Top Ten Games of 2010

by junkerman

Here are my top 10 picks for 2010 so far.

Showing 1-8 of 8 items

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

Probably the greatest game ever made.

Metro 2033

2. Metro 2033

Incredible Atmosphere

3. Alan Wake

The greatest licensed sound track in any form of media.

Red Dead Redemption

4. Red Dead Redemption

This game is led by a cast of well written characters in a compelling story of loss and atonement. I wish all developers payed as much attention to story as Rockstar does.

5. BioShock 2

A vast array of fun and unique weapons makes Bioshock 2 a much better game then its lackluster original

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising

6. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising

Bayonetta

7. Bayonetta

I picked this game up because the combat looked very cinematic (which it was) and although I was initially put off by the overly sexualized protagonist I soon came to realize there was a lot more to this game then sexy witches fighting. Bayonetta is more of a parody of today's generic female protagonists then anything else, with some of the over the top scenes so ridiculous you cant help but shake your head and laugh.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

8. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

The greater focus on story and the mark and execute feature really brought a lot to the table; Completely changing the Splinter Cell formula, not so much. So I've taken to viewing the game as a spin off, because it really isn't anything like its predecessors, you cant even move bodies!
