I found this a pretty good read and am pointing it out to anybody who hasn't read it. Obviouslyt some really good games on this list, some very unrated games too, and quite a few suprises too.
I won't spoiler any of the choices, but will make some comments later, and remember this is just opinions by 1 website, but I have to admit I think they are pretty spot on, hardly any I disagree with

Not a bad list actually.
Wind waker maybe a bit high - Good to see Pikmin 2 in there.

i don't really see the point in this list. of course, for the most part i'd agree that those are the best games i've played during this decade, but putting them in order from 1 to 50 just doesn't make much sense in this case.
HL2, diablo2 and shadow of the colossus are all made out of awesomesauce, but you simply can't compare them, let alone say one is better than the other. they should have simply made the usual lists with genre categories, sleeper hits or "commercially successful, but uninspired" and so on.

and then there's the thing with sequels. gta san andreas, zelda wind waker, mgs3 and final fantasy 9 were all great games when they came out, but considering that they are all sequels which weren't exactly groundbreaking, but got the living shit beaten out of em by their successors makes me wonder how they made it into this list. but hey, it's all subjective. just my 2c.

I don't recall reading anything that stated "console only" It says, in fact, "Top 50 videogames of the decade" Sorry, I didn't realise only consoles had videogames.


=Edit=

Quote:

The only rule we applied to this list --- other than the obvious one of making sure each game was released between 2000 and today -- is that only one game from each series could make the final cut.


The unspoken rule is obviously "we're console fucktards who don't consider the PC platform to be worthy of mention" Joy.

...as is civ3, which is also on the list. and diablo2.

ah, freelancer. this game would win simply because of the time i've spent playing it, we had a full fledged war going on in the student dorm back then. Very Happy good old times, wish they would finally make a true sequel.

Aye. I know this is in the console section, but that article (all five parts) never specifically excludes the PC .. it just, well, "does it" and I find that insulting.

I know it's all "IMO" but seriously, putting Warioware on the list instead of Freelancer is just wrong. Freelancer is fantastic in every possible way and it was such a damned shame that Freelancer 2 was scrapped Sad

Sabin it's the top 50 videogames, written on a console/video game website, in the console section of Nforce =====
I have personally never heard of Freelancer, and these lists are peoples opinions, and we all know opinions are like Sabins, sorry arseholes Wink

I was please a couple of my favourite videogames were on the list, Persona 4, Beyond Good & Evil, Dragon Quest 8 and Okami .......... I was happy and a little suprised that Halo didn't make it on the list

For the most part a list of nice "games you should have played" with some exceptions. WoW for example or (imo) Katamari Damacy which is, I don't know, like a bad acid trip I presume.
But it's nice to see Mother 3 up that high. It's a brilliant game with a brilliant story that never saw the light of day outside of Japan. I am really thankful that there were fans out there willing to translate it.
Most games on the list are pretty awesome (although I have to disagree with Wind Waker but I just coulnd't stand the whole boat system).
Anyway, gotta go, have to play Persona 4 Very Happy

no RPG games (fucking DIABO IS NOT A SHIT RPG MKAY) like Baldur's Gate , NeverWinter Nights , Icewindale , Lands of Lore III , Vampire The Masquerade , etc,...
no sci-fi flight sims games like FreeLancer , Epic , Freespace , Iwar 1 or 2 etc...

Mother 3 is the sequel to Earthbound. If you're old enough to actually have owned a SNES you probably know Earthbound, if not, gtfo :/
If you know and liked Earthbound play Mother 3 it's just awesome in every aspect.
If Earthbound wasn't your style or just didn't like it, better stay clear of this one Very Happy

So it's not a objective list of videogames more a list of console games (except WoW it seem :/ )
AND (personal preference whatever) I could never get into Mario 64 but I loved SMG (although I only played through it once. Getting all the stars again with Luigi just to be able to get the last star? Fuck you Nintendo. Fuck. You.)

These lists are like assholes, everybody's got one. This particular list has too much japanese shit in it for my liking and it missess a lot of great games - GTA IV, Mass Effect, Gears of War. Instead it has a stupid gameboy game in third place and excessive amount of Mario crap.

Don't forget the roots starting all this!

My best experience with games i ever had was with the c64, zx spectrum.
Loved those isometric games as alien8, knightlore from Ultimate (nowadays RARE) was the best of the best.

Earthbound is actually Mother 2 and the only one released outside Japan. Mother 3 is a direct sequel to Earthbound and, again, only in Japan Sad Luckily ROM hackers have translated it into English now ^_^

Muhahah, Metal Slug! How I love that beautiful 2D blaster. The first three entries in the series were sublime, then it all quickly went downhill. Which COULD have something to do with cheap people not buying the Neo Geo games and downloading the roms instead...

The list however really went fubar in the 1-10 range. I mean, Beyond good and evil?! And Mother 3, what the hell is that?

Exactly! Because there's a game you might not know it probably is shite and not worth mentioning.
Beyond Good and Evil was awesome and so was Mother 3. If you haven't played them you aren't exactly in a position to judge them.

That list is made of fail.
CIV III one of the best games?! it was one of the worst civ's created, try CIV IV instead.
Also all those 15 games are better or more original experiences than Deus Ex? I think not.
And this is supposedly better than Deux Ex and it's one of the 3 best games of the decade?! wtf. Not to mention that it's Japanese only.

Personally (and this IS just my opinion, naturally) I rate Elite II over any of the others (Elite or First Encounters) Hell, I even rate Elite II over the X-saga.
