Demon's Souls should be in here. I know there's some muliplayer, but that wasn't a big focus. I was also afraid Kingdom Hearts would be skipped.
I’m sorry, but not including Mass Effect 2 is absurd. If New Vegas counts which came out in late 2010, than ME2, which came out in January 2010, has to count.
WTF? Where's Dead Space? dead space should be #1 , callisto protocol that will be released this year is no better than dead space. I can't believe that you missed it!
Total Overdose, Painkiller, Psi Ops, DMC, Mass Effect, Thief Deadly Shadows, Mafia, FEAR, Bloodrayne 2, Just Cause, Crysis, The Witcher, Far Cry, Prototype,
Right without thinking, I've played for a veeeery long time in PS1 the amazing Abe's Odissey and Abe's Exodus (I believe u write like this, dont remember lol)… I mean, cmon, the guy farted to cheer up his brothers!! xD An amazing platformer in my opinnion!
Diablo 2 is just o e of those games they dont give you shit but they give you just enough that when you find something its like you hit the jackpot the character building the story it was the first game that hooked me like really hooked me up playing for days no sleep trying to find one item diablo 3 the biggest thing with it is they just throw the items at you and its not very rewarding at all there no real consequences to the character building you can just pick what you wanna be at anytime and idk it just is not good at all
Where the heck is f.e.a.r? The A.I alone was fantastic, nothing could beat it back in the 2000s with it's visceral gun fu action. I don't even know what freedom fighters is but f.e.a.r definitely should of been in its place
You missed a few. Every 3D Mario game from that time, Sonic Unleashed, Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4, and Minecraft. I’d say Doom 3, but that would be blatantly false.
Gotta disagree on Fallout 3 being bumped by New Vegas. Fallout 3 had such a wide range of areas and exploring the ruins of D.C., above and below ground, was stunning! It set the tone for the rest of the franchise. New Vegas was so clunky and buggy as to be almost unplayable on both P.C. and console! To be fair, Vegas did have a crazy amount of storylines and DLC content but I was cringing through most of it waiting for the inevitable crash.
The Jak and Daxter series. Jak and Daxter, Jak II, Jak III, and Jak IV: The Lost Frontier were by far my favorite and most memorable. Kingdom Hearts is definitely one that should mentioned.
All of these are missing from your list: Assassin's Creed Hitman F.E.A.R Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon GTA (Vice City) Max Payne Far Cry Mass Effect Delta Force Project IGI Tomb Raider COMMANDOS
Smackdown vs Raw Games were incredible before 2k bought them and became shit, Spider-Man games, well most of them anyways, TBC and WOTLK WoW of course, AC 2 and Brotherhood, Prototype, FF 9 , depressing as it is( it's a lot) , Blood Omen, Uncharted 1 and 2, SW Republic Commando, The Witcher 1( has the best story imo) and of course the absolute masterpiece that is Mass Effect, honestly this period is the best for single player games ever, with a few exceptions of course after that
as we said in the video – there are WAY more than 20 games worth talking about, so we have a PART 2 planned. Definitely let us know what we should include in the next one!

Far cry 2 was amazing
without I.G.I the list is incomplete.
Dead Rising was one of my favorite single player games
Neverwinter Nights: (2002) So many great multiplayer memories.
I would have definitely placed Splinter Cell Chaos Theory in the top 3
