New Challenger: 3 Reasons Why Gaming Will Destroy Itself Part 1
21 hours 57 mins ago
The ever-discerning RPG Codex has a look back at the best RPGs of the last ten years and asks developers in the genre what they would call the absolute best. A great and extensive read for RPG fans, provided you mind all the misinformation.
As we make our way through 2010, what better thing is there to do than to take a look back at the last ten years, browse over the RPGs released during that time and talk about them? Of those RPGs, which were the most notable? Which were the ones that set the scene for the decade and which of those should be forgotten?
No really, does anyone have any better ideas because we're all out of them.
For our purposes, we'll officially declare 1st January 2000 as the opening of this decade. Technical fags will be correct in arguing the decade doesn't actually begin until 2001 but *bleep* them, *bleep* you and we'll do whatever the *bleep* we like, thank you very much.
Plus it lets us include a few games that would have otherwise just slipped by... and given those games' impact on the last ten years, we couldn't really have allowed that to happen.

Comments
To that end, my nomination for RPG of the decade goes to Fallout 3, for giving arguably the best setting and best atmosphere to gaming ever.
[BTW, for the next decade it's ME2. Thanks
Play Fallout and Fallout 2, please.
Also;
Deus Ex forever! LONG LIVE LOOKING GLASS!
