Could you explain WHY Mass Effect is no contest? With all of the other ones, I can see why you picked them, but what is really the most important one has nothing backing it up.
@rexwolf2 - Have you played them? It seems obvious to fans of the series.
@Caiters - You had me slowly raising a fist in victory with your Resident Evil 4 shout out, but I quickly reeled it back in when I read "Peggle is like the Tetris of the 00's". Heavens no. Peggle is like the Beanie Babies of the 00's.

Great story, memorable characters, deep character development and interaction, unique settings and weapons, exploring the galaxy and stuff, meaningful decisions that affect said developments, even in the sequels...I could go on.

You're right -- it does deserve an explanation. I was just being lazy. It's up there now.
Turtle dude -- Peggle is like my crack (although Plants vs Zombies is slowly taking its place). Maybe I'm over exaggerating by comparing it to Tetris -- but what would you say is more addicting in terms of a simple puzzle game?

I almost withdrew my fap when you called out Peggle. If there were a noticeable amount of skill involved with playing that game, I'd probably feel some of the draw, but as it stands... nope.
Good call on Indigo Prophecy, though. I was really impressed by it, though it seems few others were.

@rexwolf2: I have to echo the others sentiments here. Just a brilliant series that, while having some hiccups, is just fucking brilliant with the story and characters.
@Corduroy_Turtle: HAHA! I have to agree but I think we are showing our age and curmudgeonly ways a bit.
@Caiters: Nice list. Lotta fun, memorable games up there. Tried Peggle but it bored me. Diff'n Strokes.

If you don't think Peggle involves any amount of skill, I do recommend you try the insane challenges -- I've cleared mostly all of the challenges minus these ones (last ball is the only one I could manage to get). The main game is a piece of cake, though, I will admit.
Neverwinter Nights... yeah, it still stands out as an awesome game! (though I liked Baldur's Gate: Shadows of Amn a little bit more).
@Everybody telling me why Mass Effect is so awesome (mostly Corduroy Turtle): Well, in case you were wondering, I wasn't diminishing Mass Effect in any way. I have not played a single second of either game, but nearly everything that I've heard about it has sounded fantastic. If I ever get a 360, PS3, or gaming computer, Mass Effect will be one of the first series that I check out.
Portal is a Puzzle game? Damn and this whole time I thought it was a reflection of society as a whole, forever yearning for that piece of cake that will never be. The companion cube representing that one friend you don't like.
@SephirothX
you kill it, you kill it dead. Only the best of friends stick it out, so clearly there had been a rift brewing between The 'cube and Chell.

I'm glad your Games of the Decade list managed to fit in Portal and Shadow of the Colossus, because for all my best efforts I couldn't squeeze them into mine without losing anything even more vital! Can't agree with Resi 4 though, I found it got quite repetitive once leaving the village and substituted much of the classic RE atmosphere and tension for more generic shooting. Good game, but far from mindblowing in my opinion.
You guys don't like PEGGLE????
How do you not feel awesome every time you finish a level? Also, yeah it get hard.
Nice list.

You know, I'd laugh at the Prison Break joke, but inevitably I will end up playing that game because I like TV[//url] [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Stevil/the-forgotten-a-gamer-obscura-special-the-x-files-fmv-game-148572.phtml]tie-ins.
