PhatSeeJay: Best of 2010

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

I'm absolutely blown away by this installment. This is how you make a sequel.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

2. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Oh baby.. What a ride! This is also how you make a sequel. Let's hope they won't pull a Valve on the sequels to this game!

Red Dead Redemption

3. Red Dead Redemption

Mr Marston is definitely the gunslinger I've longed for in a Western game. Kudos to a great execution and the best Western game to date.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

4. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

This baby jumps in among the top games simply for improving the already great things in Assassin's Creed 2 and keeps things fresh enough to make this feel like a full blown sequel.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

5. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Great fun multiplayer. Definitely lifts the bland singleplayer experience. Need more Truckosaurus Rex!

Monday Night Combat

6. Monday Night Combat

Great dumb fun. Quick to pick up and clever ways of combining Team Fortress 2 with DoTA.

Limbo

7. Limbo

Spider limb ripping-tastic! Oh wow this game is heavy!

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

8. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

This one was bought on the 30th on the Steam sale so it's a late addition, but ends up on my 2010 list none the less. It's so much fun being a cop and the environments look fantastic. This is how you revive a dying series. Good job.

9. Alan Wake

Now this game had some survival horror and some great action mechanics. I'm genuinely pleased with how this game turned out. I was also a big fan of the Max Payne games so that's a given.

Fable III

10. Fable III

Despite some strange time jumps and the lack of the map mapped to the Back-button, this was still a strong contender with it's true Fable-feel and the personal investment to the characters and your kingdom.
