Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Metroid Prime (GameCube)
7.  Metroid Prime (GameCube) by Nintendo

Pikmin 2 (GameCube)
8.  Pikmin 2 (GameCube) by Nintendo
The list author says:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC DVD)
11.  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC DVD) by Take 2 Interactive

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (180 customer reviews) | 4 customer discussions

ICO
12.  ICO by Sony

Okami (PS2)
13.  Okami (PS2) by Capcom

Bioshock (PC DVD)

Metal Gear Solid 2 - Sons Of Liberty (PS2)
21.  Metal Gear Solid 2 - Sons Of Liberty (PS2) by Konami
The list author says:
  "The one that Hideo Kojima got right. The balance of cut-scene to gaming is perfect, and the story is engrossing (if a little over-complicated). Will always be known as the definitive MGS."

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Fallout 3 (PC)
24.  Fallout 3 (PC) by Bethesda
