Best Games and Movies of 2000 - 2009

So it's a new decade, eh?

It's 2010 now, baby, and the past 10 years have given us a wide variety of memorable cinematic and gaming moments: exploding Halo rings, the killing of Bill, a war against the gods and the history of violence. In the theater we saw the best superhero movies of all time. On the couch we played the greatest shooters ever created.

Yeah, there've been plenty of choice movies and games released since the year 2000 launched us into the new millennium. And the IGN team has been working for months (actually weeks... well, really days) to compile this list of the greatest movies and games of the decade. We started with the 10 best films and games of each year, as you'll see, and then took the resulting 10 number ones and ranked them to determine the best game and movie of the past decade.

Enjoy disagreeing with all of our picks!

What the Cluck

New York City's transit agency is investigating a video posted online that shows a man kissing and snuggling a live chicken aboard a subway.

The subway rider who took the video said Thursday that it was one of those New York moments she felt compelled to record.

Kylie Kaiser, a 27-year-old architect from Brooklyn, and two friends boarded the uptown No. 6 train at the 33rd Street station at around 7 p.m. Tuesday."He was on his back, rolling from side to side, kissing, hugging and lifting the chicken up in the air," she said.

She said the man was oblivious to everything around him and didn't respond to onlookers.

"It was definitely an only-in-New-York situation," said Kaiser, who moved to the city about three years ago from Murfreesboro, Tenn.

Kaiser said the man looked like he was homeless because he had a shopping cart next to him full of cans and was wearing a shirt with an MTA patch that "looked like he had found it somewhere."

NYC Transit spokesman Charles Seaton said no passengers reported the incident. He said only service animals and those in containers are permitted in the subway system.

Kaiser took video and photos with her Blackberry, got off at the 68th Street stop with the man still on the train and later posted video and photos on her blog. The post was picked up by Gothamist, a local blog network, and others.

"I knew it would be a story people would want to hear," she said.
