GTA III and a couple of other hot games made an appearance on one of the top TV shows here in the UK last night, The Gadget Show.

The highly respected programme often compares and reviews the latest must-have items, from TVs to mountain bikes, to mobile phones, to cameras. If it's technology-related and it's fun, they've mentioned it.

It seems only fitting, then, that they are taking votes on the top gadget of the decade, and a few computer games have made it to the shortlist of 50 items. World of Warcraft is in there, along with Grand Theft Auto III, and Singstar. But also on the list are things like YouTube, the Nintendo Wii, USB flash drives, Google Earth, Facebook and Wikipedia! Even the wonderful Spotify is there on the list. Some fairly stiff competition there I'd say.

You can check out the list and vote for your pick of the decade's best gadget at The Gadget Show's website.

I watched this last night and they pitched WoW against Counterstrike which I hardly think is comparable. I think the top gadget is the mobile phone but then that's going to be older than 10 years isn't it?

I don't remember many having a mobile phone is school, and that was near 9 years ago for me. They were invented by then sure, but not common. I would say it would be alright to class "modern" mobile phones as an invention of the last 10 years.
