As featured on G4's The Feed, Binge Gamer's Top Ten list for 2000 is out today, from the weekly series that will have a grand finish at the end of the year. Good games that deserved this top ten spot for the year they came out, including some surprise and/or forgotten titles.

In the world of Gaming, 2000 was actually a pretty kick ass year. We were all able to get our hands on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo sold it’s 100,000,000th Game Boy system.

Looking Glass Studios (System Shock 2, Thief series) went out of business. Bungie was bought by Microsoft (to the eternal embarrassment of Apple's Steve Jobs, to be sure), and Red Storm Entertainment became the new property of Ubisoft. Volition, the development house behind FreeSpace 2 and Summoner (and later Saint's Row and Red Faction) was picked up by THQ.

A few of the games that were released in 2000 but did not make this list (probably because I just couldn't fit them) included Chrono Cross, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Banjo-Tooie, MechWarrior 4 and Tekken Tag Tournament. Counter-Strike was also released at retail, but we talked about that one already.

As always, if you are new to the list, be sure to check out the previous entries in the series. Be sure to tell JW why the omission of Homeworld proves once and for all that he is neither a hardcore gamer, or deserving to be breathing our precious oxygen.
