dvdwalker8: Best of 2010

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Heavy Rain

1. Heavy Rain

Interesting gameplay, great characters, nice graphics, tense situations with consequences that matter greatly, and a story that reminds me of a lot of different great movies. Sure the voice acting could use some work but overall this was the best game I played this year. I could play it again right now and enjoy it even more. Would like to check out playing it with the PS Move accessory.

Mass Effect 2

2. Mass Effect 2

Great characters, better combat the first game, nice graphics, and lots to do. Voice acting was great in this but overall I only needed to play it twice and I was pretty much done with it. Might buy the PS3 version when it comes out.

Red Dead Redemption

3. Red Dead Redemption

First Rockstar game that I've finished. Finally they got the gameplay and design to a level where I could play it. GTA had too many racing and chasing missions. Great characters, huge world, and great voice acting. Nice endings.

Bayonetta

4. Bayonetta

Crazy game. I'm not usually good at this style of game but this one made it accessible for me.

God of War III

5. God of War III

More God of War but one that takes advantage of the power of the PS3. Some pretty cool action sequences but I was pretty much done with it after one playthrough.

Fallout: New Vegas

6. Fallout: New Vegas

Some cool weapons and armor design. Big world and some interesting story elements. Too many factions to align yourself with though which makes the achievements kind of hard to get. Want to play it again on Hardcore mode and see how that goes.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

7. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

A Splinter Cell game that I was actually able to finish. Some cool gameplay and action sequences.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

8. Call of Duty: Black Ops

Great guns and a story that takes you all over the place. It is weird that they got an Aussie to play an Alaskan but it is still a good game. Some neat action sequences.

Halo: Reach

9. Halo: Reach

Probably my favorite Halo since the first one. Cool weapons, decent characters, and a huge war that paves the way for Master Chief and the Halo Trilogy.

Darksiders

10. Darksiders

Wasn't able to finish this because I rented it and hit a tough boss battle before it had to go back. Cool character, neat weapons, and some cool action sequences.
