EchoForge: Best of 2010

Showing 1-10 of 11 items

Bayonetta

1. Bayonetta

Four days into the year, and I had my fave game of 2010; oozing with style and flawless gameplay mechanics.

Mass Effect 2

2. Mass Effect 2

Played three times through the first couple of months, and itching for another go.

Vanquish

3. Vanquish

Hard to go back to Gears after this sped-up version. Auto-buy for the next Platinum title.

Halo: Reach

4. Halo: Reach

The only Halo game I've enjoyed replaying over and over.

NBA 2K11

5. NBA 2K11

Hard to find a reason to buy even the next 2K bball game. I have absolutely no idea how they're going to top it.

The Saboteur

6. The Saboteur

I know it came out the year prior, but I played it in early 2010, so consider this my 2010 2009 GOTY. Even with its VERY 'game-y' mechanics (just run out of the circle of chase and a guard turns right around and forgets you), the setting and story kept me pushing on.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

7. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

Was my most anticipated game coming into 2010. A little frustrating, but as good as I wanted, though I wanted them to exceed my expectations.

8. BioShock 2

Rapture doesn't have the same impact the second go-round, but I found the play mechanics more enjoyable than in the first game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

9. Call of Duty: Black Ops

I almost want to say I enjoyed it more than MW2. And 'almost' is quite an accomplishment in this context.

Super Street Fighter IV

10. Super Street Fighter IV

Unlike the updates to previous games in the series, this version renders the stunning original completely obsolete.
