It’s hard to believe that we’ve seen the 2000s come and go and that we’ve entered into the 2010s. As a movie-watcher, a music-listener, a book-reader, and even a game-player I’ve enjoyed a lot of new releases this decade – and either acquainted or re-acquainted myself with the classics of these mediums. I’m proud to introduce you to a list of Zippy Gamers’ favorite games of the decade. [Editor's Note: Keep in mind that different games are released in different years depending on the region.]

The set-up to each participating contributor’s list is simple, for each year of this decade they can pick one game they consider the best – and if they feel necessary an honorable mention or two can be selected with very brief reasons as to why they didn’t make the cut. There are no set criteria for what makes a particular game standout for a particular year. Games may make the list due to interesting ideas and ambitious goal, just for being really entertaining, or being influential.

Enjoy reading the games we found outstanding over this past decade!
