Best of the rest in 2010

The following games just missed out on my top 10 games of 2010 (Best of 2010), but they are still some of the best titles of the year.

Showing 1-10 of 16 items

Pinball FX2

1. Pinball FX2

Surprisingly rich and detailed pinball, with ingenious tables. Great value for money.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

2. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Combines the drift-heavy action of Out Run with the elements of traditional cart racers to create a thrilling and energetic racer. Throw in tonnes of SEGA charm, and you have a winner. I loved it.

GoldenEye 007

3. GoldenEye 007

Astonishingly good single player shooter and a superbly re-imagined story. The 4 player split screen multiplayer get's the tone of Goldeneye 64 spot on, whilst using modern controls and sensibilities. It's completed with a David Arnold original soundtrack too. Brilliant!

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

4. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

The much maligned series comes back with a gritty art style and a filthy look at Shanghai's under-belly. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Limbo

5. Limbo

My initial negative reaction to the pretentiousness of Limbo has now given way to appreciation of its minimalist approach. I still don't think it was the best game of 2010, but it is certainly one of the most unique.

DJ Hero 2

6. DJ Hero 2

Better in every way to the original DJ Hero, it's just a shame that a broken deck has prevented me from enjoying it more.

Plants vs. Zombies

7. Plants vs. Zombies

With fantastic 360 and iPad versions, and a shed-load of extra modes and content, Plants vs Zombies just keeps getting better, and better.

Dance Central

8. Dance Central

It might not be as sophisticated as a first impressions would have you believe, but it is still the best use of Kinect to date and the best Dance game of all time.

Game Dev Story

9. Game Dev Story

A total time sink, and a commuters dream. I've played this for hours on end, with my Ninja Wrestling game garnering top honours ;) A great little strategy game that harks back to the mighty Rock Star Ate My Hamster,

Joe Danger

10. Joe Danger

PSN's best game this year. Forgiving yet very challenging, Joe Danger is an excellent example of what a great downloadable game should be. Trials HD Stunts x Humour = Win!
