so yeah Wind Waker wasn't the best one, even though it's great. But Twilight Princess feel like a flawless game with a lot of brilliant moments that I lost count. It treated us like adults unlike Wind Waker which was more aimed for kids than Adults. So there you are, Twilight Princess at the 8 spot.

7. Deus Ex
Now here's a brilliant game that came out at 2000. But imo it feel like a game ahead of it's time. It was a Sci Fi RPG FPS, say that three times real fast. It's one of the most influence games of all time. Now don't tell me where they got the idea for Bioshock, Fallout 3 and so forth. Like I said this game was ahead of it's time with gripping graphics, gameplay and a story that's up there as one of the best in any video games. It is still hasn't aged a bit. It still plays like it's brand new. It's up there as one of the best games ever. Deus Ex is one Sci Fi gem you want to play.

6. Bioshock
Speaking of Bioshock, yeah it may influenced by Deus Ex but it's a game on it's own. This game is without a doubt one of the best FPS games ever. Fantastic story, characters, gameplay, etc. It's just kicks arse. There's nothing to hate about this game at all. It's one of the only flawless FPS games out there. Seriously this is one game you wanna get. If you just one FPS game then make it this one. Bioshock, you will fall in love with it.

5. Grand Theft Auto 4
Yeah you think why I left San Andreas out. Well it didn't feel like it was as good as the other games in this top ten. Maybe somewhere in the top 20 but like I said it is hard to pick this list. I have to pick one GTA game and it's 4. Why? Well it had more a better direction from my point of view. It had a great story, lovable characters, top V.O work, the gameplay was fantastic. If anything it feeled like a more polished game than San Andreas really. Even as awesome that game is, GTA 4 was even awesomer. And is in my top ten in the number 5 spot.

4. Mass Effect
:O Yeah you wouldn't expecting this eh? Well even know I praised the shit out of this game. I feel I overhyped it. Yeah sure it is one of the best games of all time but it did had flaws. Still you don't care cause you into this game so much, you don't care. You just enjoy this game as much as myself. Since I talk about this game enough already. I think I'll left you with this. Mass Effect, if you don't like this game I got you two words for ya....Too Bad!

3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Yep the more recent of the bunch is up there as the best of the best. It's without a doubt the best PS3 game probably ever, know it's still early days. The first Uncharted was a great game itself but it had A.I issues to make it groundbreaking in the eyes of some gamers. But the second one raises the bar and becoming the best in the Third Person apartment. Up there already as one of the best games ever. Uncharted 2 is an adventure you don't wanna miss.

2. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
Now this is one game that is near perfection as it gets. Sure they are a lot of great Star Wars titles you make you forgot the dire recent films cause of their awesomeness. But this one is the best of them all. Due to a lot of great RPG gameplay, graphics and maybe the best story in any video game ever. Seriously this game has the story that should be in the recent ones but no they pick Jar Jar Binks over the brilliant twist & turns in KOTOR. Typical. But yeah this game is the best of it's kind and a must have for everyone. Anyone who hasn't got it must get it now, it will please you. KOTOR the perfect runner up.

And my number 1 pick of game of the decade is................

Resident Evil 4
Oh hell yeah I freaking love this game. This game is a must have cause of the epicness that lays within. This game reinfluences the Horror genre and also video games in general imo. And if you think MW 2 is should be here instead then FUCK YOU IT'S RESI 4. What can you hate about Resi 4. Everything about this game kicks arse. The story, the characters, the gameplay, the graphics, etc. It just kicks arse until you shit your pants to the epicness of this groundbreaking game. It is that awesome and a must have for anybody. Resi 4 it kicks ARSE!!!


Well that is my personal top ten games of the decade. Hope yous dear readers enjoy it. Sure I may miss a lot of other games that should be mentioned but again it's hard to pick. Hopefully the new decade is will bring us more awesome games like the ones in the top ten and others that haven't been mention. If they succeed then we'll have a game that maybe better than Resi 4 and others on the top ten. This is Kevster signing off and I'll catch ya later. Thanks for reading!
