Best of 2010

by dochaus

Everyone's got a "Best Of" list, so I figured I might as well add my own. In no particular order...

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

Great story, great action, great characters. A great mix of RPG and shooter elements. Overall just a plain great game.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

2. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Though the story might be AC2.5, the game was like a full-fledged sequel and the multiplayer was real good.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift

3. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift

If you can look past the story filled with animu cliches, you'll find one of the deepest fighting games out there. If the visual novel-esque story is up your alley, then bonus.

Halo: Reach

4. Halo: Reach

Story was "meh" but the multiplayer is still great.

Team Fortress 2

5. Team Fortress 2

"But DocHaus, this game wasn't even made in 2010!" Well, it updated with brand new weapons and hats in 2010, so it's like the best new game ever! Shut up!

Monday Night Combat

6. Monday Night Combat

Never thought TF2 and DotA elements would go so well together, but somehow they do in this game that finally got free DLC and patch released. Keep your ammo cool and your bacon hot!

Comic Jumper

7. Comic Jumper

Frustrating retro gameplay, but the story and the dialogue are fucking hilarious.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

8. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

The story was shit, but the multiplayer was exceptional.

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

9. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

It's an RPG where you play the owner of an item shop trying to pay off your deadbeat dad's debt. It's surprisingly fun, if you can deal with the annyoingly cheerful Recette

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

10. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Very good story, gameplay, and well-balanced online even if I do get my shit kicked in on a regular basis.
