2009 is coming to a close, and with it, "the aughts," which means we're about to get flooded with list after list of the best of the decade. It's been a raucous ten years for gaming (some, including me, might call it the best ten years in gaming so far), and Crispy Gamer is
the first to step up and try to pick the best games we've seen so far. In their Game of the Decade showdown,
World of Warcraft is still in the running, up against Bioware's legendary
Knights of the Old Republic RPG, as
the latest post has readers trying to pick the final four choices. If you think our game is more deserving than
KotOR (note that this isn't the MMO, it's the old RPG with
your friendly meatbag hater droid, HK-47), you can
vote for WoW over on this page until Tuesday at 6pm.
KotOR is a great game, but as a decade-defining game, I'd have to think
WoW will pull that one off. After that, though, there's some tough competition:
BioShock and
Half-Life 2 are up against each other,
Halo and
Left 4 Dead are facing off in another bracket, and
Super Smash Brothers Melee and
Shadow of the Colossus (which I guess I need to go play now) are the challengers in the third. I have to say -- as a "Game of the Decade,"
BioShock and
Half-Life 2 are definitely in competition, but if you want to pick a game which has really
defined both the online and casual gaming movements of the last ten years? We'll have to see what the readers choose, but I'd have to think
World of Warcraft is your game.
