After deciding on 20 great games of the noughties because of the NGamer forum I decided to add it to my blog, maybe cos I'm lazy but I don't care, it's going on here too so here we go.
20. No More Heroes (Wii) 2008
A genuine surprise for me, absolutely crazy yet that's the appeal, the perfect example at proving the Wii isn't just for family friendly games.
19. Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) 2009
A great service to Batman, the character and the overall darkness of the game made t and some great combat helped it just as much.
18. Luigi's Mansion (Gamecube) 2002
A great opener for the Cube and with my love for Luigi being so strong it helped me enjoy it even more. A fresh idea that should get a sequel.
17. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Gamecube) 2004
Probably the first RPG I seen all the way through, I see now similar it was to the first but this one had the better story and writing anyway.
16. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS) 2009
A real treat for GTA starved Nintendo fans, used the DS wel and never felt like a chore. Was a very welcome return to the old 2D GTA games as well.
15. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) 2007
The best handheld Zelda, great use of the DS and just as charming as Wind Waker. I really look forward to playing Spirit Tracks.
14. Grand Theft Auto 3 (PS2) 2001
The game that made sandbox games what they are, was unbeatable at the time and paved the way for future GTA games.
13. Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (DS) 2008
A strategy game that I was actually able to really get in to and my favourite DS game yet. Very accessible yet enough depth to allow re-runs for mastering.
12. Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (Gamecube) 2003
A brilliant surprise, amazingly fun and cheery yet a challenging platformer that was something different. Despite looking that it might be rubbish it should be played.
11. Animal Crossing (Gamecube) 2004
I waited years for this games and as soon as I got my hands on it I was even more in love with it than before. A brilliant odea that needs to be re-invented for a 2nd Wii outing.
10.Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii) 2007
Excellent controls for an already brilliant game, the definitive Resident Evil that ticks all the right boxes.
9. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) 2008
The best Mario Kart! Online was made for Mario Kart and despite a few poor Wii exclusive tracks the retro inclusions more than make up for it.
8. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii, Gamecube) 2006
The most cinematic Zelda of all, great atmosphere, some fresh idea. A good template for future more mature Zelda games.
7. Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) 2008
Lived up to the hype in my opinion, the story was different from what you'd expect, Liberty City was so full of life and it still is one of my favourite online games.
6. Little Big Planet (PS3) 2008
Such a brilliant idea, even without the level creation it'd be an enjoyable platform however with the level sharing it's an essential for any PS3 owner.
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (PS2) 2003
Probably the most flawless entry in the series, not the best now but definitely felt more special at the time than the current one does.
4. Super Smash Bros Melee (Gamecube) 2002
Just beat Brawl due to how much I played it at the time, Brawl definitely wins on content but Melee probably had the better stages.
3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) 2009
The game of 2009, great story, characters and near perfect gameplay as well as added online play and lots of action make it even better than the already great first installment.
2. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) 2007
Does exactly what you expect from Mario, full of brilliant moments, amazing levels and brought together with some top nothc platforming.
1. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Gamecube) 2003
My favourite of all time, amazing graphics, sound, story, gameplay, utterly charming and just brilliant from start to finish.
