Rayeth: Best of 2010 
 
Didn't quite make it to 10 games worthy of a spot on the list.  Mostly this has to do with the amount of 2009 and older games that I played this year (Tales of Vesperia, GoW Collection, Demon's Souls, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age, etc).  I would venture to say though that these ones were something special.

Showing 1-7 of 7 items

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

1. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Easily the best game of the year. Phenomenal single player campaign and relentlessly addictive multiplayer. WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS!

Super Meat Boy

2. Super Meat Boy

SO DAMN HARD! SO FRIGGIN GOOD! The music is really top notch and the brutal, brutal levels are just right for the precise controls.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

3. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Such a great game. The single player story is excellent (though a bit rushed, despite the numerous side missions), and the multiplayer is simply inspired.

Sid Meier's Civilization V

4. Sid Meier's Civilization V

Award for Timesink of the year 2010. Far too easy to spend far too much time playing this game.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

5. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

Why is this so addicting?! Its like cocaine for my eyes.

God of War III

6. God of War III

Excellent finish (maybe?) to Kratos' journey. Stunning visuals even though the gameplay is basically the same.

Bayonetta

7. Bayonetta

The 2010 game that really should have been a 2009 game. Amazing visuals, and a surprisingly deep fighting system.
