Top 10 of the Decade Lists

[crux]

Technically there is no such thing as "year 0" (the count begins at the start of the year, not at the end), thus decades and centuries and millenniums all start on the 1's. But yes, that's overly confusing for the general population, so we just throw it to the defining digit.

Ah the good ole' top whatevers of the decade, well, here is my list, and I am going with my golden rule "One Game Per Franchise", so you are not going to see Half-Life 2 and Portal in the same list.

Would Counter Strike, Team Fortress, and Portal be on the same list, then? They're not the same franchise.

(As good as Half-Life 2 was, Portal should've been on that list.)

Portal is technically a spin-off of Half-Life. Counter Strike and Team Fortress on the other hand are two completely different series altogether.

As much as I love Portal, the main reason it did not crack the top 10 is because its too short.

There's been some speculation on whether the Counter Strike and L4D games tie into Half-Life in any way. That's the main reason I asked.

As much as I love Portal, the main reason it did not crack the top 10 is because its too short.

I thought it was the perfect length. With most other games, I'm anxious to see them end. Not Portal.
