Anyone voting HL2 as the game of the decade obviously has neither taste, nor any god, damn SENSE at all. Apart from massive hype, HL2 did basically nothing new at all when it was launched, compared to all the other shooters that had come before it. It's a confused pre-scripted mess of a game full of invisible walls and gimmicky physics puzzles to force the player to play the way the designers want. On the dam level you can stack crates near a wire fence to jump over the dam to the lake below, except you CAN'T, because there's an invisible wall there. You MUST drive the boat through the open hatch, there's no other way. The same thing happens in several other locations as well.
HL2 is a game that doesn't really know what it is or where it wants to go. Is it a racing game? You spend easily a third of all of the levels driving some kind of vehicle. Is it a zombie nightmare? Ravenholm was a huge and facepalm-inducing left turn in both atmosphere and playstyle. And so on.
And add to that, the fact all you do throughout the game is SHOOT THINGS until they die on unchanging levels that are laid out sequentially in an extremely fixed order, I don't see how that could possibly qualify it as the game of the decade.
You just described a story-driven first person shooter. Congratz.

I'm sorry but im gonna have to side with half life on this one.
Wow is a great game but the story of Freeman (Like all valve games) is great!

Few (or maybe not so few) people reading might like to object and say WoW is NOT the greatest game ever made. But the facts are pretty much there, and they're still playing it.
Wait, what? I agree with you that WoW is a great game, but the best and greatest game of all time is, was and will always be
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
. ^_^
And Chrono Trigger, my first RPG.
Anyways, I voted for WoW because of personal preference.
Pssh, Golden Sun> Both of those.
First rpg :P
SECONDED.
Its nice to know that GS fans are still around on the internet.

Heh, I'd vote, but I would have lost: My top 5 are Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Warcraft, Chrono Trigger/Cross.

Yeah I like old games too...but no matter how great they are, a 15 year old game can't be game of the decade :P
