Topic: Your favorite game since 2000

Post your favorite game of the decade here and explain why.
My favorite game is Barbie Horse Adventures: The Ranch Mystery

Why? Because there's nothing I love more than horses. Except adventures with horses.

Why? Metroid is my favorite series.

I was being stupid.
My REAL favorite is Portal

Paper mario the thousand year door, for me, nothing is better

It's got Ninjas. Made of bread. How can that not be awesome?

_{but really, Metroid Prime Trilogy}

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

since 2000...hmm. Tough one. Z:OOT would be before that.
Some of the best of the top of my head (since I'm bad at choosing one)
-Metroid Prime Triology
-Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
-Smash Bros Brawl
-Zelda: TP

Psychonauts or pokemon platinum :3

Shenmue got its Western release in 2000 so I'm going with that.

mario galaxy. far and away

Would this include games that came out in 2000, or just everything from 2001-to-present?

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask if it's the former, and probably Persona 4 if it's the latter.

Tales of Symphonia tied with Tales of the Abyss!!! I love those games so much!

Beaten it over 110 times, but I simply love the Metroid Prime Hunters experience.

Fable 2 for the X-box 360,words cannot describe how much i loved this game,beat it like 4 different times and played it nonstop until my 360 died XD

Animal Crossing for the GameCube.

Yes, games from 2000 count.
go barbie horse adventure!

BIT.TRIP COMPLETE/SAGA. Compilations don't count, you say? Then it's either RUNNER or FLUX. The former is better as a standalone, non-symbolic experience, but the latter is more satisfying as the conclusion to the series, story-wise.

The Orange Box/HL2

I love how almost everyone tl;dr the first post.

You mean how no one explained why? I don't need to because it's like a broken record for me but yeah.
