Another Map of North American Indians. Canada Natives, like to be referred to as: 'First Nation.' Also, many Indians of the North America refer to it as 'Turtle Island.' I like that, but accept whatever terms, as long as respect is shown for all the 100,000's of thousands of Bands, Villages, Tribes which make up OUR continent. My Tribe in Eastern Washington, Colville, isn't listed, because the term or name, Colville isn't in fact Indian, but a White Man. Our Tribe is the Colville Confederated Tribes, 12 bands forced to Relocate on our Colville Indian Reservation, by Presidential Executive Order in 1872. This was Common, at least, our Peoples were able to stay in the Pacific NorthWest our Home for tens of thousands of years. Many Tribes or Bands weren't so Lucky? Chief Joseph from Oregon, Idaho and Washington, chose our Tribe after years in Oklahoma, to move and Die on our Reservation, because all of his Lands were Stolen from him and his People after the Government broke, Treaty after Treaty?

The first Democracy Circles came from the Maya people (see the book Lightningbold by Hyemeyohsts Storm) which descendants wandered throughout the America's and Canada (Turtle Island). Also Bruce E. Johansen wrote in his books FORGOTTEN FOUNDERS about their inspiration of democracy for the world with their Council Circles including the Wise Woman of their nation.
comment on the thread; "...the buffalo herd and salmon runs alone would still be feeding the entire turtle island, and the deer herds, moose, caribou herds, fowl, fresh water, and great lakes fish, wild rice, corn, beans, squash, we could feed the world. It only took them 400 yrs to destroy all the abundance, clever folks."
The first genocide in Maanu (The Americas, also known as Abya Yala by the South American Indian tribes of the equatorial regions, Ixachitlan by the Mexikan tribes, and more recently Turtle Island by Canadian/First Nation tribes of the lower lands) was committed against the Olmecs. The people who were later called the Maya, Aztecs, etc. were the re-groupings of the rest of Olmec society that was now a mix of Blacks, [Inuits] and Vikings", Master Naba added. "Even before mixing with the Vikings, there was the mixing between the Kemetic tribes known as the Olmecs and the Inuit tribes".

A misused gift that Native cultures of Turtle Island shared centuries ago with the world may finally be recognized for what tradition has always known it was. Tobacco is rising again as medicine. And it is being enlisted to combat some of the most fearful ailments on the world's health horizon. Much in the recent news is the experimental drug ZMapp, the only drug currently available to fight Ebola. But tobacco may also be a key in creating a gel that may prevent HIV transmission, in growing vaccines against cholera or cervical cancer and even in mass-producing human collagen to repair bones and joints. These are just a few examples of the research underway around the world using tobacco. Tobacco has always been considered a medicine in traditional culture. A gift of the Creator, it has been used prayers or as an appropriate "thank you" to elders or others for knowledge or skills shared. "Tobacco, in its pure form, is medicinal. It is one of the four sacred medicines," said Derek J. Bailey, forme ...

Your weekly Michigan fishing report, If previous years are any indicator, fishing pressure from boat anglers will decline with the onset of the archery deer season. Anglers are reminded that lake trout season on Lake Huron and northern Lake Michigan closed on September 30 but remains open on the waters between Arcadia and New Buffalo until October 31. Splake season is open all year in Lake Michigan. SOUTHEAST LOWER PENINSULA Lake Erie: Perch fishing was good but the warm weather did slow the bite. The better fishing continues straight out from Stony Point in 24 to 26 feet. The fish are moving in slightly when the water cools and back out deeper by midday. The bite has been light and the fish are near the bottom especially where there are rocks. A small number of bigger fish were caught off the beach at Sterling State Park in 14 to 16 feet. Both large and small fish were taken near the E-Buoy, Turtle Island and the Raisin River Buoys 1 & 2. Anglers are still waiting for the walleye to move back into ...
Mythology Tales about the Bakunawa say that it is the cause of eclipses. During ancient times, Filipinos believe that there are seven moons created by Bathala to light up the sky. The Bakunawa, amazed by their beauty, would rise from the ocean and swallow the moons whole, angering Bathala and causing them to be mortal enemies. To keep the Bakunawa moons from completely being swallowed, ancient Filipinos would go out of their homes with pans and pots, and would make noise in order to scare the Bakunawa into spitting out the moon back into the sky. Some of the people in the villages would play soothing sounds with their musical instruments, in hopes that the dragon would fall into a deep sleep. Thus, the brave men of the village hoped that while the dragon was hypnotized by the musical sounds they could somehow slay the dragon. Although the dragon was known as a "moon eater" it was also known as a "man eater". Other tales tell that the Bakunawa has a sister in the form of a sea turtle. The sea turtle would ...

Lodge Songs! Today is a good day to sing! The members of Wolf's Heart Lodge (both the Sons and the Daughters of the Earth) love to sing and drum! Creator placed the drum within our chest and the fire in our voice to reach out in a joyful way. Below are a very few of the many songs we sing together at Circle (and elsewhere when asked!) Sometimes we sing in a First Nation's language, but more often in English. Even if you do not understand the words of a song offered up in Cherokee, Lakota, Crow or Delaware... you may come to be able to sing with us in time just by hearing it enough times in your heart. As we believe that drumming, chanting and singing are ways of Sacred Prayer, opening yourself up to the rhythmic vibrations of the beat and the cadence of the words is more important that your personal language skills or your known bloodline. Our Lodge is one of inclusion. With the Elders teachings, we offer the traditional ways of many indigenous tribal nations (from Turtle Island). This we do to educate an ...
Jesus and the Great Spirit by Mitakuye Oyasin Ever since the first white man landed on our shores, the Natives of Turtle Island have been hearing stories about Jesus. While Native Americans could never understand why Jesus was murdered by the people he came to help, they could understand and believe that the Great Spirit had become a man to show people how much he loved them. The childlike nature of the Indians, together with a deep and abiding faith in the Great Spirit, a faith that was common to all Native American Nations no matter what name they put on the God they worshipped, made them ready listeners to the faith-stories of others. It was not just little children that Jesus was referring to when he warned his skeptical adult listeners that, unless they became like children, they would never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He was referring to the childlike and trusting Natives of the world who would quickly and wholeheartedly hear and accept the message of God's love for all people. But there has been, ...

As many of you are aware that the federal government is introducing bill c-10, which is better know as the 'tackling tobacco allocation act'. This bill would make it illegal for First Nations and First Nation people to buy, sell or trade tobacco without taxation (taxing First Nation for traditional medicines). This bill, if legislated would put First Nation people at risk for the distribution of tobacco. Tobacco (Samaa) was the first medicine given to the Indigenous people across Turtle Island. Samaa has been used by Indigenous peoples for hundreds of years before federation. Our ancestors love the smell of our natural medicines. Lay down your Samaa tomorrow or tonight and stand with our brothers and sisters in spirit on parliament hill on Wednesday, May 14th, 2014 at 1:00 pm as they stand in opposition to bill c-10. What would Tecumseh say or do if the government told him that he could not buy, sell or trade tobacco? What would the great war Chief Pontiac do? We will honor the spirits of our ancestors .. ...
Re: the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls. I feel terrible about that, and that conditions that exist for such a violent act to take place and also be repeated. Total *** However... here on Turtle Island, THOUSANDS of Native American women and girls have disappeared or been trafficked, particularly in Canada and along the US border, and around the oil boomtowns in the Dakotas. And where is the public outcry about that? I have not seen a single person on my friend's list even broach that subject who wasn't Indigenous, and it's right here in our backyards.
SOUTHEAST LOWER PENINSULA Lake Erie: Water temperatures were in the low 50's but strong winds have resulted in poor water clarity. Walleye are being caught in the early morning or at dusk near Turtle Island in 10 to 12 feet or Brest Bay and Stony Pointe in eight to 10 feet. Try using hair jigs in John Deer green or black and white patterns as well as trolling minnows or jerk baits. Good numbers of catfish and bass have been caught from the Hot Ponds. Some big largemouth bass were caught off Bolles Harbor. Huron River: Is producing white bass and some walleye. Many are fishing up near Flat Rock. The steelhead action has slowed. Detroit River: Is producing walleye for those hand-lining or jigging in the lower river and the Trenton Channel. Most are using Wyandotte worms with a big minnow. Hot colors were orange, chartreuse or antifreeze. No word on perch. Portage Lake: Near Pinckney had few anglers. The opener of the catch and release bass season was slow.

Please note that Pam Palmater has not endorsed this page nor is she aware that I am setting it up. I am just an individual who feels that she would be a fantastic leader for the AFN. I am not an Indigenous person. I am an educator who feels that Pam has the strength, tenacity and right vision to fight Harper, to get the First Nations Assimilation Act rescinded, and unite the 617 Indigenous Communities towards a better Turtle Island for All! Please "Like" and Share, I feel that if we can demonstrate support perhaps Dr. Palmater will see that the grassroots want her to be the rightful leader of our indigenous brothers and sisters!
The focus of this fb page is to facilitate the gathering of information and data on the American genocide which began in 1492 and in many areas continues to this day. This is not to place blame but to work to clarify the numbers of and diversity of The Indigenous People of Turtle Island. This is important work to document in a data base intentional massacres, population decline, and population loss due to disease often intentionally inflicted and intentionally untreated as discussed in 'a National Crime" regarding residential schools in Canada

KILL BILL C-33 (FCNFEA): Grateful some of our chiefs from Treaty No. 6 went to Ottawa today to speak and voice opposition and to kill Bill C-33 and especially grateful to see oppostion across Turtle Island. The more chiefs, nations, and grassroots who share opposition the better. Seeing verbal and written opposition coast to coast.

SMUDGING AND THE SACRED HEBRS Back in the time of Spirit, Ceremony and Belief, Great Spirit gave to Turtle Island's Indigenous People four sacred plants. These medicines were meant to be used in prayer and for other peaceful purposes. When combined the smoke carried our prayers to Great Spirit. Today, what is often called a 'Sweetgrass Ceremony' opens many gatherings, powwows, meetings, conferences anywhere people are gathered together in a good way. The Native American "Azinwakiya" {Hah-szeen-whah-kee-yah} "Azidya" {Nakota} "Azilya" {Lakota} Right of The Smudge is the action of fanning or pushing the smoke over you to create harmony mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically, for this is the Native American Right that unites our Spirit, Mind, Soul and Body. The "Azinwakiya" has been compared to the use of Holy Water within the Catholic Faith...

W Scottsdale
7277 East Camelback Road, Scottsdale, AZ
0.4 mi from
The location was solid. Right in the middle of all the clubs and bars. The concierge was wonderful. She rocks. B The Mega Suite and the additional rooms were dirty. It was pretty gross. Stains and uncleaned furniture. The customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. We had a bachelor party and spent well over $5000 for two nights...you'd think they would go out of their way to make us feel special...complete opposite. They treated us like we were in junior high. They showed up with security guards to the Mega Suite (which is like a rockstar's second home) and made us leave because we were too loud. Keep in mind it was ten guys playing beer pong in a very large room (harmless) and the club downstairs was going full blast...strange that we were being too loud (we weren't). Initially they wanted to kick us out with no refund, but I kept calm and talked them down even though we were doing nothing crazy. At the pool, they treated us like crap as well. It was very odd. The whole staff out there felt super entitled...it was so lame. I've been to a decent number of clubs and the attitude here was bad...definitely the worst for a hotel. Had I known you can't hang out in the biggest "party" suite and actually party...I would have gone to a different hotel. Make that clear before people stay at your hotel. Finally...news flash...you're a hotel, not a club. You're goal is make your guests feel welcomed, not harassed. The GM at this hotel was the worst of them all. Time for the W chain to clean up management at this place. He has let this hotel fall to 1-2 star level. Absolutely awful.
Rooms were very nice and modern and had floor to ceiling windows. I really liked the design and the rooms are designed creatively so each room has somewhat of a corner window. The shower was also very nicely designed and roomy. The atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. Elevator music and pool music were all excellent. There are pool parties on Saturday afternoons, I guess it's a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you're looking for. It was a little too "college-y" for my tastes. I would have preferred something a bit more "lounge-y" but that's just personal preference. If you're planning on enjoying the pool, don't go on a Saturday as everyone is packed in like sardines. Front desk staff was not very helpful upon first arriving. There was a line and a 2nd staff member came up and stood at her desk. She looked right at us and then proceeded to just stand there. It took us asking if she was open to get her to help us. Also, they need to update their in room audio systems, they were only compatible with iPods and iPhones with the old 30 pin connectors. Seriously guys? That was 4 years ago. Use a more standard format like audio line in or Bluetooth so everyone can enjoy. Water pressure in the shower was not the greatest. It was barely even coming out toward the end of my shower.
Bar, restaurant, staff, spa, room, room service Not a single thing!
I enjoyed the Spa because the staff was very kind and mellow. After the found out it was our anniversary, they upgraded our room to have a king size instead of two queen beds. They also sent chocolate covered strawberries to our room. This visit was more exciting because of the Spa. The hotel was only decent and a bit dated. I didn't like the already included gratuity charge, costing around 25% of my already expensive Spa package. The hotel room was decent but they aren't very modern. Hotel towels are rough and over-bleached from years of use. Housekeeping left trash from previous visitors in plain view. Also a bummer that this hotel hasn't upgraded to free continental breakfast like many others.
I liked the location. It was close to Scottsdale Fashion Square, restaurants and bars. The pool was nice and has late hours, and the rooms had doors that opened up to your own private patio. I agree with others that have said you're paying for the location. Overall... I've stayed at equally priced, if not cheaper, hotels with better customer service, hotel amenities and accommodations. The pool is open from 6 a.m. to midnight. That's great except they closed the bar around 6 p.m. and you had to walk into into the hotel lobby bar to order drinks (per the pool bar staff). I would have liked to dry off before walking into the hotel lobby for a drink, except they ran out of towels. We asked twice for towels and they the pool/bar staff said the towels were on their way. We never got any towels. The only great service we received was from the guy at valet. I will not be booking at this hotel again.
The location was great and the hotel offered a shuttle to anything within a 3 mile radius! Tip required Wish the empty glasses in the common areas were picked up more often.
Close enough to stadium, great area to bike, easy walk to dining,shopping & stadium. shuttle for guests need lights on bikes
Pools and facilities are superb Wifi sketchy, rooms a bit dated
The pool area gets a 10. The lobby gets a 10. The rooms get a 6. The mattresses are cheap motel quality, which is regrettable.
The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The pool is beautiful with attentive staff poolside. The restaurant at the hotel was delicious.
Everything Nothing
I was very displeased with how the resort presents themselves on their website versus what this was in reality. Nothing close. It was NOT worth the price that we paid!!!
I never leave reviews. But given the price of this 'resort" I thot important to leave a comment. At checkin they told me $25 will be added for amenities - I was thinking like spa and other advanced features. He said no, its for parking, pool use and internet. Things you'd think would be included with the base price I was paying already. I just said ok and paid. In my room my internet was so poor I could not open a proposal I had to review for the next day - instead being prompted to upgrade for faster internet at 14.95! I left and went to a Starbucks to complete my work. Later that night I was in my room and a dog next door started barking non-stop.I called the front desk and they had no other place to put me... but did offer me a refund and could leave if Priceline approved. Which they did approve. So I left. They need to reassess things. I would have put up with these things if it were a Motel 6 - which it was far from. Never again.
The staff, especially the shuttle drivers, was outstanding. So very helpful and personable. We liked the pool and the resort was so close to almost every place we wanted to go. The rooms were a little outdated but we were told everything was going to be updated within the next year. The drinks at the pool were not all that good so we mixed our own.
Not Much. Front Desk staff referring to me as "Boss" and "Brother"...having my room changed without informing me, trashy property, ugly decals on doors, LOUD all the time, poorly working plumbing. Just a poor place to stay at any price...especially for $145.00. I think $45.00 per night is still too much for this place. No Thanks.
You literally can hear a pin drop out of the bathroom and bower and the shutters don't block out the sun! Just an odd hotel.
The spa tub is amazing, the atmosphere was very relaxing.
I liked the wood floor instead of carpet. No microwave in room, ice hard to find.
no coffee or tea machine in the room; everyplace has that nowadays.
Good location, free parking, free coffee in the morning at the front desk. Small swimming pool with long opened hours. I have booked nonsmoking room, but the tobaco smell I felt during all 3 my nights staying in the motel. The very first day of my staying I asked for a hairdraiyer, but unnfortunately all these days I didn't see it.
The motel room was very reasonably priced and covered the bases of what we needed
A good motel in an attractive part op scotsdale for een good price The size of the room could larger
The proximity to the event I was attending. I was put in a smoking room when I had asked for non smoking. This was fixed with some trepidation only because one of the guests has a heart condition and can't stay in such a room.
Location was good for what I needed No, most everything was fine.
Staff was very kind, they did solve every problem Once the room was not maked up
The cost and location by the mall Two cramped for two beds. should only have one
Conveniet location. Bed very comfortable. Bathtub was extremely slippery for showering/ no mat.
down town location,inexpensive,great staff,

Comet Lovejoy
December 18, 2011 by staff
Comet Lovejoy, Comet Lovejoy, discovered a couple of weeks ago survived what astronomers figured would be a sure death when it danced uncomfortably close to the boiling sun.
Comet Lovejoy was supposed to melt on Thursday night when it came close to where temperatures hit several million degrees. Astronomers had tracked 2,000 other sun-grazing comets make the same suicidal trip. None had ever survived.
But astronomers watching live with NASA telescopes were shocked when a bright spot emerged on the sun's other side. Lovejoy lived.
The comet came within 75,000 miles of the sun. For a small object often described as a dirty snowball, that brush with the sun should have been fatal.
As a side note, 75,000 miles from the sun is smack in the middle of the hottest part of the solar corona, which is around 1 to 3 million K degrees hot. It is simply impossible for any ball of ice to survive that kind of heat.
Astronomers say it probably did not melt completely because the comet was larger than they thought.
The frozen comet was evaporating as it made the trip toward the sun, "just like you're sweating on a hot day," Pesnell, project scientist for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said.

Food for thought;Books;Primary
Practical and down to earth, this book is clearly written from considerable classroom experience of using the Philosophy for Children programme in the primary school. It is easy to read and, for teachers who have not yet helped their pupils to develop their thinking skills, it will be an ideal introduction. The final part of the book is on applying the approach across the curriculum.
Too many schools areover-concerned with transmitting factual information and measurable skills. The whole idea of teaching young people to think for themselves and listen to the views of others is frequently neglected. As Fisher says: "Research studies show that the questions teachers use most often are closed, factual type questions . . . the teacher knows the right answer and is testing recall of knowledge."
Socratic questions are held to be open questions, and this book claims to encourage Socratic teachers. But Socrates asked questions to arrive at very specific answers. He was a Platonist (indeed, most of what we know of Socrates comes from Plato, and many ideas attributed to Socrates may be those of Plato) and Plato believed in truth - truth about good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and God. Truth was not merely constructed but needed to be learned. None of this comes over in the book.
Philosophy has a long history and is much more than just "getting people to think" - it also involves getting people to think well. This includes helping them master arguments from the past and to see their relevance today, helping them to challenge their own preconceptions and presuppositions and to see that the position adopted by all members of the thinking circle may be mistaken.
Genuine philosophy is difficult. It means understanding detailed arguments and probing and evaluating their weaknesses and strengths.
This is, therefore, a worthwhile and useful book, and my criticism is not of what it does, but of its failure to recognise the need to go further. This may demand real Socratic teaching that goes beyond helping young people to think for themselves and brings them to understand, probe and evaluate philosophical argument applied to contemporary issues.
This is hard work and, yes, involves learning. Children cannot be expected to reinvent the wheel - at some stage they need to understand the arguments of great minds and then, of course, to decide for themselves if the arguments are valid.

Hi Celeste,
The Joint National Committee defines four blood pressure categories.
Very High Range - Stage 2 Hypertension

If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
High Range - Stage 1 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 140 - 159 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 90 - 99 mm Hg
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
Caution Range - Prehypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 120 - 139 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 80 - 89 mm Hg
Take action!

Systolic (top) blood pressure below 120 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure below 80 mm Hg
Your blood pressure of 140/100 falls within the very high range and warrants treatment ASAP. I encourage you to consult your physician.

This report on the status of educational research in the United States today is one of the more significant publications on this subject in recent years. Prepared by the Committee on Educational Research of the National Academy of Education, its pertinence to other behavioral sciences and the research carried out within their disciplines makes this book less parochial and more intellectually provocative than most similar efforts.
Because of its concern with the confusion in educational research and the importance of such research to educational practice, the Academy, as one of its first actions after its founding in 1965, appointed the Committee on Educational Research to explore the problem. The editors of this volume, Cronbach and Suppes, served as Co-Chairmen of the Committee for the two years of its existence.
Specifically, the Committee was charged not only to study all the issues concerned with the question of educational

Foreman, who leads the nation with 1,863 rushing yards (averaging 186.3 rushing yards per game), joins Florida State's Dalvin Cook and San Diego State's Donnel Pumphrey as the three finalists.
Foreman is seeking to become the third Longhorn all-time to win the award. Ricky Williams was the award's recipient in 1997 and 1998 and Cedric Benson claimed the honor in 2004.
A native of Texas City, Texas, Foreman has rushed for 1,863 yards through 10 games, the most in the nation. He has eclipsed 100 yards in a school-record and FBS-best 12 consecutive games, breaking 1977 Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell's record for the most in school history. Despite missing a game early in the season against UTEP, his 1,863 rushing yards rank third-most in UT history already.
Dickson is up against two other finalists: Ohio State senior Cameron Johnston and Utah sophomore Mitch Wishnowsky.
The winner is announced at the College Football Awards in Atlanta on Dec. 8
Dickson, a native of Sydney, Australia, is averaging 47.3 yards per punt through 11 games, the fourth-best average in the country and best in the Big 12 Conference. The school record for best punting average in a season is 46.6 yards per attempts set by Russell Erxleben in 1976.
He has registered 22 punts of more than 50 yards this season, which is second-most among the three finalist. Additionally, Dickson has four punts of more than 60 yards this season with a career-long of 64 yards.

Ghost Codes 004
Break pops a rhythm tab: pure feverzoom. No clocks, no maps. Only the taste of Dusk on his tongue, waiting for the night to roll in.
Bumps into Candy, standing by the X-Ray Parlour. Misty eyes, neon lip-gloss, electric hair frazzle worked off a battery in her pocket.
She looks a charm, so corporeal it hurts. "Just checking out my veins," she says, "Making sure I'm clean, you know? Still alive."
"Candy, you wanna catch a bite?" A plastic sheet slides out the parlour slot showing her lungs and heart and other organs. No shadows.
Candy blows a kiss and leaves. Break stands there frozen: he sure would like to own that X-Ray for a night or two. Total bliss-freak!
Down at his feet old transparency plates lie discarded. All he needs is to earn some credit, get himself reprogrammed, street style.
Maybe then the Real-Life Human Girls would love him. I mean, what's a young, well-dressed, Synthetik Angel supposed to do these days?

Lists like this are usually quite difficult, especially when you are supposed to identify the best. These are the top 10 games that influenced us in the last decade.
Halo: Combat Evolved
The game was a revelation for the console FPS. It introduced an interesting storyline, massive levels, great gameplay mechanics, and an addictively fun multiplayer into a market that had very little competition. As a result, the franchise thrived, spawning squeals and setting standards for other developers to follow.
Like many others, Halo was the reason we bought an Xbox and had LAN parties every weekend. We contribute Halo as the game that made us the gamers we am today; willing to stand in a midnight release-line for hours just to get our copy sooner and call in sick the next day for no better reason than we just did not want to stop playing.
World of Warcraft
This is probably the single biggest game of the last decade. With upwards of ten million players across the world, three different expansions, and tons of other content, it's easy to see why World of Warcraft (WoW) has lead the industry since its birth in 2004. It is the juggernaut of the MMORPG industry, and nothing has come close to making it even teeter. WoW has it right, the gameplay is simple enough that most anybody can get into it, as shown by the age factor of Pre-teens to late seniors that regularly play, but is complex enough to keep most anybody coming back. And with the launch of Cataclysm Blizzard was able to bring back many of the old souls who had been gone for years as well as provide a renewed interest in almost anybody actively playing and those who'd never touched it.
We've been playing the game off and on for most of the last 5 years and it still has our fickle interest. For all the time wasting grindiness that you get out of the game, we still have fun with it. Blizzard has done a good job injecting variety into some of the most tedious tasks. It probably helps that we're also more of a PvP junky, as we would go nuts having to deal with some of the BS needed to do any high end raiding.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
There have been few moments in video games as jaw dropping as when you first step out of the sewers in The Elder Scrolls 4. The world was realized beautifully, and brimming with caves, ruins, and towns to explore. It was the first time we played that gave light to all the possibilities that a "next-gen" game could offer.
Besides jut being graphically impressive, TES4 offered up an epic main story, great guild quests, and a number of rich expansions. We had difficulty finishing these though, because of the always abundant of caves or ruins that needed exploring.
Shadow of the Colossus
This game changed the scope of what a platformer could be. Instead of the goofy themed worlds of Sonic, Mario, and Donkey Kong, we got one open desert expanse with twelve individual levels/bosses. Shadow of the Colossus defines what epic really should mean. From the first time you see one of the colossi and realize how you defeat it to the final boss, larger than any three of the others combined everything is truly epic in scale and story. Yes, the story is minimal, but you get so much out of the subtlety. This was easily our favorite game for the PS2. For all the reasons described above and more. We didn't actually own any of the consoles from that generation, but we went out of our way to borrow the game and console from a friend because of what this game was.
Rock Band
We shamelessly admit that we are those kids who played Guitar Hero until our fingers gave out, and that is why Rock Band is on this list. While Guitar Hero may have introduced the modern gameplay mechanics and standard guitar controller, Rock Band perfected it. Harmonix supported the social aspects of the game; they created instruments and parts that were easy for beginners to pick up, and they started the Rock Band Store, which allowed users to create song lists tailored to their own tastes. In our own social click "Rock Band night" has become a regular occurrence; a reason to get together, rock out, and generally act like idiots.
Super Mario Galaxy
This is one of the best platformers ever. While that is awesome, it is not the only reason this is on the list, otherwise this would be the sequel. Super Mario Galaxy was Nintendo saying, "Yes, we can still make real games and they will still blow you away." Many gamers had thought Nintendo to give away merely to the silly waggle party games that have overloaded the Wii. Super Mario Galaxy restored our faith in them.
Platformers are our favorite type of game. Above anything else, a good platformer will keep us coming back again and again (Rob can do the first level of Super Mario World blindfolded). Super Mario Galaxy is one of the greatest we've ever played in the genre and it's not likely to get trumped any time soon.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
We have always been a fan of the GTA series, but for being a vast sandbox with loads of place to see and side missions to do we haven't really been able to immerse ourselves into the game, except for Vice City. The franchise's fourth installment struck the tone of the 80's perfectly with its almost cartoony cast of self-absorbed materialist characters, great music, and its special brand of humor. From both a graphical and gameplay standpoint Vice City isn't anything special compared to its successors, but it's the only game that has a unique feeling world in the franchise, and that's what keeps bringing us back to it.
Civilization 4
Sid Meier understands sims. The man has created most of the best games in the genre. Civ 4 is just the best of that. Bringing a civilization from the nomadic era to the future is a challenge, a fun one. Spawning two expansions and spin off based on a classic game of Sid's, this has stood as a testament to what he can do.
We're not normally a fan of the Turn-Based Strategy, I prefer an RTS, but when our buddy had Chairman Mao asking him as Joseph Stalin for Communism I was sold. I have spent many nights up way later than I should, repeating the phrase "Just one more turn."
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Up until Modern Warfare the COD franchise was regarded as a WW2 shooter, a horse that had been mercilessly beaten. By bringing the game into modern times and incorporating a semi-plausible storyline Infantry Ward gave the franchise a much needed breath of fresh air. From a gameplay standpoint, MW is nearly perfect and has since been copied to many other games as a result. In addition, the campaign offered up a surprising amount of variation between action and stealth, and most importantly the multiplayer introduced a number of innovative mechanics like kill streak rewards, a leveling system, and an addictive array of game variants.
The Orange Box
This choice was initially just Half-Life 2, but after thinking about, and realizing the only reason we have the game is because of this, we decided the full set was worth mentioning. Valve is an amazing company, willing to give out not one or even two games, but three fully realized games and two more expansions for one on a single disc, at the same cost as an average single game. Top that off with the fact that all of the games are at the top of the heap and we have an obvious winner.
The Half-Life series takes immersion to an entirely unprecedented level: no cut scenes and an entirely silent protagonist. The story is told through what you see and who you meet. You have a companion that gives you many of the details otherwise Valve just points you in the proper direction with visual cues. Then we have Team Fortress 2, a sequel almost as awaited as StarCraft 2. Class based multiplayer FPS is with a cartoony bent that is just fun. Finally, we come to our favorite part, the unique experience that is Portal, a mind-bending, physics warping, first person puzzler. We flat out love this game.

Colter Palen
Behold! The callused conceptions of a conceded mind whose depths have been caressed and convexed into contours unknown. It is I, the confused young coot with a carefully concocted conspiracy to take this corroded circle to the black chasms of our consciousness. There is no need to cower though, for I have contrived this coup to be an occurrence without cringing or crying. It will be a cause for celebration, an occasion and a careless campaign. So come and chart close behind your carnivorous corporal down this chilling crypt and consider not what you construe as inconsequential. Before crossing though, our comrades and cohorts, before we chance this correspondence, let me introduce myself, and I must confess that it is considerably copacetic to meet you. My name is Colter.

Wow. No Uncharted? No Final Fantasy? Hmm.
Final Fantasy in the 00's was rather hit or miss for a lot of people. I can see how someone would skip it since there are a lot of people on polar opposite sides.
FFX – some hate. (I love it.)
FFX-2 – A LOT hate. (I love it.)
FFXI – not many played. (I never played it.)
FFXII – a lot hate. (I hate it.)
FFXIII – a lot hate. (I used to until recently, now i like it.)
As for Uncharted, it's essentially a Tomb Raider game turned shooter. It's not exactly an original concept, however, I do have to admit that it's popularity might have earned it a very well deserved place in the Top 10. But if we were going by popularity, he'd probably have listed whatever games won Game of the Year for the last ten years and had very little work to put into this article for us.
Final Fantasy in the 00′s was rather hit or miss for a lot of people.
Understatement of the year, sir. As an avowed FF fan, the last one I enjoyed that wasn't on a handheld was FFX-2, mostly because it wasn't afraid to bring a sense of fun to the girls' adventures. But even that one felt like Square just hadn't gotten its art-house sci-fi fantasy epic out of its system. I can't weigh in on FFXIII (I don't have a PS3) or either of the MMOs, but I agree that the franchise's heyday was definitely in the 90s.
I think that's still a matter of personal taste though. As it stands, the only FF's that I like are: 7, 8, 9, X, X-2, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, Tactics, Tactics: War of the Lions and Dissidia. (Kingdom Hearts franchise too). I'm still not sure EXACTLY where I stand with FF13 because I haven't finished it yet. But of those games that I really like 6 of them came out after 2000 and one was a movie.
FFX-2 is probably my second favorite next to FF7: Crisis Core. They had the best battle system of any RPG I've played. The story got a little "light hearted" at times but if you loved X, then X-2 was just all gravy anyway…
I agree with a number of them and disagree with the rest
First of all, MAJOR props for putting Shadow of the Colossus up there!
Second, while every list is going to be a personal choice, my favorites would be (in no particular order):
Shadow of the Colossus
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Rock Band 2
Final Fantasy X
Kingdom Hearts 1
God of War 1
Tomb Raider Legend
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Wii Sports
Fallout, Mass Effects, or Bioware stuff of any kind (BG2 was '00, KotoR)
What was the criteria for the list? Sales? Originality (Then Why 6/10 listed as sequels)? Or just personal preferance?
I missed only a Star Wars. KOTOR 1 or 2, or even Force Unleashed.
I believe Star Wars, KOTOR should be there. Also, how about Rome: Total War!!!!
Can we all just agree that any Top 10 is a matter of oppinion? I think he gave really great reasons for why he selected those games for his Top 10 list though. Everyone is going to have a different Top 10. I enjoy reading the perspective of others when it comes to Top 10's. I tend to agree with a lot of his points. I participate in Rock Band night to this day. :)
Reading this was awkward with the constant use of "us" and "we" but also then sometimes "I". Was this a group list or an individual?
As with most people, you get a mix of agreement and disagreement from me.
I LOVED Halo: Combat Evolved, solely due to the campaign (I have only accumulated 28 hours of multiplayer TOTAL in my entire gaming career – across ALL platforms). It was fast-paced, challenging, and fresh, compared to previous FPS games.
Because I go for single-player games that don't require online access, I really dig RPGs, but I have a limited catalog to work with. FFXIII naysayers find it too linear or too changed from the mainstream, but I found it to be a wonderful (if skewed) story with deep characters (*coughHope'sabratcough*), and an enticing battle format.
I have never, not once in the entirety of its existance, played World of Warcraft. Why? I simply can't. End of discussion.
A bold leap in a new direction was definately the release of the First-Person-Role-Playing-Shooter known as Fallout 3 (which I personally think was better than ES IV: Oblivion). An absolutely MASSIVE overworld, endless choices (and consequences to match those choices), and an enriching main story, Fallout 3 is one of, if not THE best game of the 00's.
I would point out a minor correction.. WoW has a subscriber base of closer to 12 million and growning. Some might say I'm nitpicking a minor detail.. but that minor detail translates into over $360 million / year subscriber revenue ignored by this article.
I would have to say this list was definitely subjective. If I were to add a GTA game as a 'top ten of all games in 00s' it would have to be GTA3 since that is the game that truly introduced the world to the possibilities of the sandbox game. Vice City was GTA3 with a different coat of paint and some better known voice actors. Not saying it isn't worthy, but I think you need to respect the originatal more than the sequel. I would actually pick Red Dead Redemption over any of the other Rockstar games.
I think a game like Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War would have been worthy. One of the best RTS games to come along since Starcraft in the 90's and spawning a very healthy franchise.. but the single player was pretty short and somewhat lacking.
Pretty good overall list though
Yeah, but if you're going to respect the original more than the sequel why aren't you going all the way back to the top down Grand Theft Auto 1? GTA3 is obviously a sequel that deserves props for changing the whole franchise into what it is now, but for their point of view, maybe they just felt that Vice City was more polished. I still wish that they would have something in the newer GTA's that were a mainstay of the original top-down games; I used to be able to steal cars and take them to the docks and sell the stolen cars. Fun, fast, easy way to make money. Either way, both are good games.
I think some games are objectively good, ie Star Wars and KOTOR
I liked the list, I would have added a few different ones (based on having different tastes of course).
Resident Evil 4 fixed all the things I didn't like about the previous RE games and presented a polished and insanely atmospheric game.
I'd have gone with Halo 3 over Combat Evolved though, I just found myself glued to Halo 3 like I hadn't been since Halo 1 came out.
For a computer game, if it counts, the Half-Life spin off Counter-Strike was my drug during college. I spent so many hours playing that game that I'd walk across campus thinking about where I'd hide or where a likely spot for a camper to be. I still love how open that game was too, people would make their own levels and you could play for hours and hours and never want to leave the screen. Granted most good games are like that.
I agree with Wii Sports, I'd play until I was worn out and could barely swing my arm to relay a tennis ball back.
Oblivion is another I completely agree with, I've easily logged over 300 hours playing Oblivion and I'm still only about halfway through the main storyline. That game truly game me my money's worth.
Dead Rising was another standout game for me, due to it's open world designs and the ability to use almost anything in your environment to take down zombies. I don't know how many times I would heat up a frying pan and walk up to a zombie and burn his face off, or how often I'd try to see how many times a zombie would have to be hit with Diamonds or CD's before they died.
Also, Crackdown was a super fun game too and Bio-Shock was great.
Ooh Ooh!! I almost forgot, I loved me some Stubbs the Zombie in Rebels Without a Pulse.
