TOP 20 OF THE DECADE
Moe's twenty best games of the last decade, scored and ranked. Two perfect 10s, one 9.8, and a lot of arguing in the comments. The classic that tops them all sits under the list, off the scale entirely.

The meanest story a big studio ever shipped, and the best game Naughty Dog ever built. Moe scores it 8.8.
