Best of 2010

1. Mass Effect 2Mass Effect 2https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Mass_Effect_2Opens wiki page

The second chapter of the Mass Effect trilogy was excellent. Maybe not as mentally powerful than the first, but still heart pounding story. Can't wait the third one. (damn, year!)

2. Alan WakeAlan Wakehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Alan_WakeOpens wiki page

I waited this game for years. Ever since this game was announced in Finnish gaming magazine (maybe 6 years ago). Max Payne came in 2002 with a Big Bang and blow my mind. So the expectations would be impossible to live up... Alan Wake didn't end up exactly how Remedy visioned it at first (sandbox-freeroam) but I'm still feeling shivers down my spine when thinking about few of those thrilling encounters in the woods of Bright Falls. Great atmosphere and gameplay with stunning visuals and soundtrack. Time magazines game #1.

3. Fallout: New VegasFallout: New Vegashttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Fallout_New_VegasOpens wiki page

I've been playing Fallout games since the second one (I actually played Fallout 1 afterwards). Fallout has special place in my heart. Fallout 3 was great game but New Vegas perfected it with Hardcore mode (and few other things too) eventhough the game engine seems outdated. For a Fallout veteran New Vegas featured some cool heartwarming familiar encounters. Great work Obsidian.

4. Red Dead RedemptionRed Dead Redemptionhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Red_Dead_RedemptionOpens wiki page

John Marston is one hellavah badass. End game had few tricks I didn't see coming. Haven't been that suprised for some time now. Great story, characters and stunningly beautiful open world is to this date the best game Rockstar has ever created.

Fun as hell! Lego toy for adults :) I had to put this bit lower than I first thought because.. well let's face it, I played this game at alpha stage.. so not a complete product. I'm not sure even if this game can be in this list..

6. Battlefield: Bad Company 2Battlefield: Bad Company 2https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Battlefield_Bad_Company_2Opens wiki page

Better than all Call of Duty games from fourth combined. At least the multiplayer side. Singleplayer could've been better, but hours spent owning in multiplayer saves alot. One bad thing to say: medic are op.

7. Angry BirdsAngry Birdshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Angry_BirdsOpens wiki page

I actually didn't play this as much I would've liked because I don't own device that can run it. But then again being Finnish I'm obliged to put this game here. Time magazines #2! Finland took two first positions :D
