I'm wondering if Half Life 2 included votes for counter strike. On it's own it doesn't really deserve a top 10 mention but if CS is considered part of HL2 then it's a definite top 10.

But CS isn't even part of Half Life 2. CS source is based on the HL:2 engine but is much less a "part" of Half Life 2 than CS is of Half Life. Putting Half Life 2 on the list instead of the original Half Life make no sense whatsoever. Same with Final Fantasy 12, there are earlier games in the same series that are better in every single way except for graphics. If I was writing for a video game magazine and the readers of the magazine came up with a top 10 list like this I think I would quit.
