Time Magazine has published its top ten video games of the year, with GTA IV at number one.
“It’s a grade-A shoot-’em-up that doubles as an interactive novel and triples as a sly critique of American consumer culture,” says the piece.
Jonathon Blow’s platformer Braid comes in at number two, while LittleBigPlanet takes third.
The full top ten:
- GTA IV
- Braid
- LittleBigPlanet
- Rock Band 2
- Gears of War 2
- Dead Space
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
- Hunted Forever
- FieldRunners
- Spore
Full thing through the link.

Yeah, Star Wars: TFU is a weird choice.

GTA is not a ‘grade-A shoot-’em-up’. It’s a grade-A sandbox game, or a grade-A free-roamer, but there are many, many better shoot-’em-ups.
And yeah, what’s with The Force Unleashed on that list? Top 6 are fair enough really, though I’d only have one or two of them in my list.

No left 4 dead I’m disappointed but very happy about dead space

Any game of the top 6 has would deserve the first place more then GTA, in my opinion.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Hunted Forever, FieldRunners and Spore = not so good
Btw, Guitar Hero World Tour > Rock Band 2
Times does not understand nothing about videogames.

Fieldrunners is awesome-tastic.

Spore ain’t bad either, far from it even. TFU on the other hand…

O…kay. Why have I never even heard of Hunted Forever or FieldRunners?
Psychotext said:
I don’t know them either… I think it’s because we’re gaming’s equivalent of chav scum.
That said, not even Wikipedia knows what they are.
Blerk said:
I… er.. okay. Thanks to Google, I now see why I never heard of them before. Great list, Time. No, really.
