XTraFries: Best of 2010

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Red Dead Redemption

1. Red Dead Redemption

Arguably my favorite Rockstar game of all time. The western aesthetic was done perfectly, the characters and story were phenomenal, and the gameplay it self was always a load of fun. The multiplayer was pretty fun too. It's not perfect, but it was absolutely amazing. My game of the year, most certainly.

Super Street Fighter IV

2. Super Street Fighter IV

Played more of this game than any other this year, and for good reason. So many great times of hanging out in my dorm room and playing for hours with my friends.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

3. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

I blame this for getting me back into WoW after over a 2 year absence. Remaking the world and the quest lines was exactly what this games needed, and now I....can't....stop......

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

4. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

One of the few games I can think of that is more fun to watch than it is to play....at least for me, since my skills have deteriorated quite a bit since beta. An amazing, super-polished game that I really wish I was better at.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

5. Call of Duty: Black Ops

The first CoD I've played since the original Modern Warfare. Turns out, these games are still pretty damn awesome. Online is still super addictive and shooting dudes in the face is still fun.

God of War III

6. God of War III

Kratos is still one bad dude, and God of War III is still a hell of a game in the series. Perhaps not the leap forward that II was, but it's a hell of a game on its own.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

7. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

I love me a good racing game, and Hot Pursuit is a GREAT racing game, the best I've played since....well, the last Criterion game. Damn, those guys know how to make cars fun as hell.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

8. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

GHOST TRAIN!!!!

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

9. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Oh, hey guards. Don't mind me, I'm just raising my fist in the air and slowly walking away.....

Blur

10. Blur

Blur was awesome. I really wish it had been received better...looks like there won't be a sequel.
