increased power and performance launches
us to this next step in gaming welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
games of the sixth generation when
taking into consideration the consoles
of this generation we included games
from the Nintendo GameCube Sony
Playstation 2 Microsoft’s Xbox as well
as PC games released between 2001 and
2005 once again just like our 5th gen
list only games that are the best of the
best could make it here so even to make
it onto this list is an achievement in
and of itself commencing virtuous
mission now
number 10 World of Warcraft
once again we’re starting off with a
very strong entry with the success of
battlenet blizzards moved to an
online-only venture seemed inevitable
enter the world of warcraft the MMORPG
to end all others Blizzard did what they
always do and attempted to perfect an
existing genre not reinvented with
millions of subscribers 5 expansions and
supports still running it’s no question
that their venture was a monumental
success Doug Doug number 9 Metal Gear
Solid 3 Snake Eater yo Dawg here you
like cutscenes with a cold war setting
and an amazing emotional story of a
mentor and her student and all the crazy
complexities you would expect from a
Metal Gear Solid game Snake Eater is a
high point for an already massive series
with a Soviet jungle setting which
demands the use of camouflage you’ll be
eating wild animals mainly snakes in
between choking out hapless guards and
saving the world ah
number 8 The Legend of Zelda the Wind
Waker fans stood divided as a cel-shaded
younger link took the stage
was this going to be a game for kids
their worries quickly vanished when this
game introduced us to a beautifully
animated adventure worthy of this
legendary series using the wind waker
baton players controlled the wind and
sail to the great seas exploring
dungeons and battling enemies with sword
in hand plus there’s nothing like that
sense of sailing a vast ocean to give
you the feeling of an epic adventure
number seven star wars Knights of the
Old Republic Bioware’s RPG in the iconic
universe Knights of the Old Republic
remains the best Star Wars game to date
thanks to its engaging story and modest
yet challenging gameplay just the right
balance to get you immersed players have
the ability to fully customize their
characters from clothing armor and of
course lightsabers furthermore you
choose which path to take light or dark
starting the morality choice trend that
would live on in future Bioware RPGs
like Mass Effect and Dragon Age it also
has one of the best plot twists in video
game history
number six Shadow of the Colossus if
there was ever a game that described the
term epic it’s most certainly Shadow of
the Colossus with a grandiose scope
players assume the role of wander a
young man looking to resurrect a
sacrificed girl to do so he must find
and defeat sixteen colossi majestic
Titans that roamed the open landscape
and her each is beautifully designed as
the next one get on your horse Argo find
the Giants weak spot and hold on for
dear life truly this is video game art
dick
number five grand theft auto san andreas
give up the money disarray writer not
this again
ami fool no one else does that small I
feel sorry for your dad GTA was one of
the biggest franchises of the sixth
generation and its best game to date
came with CJ’s tale of redemption as he
faces off against corrupt cops and gangs
alike
besides the crazy storyline missions
there’s a massive variety of things to
do including flying jets parachuting
jetpack riding or maybe just unhealthy
amounts of binge eating it only makes
the fifth spot as the game hasn’t aged
as well as the other titles on the list
but it’s still incredibly fun number
four halo 2 Master Chief defend this
station yes sir I need a weapon right
this way
this high budget FPS assured in the era
where online play became the norm for
living-room consoles halo 2 continues
the story of Master Chief and his fight
against the Covenant the player also
assumes the role of arbiter a plot twist
no one’s not coming while the campaign
was enjoyable what truly made Halo 2
iconic was the multiplayer which not
only made Xbox Live viable but the use
of vehicles energy swords and dual
wielded weapons made it super fun to
boot
number three Resident Evil 4 what are we
gonna do hate to say it but we’re
sandwiched all right quick in that
cabinet the makers of this survival
horror franchise made its most dramatic
change with this title a change that is
still controversial among fans today
still re 4 was able to set a new
standard for all action games to come
tight controls great voice actors and an
over-the-shoulder camera angle that
allowed for thrilling gameplay as Leon
Kennedy you must overcome infected cult
followers to rescue the president’s
daughter in a desolate rural European
town where everyone wants your head
literally number 2 Metroid Prime at a
time when first-person shooters were
nothing more than the tip of your gun
and a life meter Metroid Prime provided
lush environments and a sense of
isolation that created an incomparable
atmosphere truly allowing players to
become Samus through her visor we saw a
classic 2d franchise become a phenomenal
3d journey all while retaining the epic
boss battles suit upgrades and weapons
allowing prime to make its case for the
best game in the franchise
before we reveal our number one game of
the sixth-generation here’s a look at
some honorable mentions
number one half-life 2 ash Gordon
Freeman I couldn’t have asked for a
final hometown in a game that pushed the
boundaries of what you think a videogame
can do half-life to possesses a cleverly
designed world industry changing physics
and excellent audio-visual design once
again assuming the role of dr. Gordon
Freeman you go up against forces that
transcend space and time but let’s not
forget the gravity gun an innovative
weapon that let players interact with
the environment to take down bad guys as
well as manipulate puzzles that made
real-world sense over a decade later and
half-life 2 is still as amazing and
immersive as it was back in 2004 making
it a clear number one for this list and
easily eligible for the best game of all
time
