Not bad. I'd take slight issue with The Sims, but then I remember how much it sucked my life away. Geometry Wars is a GREAT inclusion to that list. |

I'd also suggest: Baldurs Gate Civilization or Age of Empires Total War And even though it's new, I think Dragon Age: Origins will change the genre as we know it. |

I thought Age of Empires was awful, in all its incarnations. For RTS, Starcraft or Total Annihilation. There is no equal. |

Starcraft wasn't a product of this decade I thought. |

Yep, 1998 |

right starcraft was 1998, TA was 1996. I'm just saying. |

Katamari Damacy is not on that list, and I take serious exception to that. |

Wow, I just read the list, I hate most of those games, haha. |

Well, that list isn't about popular, or even "good" for that matter. /Cops the TV show isn't good, but as the first reality TV show it was extremely influential. |

The Sims? Really? Whatever...glad Metroid Prime made that list. Awesome game |

I still say Katamari Damacy is missing from that list. Big hole, right there. |

They should do a list of the modern era, that being when a majority of people have internet access. Then games like Starcraft and WoW get magnified. |
