Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

Score: 9.5/10

One of best games of this gen I've played so far.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

2. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Score: 8/10

Alex Garland needs to write for more videogames. Amazing experience, even if the controls were a bit clunky at times.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

3. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Score: 8/10

The new take on the Tomb Raider series is a fucking fun as hell success in my book. I'd love to see more Lara Croft adventures like this.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

4. Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

Score: 8/10

It's been awhile since a JRPG actually held my interest. Fun combat, charming world, and lack of long-winded chatter will do that I guess.

And Yet It Moves

5. And Yet It Moves

Score: 7.5/10

Quirky platform/puzzler with interesting world-rotating mechanics, momentum physics, and blending of music.

God of War III

6. God of War III

Score: 7.5/10

Don't really know what the hell was going on, but it's never a dull moment with angry Kratos.

VVVVVV

7. VVVVVV

Score: 7.5/10

Crazy ass platforming with death around every corner. Love it.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

8. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

Score: 7.5/10

Got it for $20...very pleased! The latter stages sorta stagnated in terms of stealth gameplay and turned into more of an all-out 3rd person shooter.

Shank

9. Shank

Score: 7.5/10

If Robert Rodriguez's movies were videogames...

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

10. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

Score: 7.5/10

Love letter to old-school beat 'em ups with homages galore. Absolute kickass soundtrack to boot.
