Actually, I even prefer Astro Boy to the original Gunstar Heroes, but I can see how opinions on that could differ.

On further thought, though, I don’t REALLY think Astro Boy is Treasure’s best game; that honor goes to Rakugaki Showtime.

I was referring to the original Gunstar Heroes, not the pale Superheroes. Or did you mean that Astro Boy is "Treasure's best game [of this decade]?"

OK, I took your advice and consolidated the Orange Box so I could add THPS2, which I hadn’t realized came out in 2000.

Seth: I definitely think that Astro Boy is a better game than Gunstar Superheroes. Gunstar Superheroes is a great game, but playing it a few months after Astroboy I got to the end and thought “wait, is that all there is?” since it has less than half as much content as Astroboy. Gunstar Superheroes is still in my top 10 GBA games, but Astroboy is at #1.

Don: Oh! That’s a good point! If I think of another game and don’t want to kick anything out I could consolidate both HL2 and Portal into listing the Orange Box… Where is your list?

Wow… Only one game, Half-Life 2, made my top ten as well. You could cheat and say Orange Box and that would free up the Portal spot. My top 20 also included Shadow of the Colossus and Katamari.

You honestly think that Astro Boy (which suffers from seriously monotonous gameplay) is a better game than the endlessly inventive Gunstar Heroes?
