Ben_H: Best of 2010

Showing 1-9 of 9 items

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

1. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

This game is easily my number 1. I care about way more about gameplay than story, and SC2 has some of the best RTS gameplay in a loooong time (And I've played RTS's for over 11 years). Also, psionic storming a bio-ball into oblivion will never, EVER get old.

Red Dead Redemption

2. Red Dead Redemption

This game was quite an experience. I found it incredibly fun and the setting worked incredibly well. On a rating of 1-10 of how satisfying the shotguns were to use I would say a 10.

Sid Meier's Civilization V

3. Sid Meier's Civilization V

Though not as good as it's predecessor (I ONLY have spent about 45 hours on it so far), Civ5 lives up to the expectations of the series and the new additions to it work quite well.

Super Street Fighter IV

4. Super Street Fighter IV

I played this a ton until StarCraft 2 came out. It improved on SFIV in a number of appreciable ways and was quite fun online to boot.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

5. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

The only FPS of 2010 I played, but also the only FPS of 2010 that I wanted to play. The singleplayer was okay but the multiplayer is fantastic. People actually work as a team once in a while. On a rating of 1-10 of how satisfying the shotguns were to use I would give this an 8.

Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver

6. Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver

This game makes me feel like I'm 8 again. It's awesome.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

7. Super Mario Galaxy 2

This game also makes me feel like I'm 8. Good ol' Nintendo.

Super Meat Boy

8. Super Meat Boy

Because sometimes you feel like causing yourself just a bit more mental anguish.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

9. Donkey Kong Country Returns

It makes me feel like I'm 6 playing SNES with my cousins. You win again Nintendo.
