Why wait for a year ending in nine or zero or one to pick the best games of the past decade? Entertainment Weekly is picking the best games of the decade this year, 2012. It’s not that they wager the world is ending and that we’re wrapping up the final decade ever. It’s Y1 com Game that Spike TV’s Video Game Awards show is running its 10th annual show this year and they want people to decide what was the best y1 com games game to come out in the VGA era. EW has made the first move and picked 10 games. The public—that’s you!—can now vote on the best of the bunch. (The public can also wonder why there’s no Grand Theft Auto, Angry Birds, Halo or Wario Ware: Twisted. Anyone with me on that last one?)cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5964409","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); The choices: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Half-Life 2 World of Warcraft Shadow of the Colossus Wii Sports BioShock Portal Mass Effect 2 Red Dead Redemption Batman: Arkham City Go vote at EW Note: Kotaku is one of the outlets on the VGA advisory board, meaning we vote on Y1 COM nominees for awards given at the show (but not for this Game of the Decade thing).
