Now that were officially in 2010. We can all look back at the past decade and reflect on which games really deserves a place in your Top Ten list. Here's my list.

10 - King's Bounty the Legend.
9 - Supreme Commander.
8 - Company of Heroes.
7 - Command & Conquer Red Alert 2.
6 - The Sims 2.
5 - Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.
4 - Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
3 - Age of Mythology.
2 - Fallout 3.

And finally...

1 - Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction.

Yes! I have chosen Diablo 2 has my No 1 top game of the last decade. Countless hours have been spent on this action rpg. This game has the highest replay value in my book. Hopefully, 2010 will bring the 1.13 final patch and a new ladder season to restart some new monster killing clicking action.

This is one really difficult list to narrow down. But in the end:

10. Counter Strike 1.6
09. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
08. Alien vs Predator
07. Thief
06. Half Life 2 + episodes
05. GTR 2
04. Portal
03. Fallout 3
02. Mass Effect
01. FEAR

FEAR wins its place as my favorite game of the last decade cos that was the most intense on so many levels. I'd give Crysis an honourable mention, because nothing has ever made me go wow quite as much as the eye candy inside the spaceship.
