50 Greatest Games of the Decade, Part I

As 2009 comes to a close, GameStooge is looking at the Greatest Games of the Decade. As you may guess, there were tons of awesome games and they could only rank the top 50. Naturally, some great games will be overlooked, such as Resident Evil: Codename Veronica, Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, Final Fantasy X, Paper Mario, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Team Fortress 2 and Resistance: Fall of Man, among many others. Some of the games have come from now-defunct consoles, such as the Dreamcast, Xbox, and GameCube.

Part 1 counts down from #50 through to #41.
