project343: Best of 2010

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

Listen, I adore Bioware. And Mass Effect is my current favourite series. Been following this series since the initial trailer debut of the first title. For me, there is no competition.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

2. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Loved the 'page-turning' quality of character interaction. Very gripping. And the action was also a treat between these emotionally-charged scenes.

Red Dead Redemption

3. Red Dead Redemption

Contains the most memorable 8-minute experience of 2010, by far. No spoilers needed, but easily the most flawless narrative experience of the year.

Limbo

4. Limbo

An emotional, atmospherical roller coaster. It doesn't stop until the very end, with a leap, a whirl, and the final bit of light at the end of the tunnel. When you hit that point, you take a long gasp of air and smile. A smile for the creative perfection glowing from this game, and a smile for the satisfying conclusion to a great journey you just ended.

Bayonetta

5. Bayonetta

So mindmeltingly great, I had to make up a word to describe it. Most memorable 8-hour experience of 2010, by far.

Minecraft

6. Minecraft

If Mindcraft had a slash-played (/played), I'd probably cry.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

7. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

World of Warcraft unfortunately has a slash-played (/played), and that number makes me cry with shame. Wonderful experience that deserves to be called a fully-fledged 'game.'

Darksiders

8. Darksiders

I miss the feeling of a creative, new Zelda experience. Recent entries in the series have, arguably, just given me a taste of that feeling. With a ton of 'fan-servicey' sides. And then there was Darksiders. One word: yay!

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

9. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Probably my most recent addition to this mental list. Finished it only a few hours ago. Perhaps a tad too fresh to move it any higher, but I loves me some Assassin's Creed. Great multiplayer, wonderful singleplayer story. Can't say I'm a fan of the ending--but they've done this to me twice before now. Oh well, still fantastic.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

10. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Dude, it's Starcraft.
