Just like our previous top games post we did covering the 2010s, this list was compiled using the aggregate review site Metacritic which I do for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, it just feels way more fair and inclusive than me picking my personal favorites and missing some of the great games I never got around to playing. It also keeps me from taking too much heat for leaving things out, because trust me, I’m just as upset as you that The Sims, Mass Effect, and Shadow of the Colossus aren’t on here!
The last thing I’ll say before we jump in is man did we have quite the tie for tenth place on this list! While I ultimately went with the game you’ll see here in just a moment, it’s absolutely worth noting that Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Half-Life 2, Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess, and Uncharted…
