Entertainment Weekly Picks Top 10 Games of the Past Decade

Entertainment Weekly has teamed up with Spike TV to celebrate ten years of the Spike Video Game Awards. What does that mean? It means the staff at EW put together a list of the top ten games of the past decade (2002-2011). According to EW, staff looked at games that "pushed the medium forward."

The ten games include:

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003)
Half-Life 2 (2004)
World of Warcraft (2004)
Shadow of the Colossus (2005)
Wii Sports (2006)
BioShock (2007)
Portal (2007)
Mass Effect 2 (2010)
Red Dead Redemption (2010)
Batman: Arkham City (2011)

You can vote in the poll here. The winner will be announced on December 7 during the Video Game Awards.

What do you think? Is this a good list? Is it missing anything important?

I'm of the opinion that this list is rather good. The inclusion of The Wind Waker is a pleasant surprise. However, there are some notable omissions: Metroid Prime, Metal Gear Solid 3, Super Mario Galaxy, and Resident Evil 4 chief among them.
