They're both MDs? PhDs surely? I'm shocked they didn't pick: Mass Effect | |
No Metal Gear games? I'm disappointed. And RE4? Come on. | |
Why do you think it's called BioWare? | |
Now they have good taste! Not very surprising, concerning where they hail from, but still. I like how they both included Bioshock- that game was awesome and no matter how many people play it, it can always use more love. As for my top five, I think it's something like this, copied/pasted from another thread: 1. Bioshock 2. Fallout 3 3. Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 4. Halo 3 and Halo ODST 5. Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 Honorable Mention: Assassin's Creed and Dead Space. | |
The same reason Lionhead is called just that, it sounds cool. Unless Mr Molyneux is secretly half lion. | |
they started making gamnese right after they finished med school. and its not cool to choose your own stuff. | |
Mafia Can't choose for the final spot - not in any order although Mafia, KotOR and ME2 are all vying for that number 1 spot. | |
Lionhead was the name of one of the staffer's hamster. | |
Isn't it one of the most highly rated games of this gen and last? What are you "come on"ing about? That err... sounded a little off... | |
Well hey, at least (read: regretfully-insert sobbing noises) I'm not part of Bioware so I can pick some of their games if I want to. Resident Evil 4 | |
Both Bioware's founders consider Fallout 3 a game of the decade? Says all you need to know about the current RPG industry really. | |
1. Mass Effect 2 Not necessarily in that order. | |
Ugh... they both picked BioShock? Really? (Props for Vagrant Story, though.) Anyway... my favorites of the decade would probably be: 5. Mass Effect NOTE TO EVERYONE: Mass Effect 2 was released in 2010. | |
Fallout 3, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Final Fantasy XII. Fallout 3's the only one on my all time favorite list though. | |
Yes, but that's still within the "last" 10 years. =P | |
Vagrant Story? I wouldn't put it in my personal top 5, but you did score a point there, Dr. Greg Zeschuk. Plus one for you. | |
Is this a joke? I know if I was a game developer, I wouldn't pick my own games as my top favorites. Actually, from what I've learned making levels for games, especially with single player levels, by the time your done with it you are so sick of the damn thing you never want to see it again. Honestly, I don't think I could pick my five favorite games for the decade. There are a lot I liked, but "favorites" is a tad hard to choose. I do agree with them though about BioShock, Fallout 3, CoD4, and LBP. Never played Uncharted 2 and have RE4 on Wii, but never really played it much. Never heard of Vagrant Story though. | |
But they are saying "of the decade" (2000-2009). >_> | |
Borderlands | |
But... but... it's in a different decade than the others... BAAAAAH YOU WITH YOUR LOGIC. | |
Even so, it came out in January. Close enough for me, especially with how phenomenal it is. | |
1. Metroid Prime | |
They are, in fact, both MDs, and were at least until relatively recently, still practicing. (You have to practice for a certain number of hours to keep your license, I think.) | |
Oh, I dunno, there's so many | |
Because the truly great Metal Gear was released in 1998? Desert Combat for Battlefield 1942 | |
A fairly bland and average selection. Can't believe they almost exclusively picked newer games (>2007)and hardly any RPGs. | |
"Alright sir, just turn your head and cough." | |
Search bar man. | |
Hmmmm. Turns out I share absolutely no tastes with either of the Bioware founders. Might explain why I've never thought there games were that amazing. | |
MGS3? That game was almost perfect! I guess that's my opinion. I mean, personally I would say MGS4 is one of the greatest games of all time, but I do understand why a lot of people dislike it. | |
Star Wars KOTOR | |
If I remember correctly the first "game" they published was the gastroenterology patient simulator. At least, that is per Wes Borg's immortal song "Bioware Doesn't Suck." | |
Awesome, Vagrant Story was in one of the lists. | |
Mass Effect 1 | |

What Are the BioWare Founders' 5 Games of the Decade?
Do you wonder what Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk, founders of BioWare, consider the five best games of the past ten years? Wonder no longer.
Human beings are kind of silly sometimes, when you think about it. What makes one ten-year stretch different from any other? Why does that one number, ten, stick with us? We establish special significance to these things but... well, okay, I'm rambling. The fact of the matter is, many different gamers, reviewers, and sites (perhaps including this one...) have been talking at length about the best five games of the past decade.
USA Today's Game Hunters has been posing the question to some famous developers like Cliff(y B)lezinski and Peter Molyneux, and this time around it's the medical duo that founded BioWare - Drs. Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk - up in the spotlight. So, Greg and Ray, what were your five favorite games of the decade?
Dr. Muzyka clearly appreciates a good action game, from the "really great pacing" of RE4 to the "beautiful graphics, awesome action shooting and a great story and characters" of Uncharted 2. And what about you, Dr. Zeschuk?
As it turns out, both Dr. Muzyka and Dr. Zeschuk can agree that RE4, BioShock (the "pinnacle of environmental storytelling"), and Fallout 3 (the "best example of world exploration") kick ass. As can most of you, I wager.
What are your top five?
