Here's a list of all the games I've played in 2010, with micro-reviews.
List items
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> Awesome. The DLC was a bit weak. The pay for stuff was worse than the stuff from the Cerberus Network.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> I freaking love this game. The weapon drops are fun and I never got tired of roaming around shooting stuff. The quests and story are a bit weak, but it doesn't bother me.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> To be honest this is a 2009 game, but I've played it so much this year, it belongs on the list. Excellent casual dungeon crawler.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> - Near perfect return to the traditional RPG game. "Inventory management" mini-game and all. The story and characters were great. I didn't want it to end.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> Booyah, When has this franchise let me down? Never. That's right.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> It's like they took my list of "awesome things for a game" and made a game. Even it's open world jank was charming instead of annoying. I wish the story mode had lead to a bit more of the game completed by the end.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-2.png"> Cutscenes are cool. Graphics were ok, but you can do an RTS on console.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> It's a God of War game. And it's awesome. Of course.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-5.png"> Oh god yes! More please. This was the perfect casual game. I just wish there were more!
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Getting around the city was amazing. Definite improvement on the original. Can't wait for the third one.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> - The characters weren't as memorable, and it had a few game crashing bugs. But a 20 hour expansion is nothing to sneeze at and it's still DAO underneath.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Great single player. Didn't live up to the previous game though. Lots of wow moments and almost too much craziness.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Awesome remake. The challenge modes are crazy. Totally worth the MS points
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Awesome racer, amazing creation tools. Killer load times though.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> I was going to write up how this wan't that big an upgrade. Then I realized 10 hours had gone by.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> This is my kinda builder game. Free play is the best here. The story mode is almost TOO slow, but it's a great tutorial.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> I had a good time playing through the single player campaign. I'm not into online shooters so I can only guess is was as good or better. I love the character dialog!
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> I wish I wasn't a big chicken because the game is fun and the story is great. It's this years Deadspace2 for me.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Fun, well done game. Plays great and is fun online. I'm sure there will be a ton of levels for this.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Scratches my kill things until they drop loot itch. I actually guffawed at some of the dialog. Fun game overall and a pretty unique look, although it can be distracting sometimes.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> I love these kinds of action RPGs, it's cute and fun.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-4.png"> Beautiful looking. Great platformer. A little frustrating at times and sometimes easy to "cheat" the physics puzzles. This game deserves more content (Ps. I know the PC edition had extra levels)
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Given it's 2004 release date, the game looks and plays really well. If I had played this in 2004, I would have been amazed. Unfortunately I didn't.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Didn't play it long. Feels just like FIFA of old.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Great GoW clone, but a bit janky and I hated the poop levels.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Awesome Zelda Clone. I need to spend more time with this. This games goes onto my "Must Return To" list.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Yah, yah. I finally got to it. It was super pretty and the custom levels can be great, but the actual platforming (the GAME) is not good. Gets extra points for being cute.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Wicked Mario Kart clone with "real" cars. Great with friends but not something to hold my attention for very long.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> MUA 1 was a 5 star for me. This one just lacked personality and polish. I got bored with it way too early. I think it was almost too similar to the original.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Wicked free "casual" type racing game. Almost a puzzle game. Quick tracks make it easy to just restart when you make a mistake. Loops!
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> A game I'd been meaning to play for a while. It's a decent open world game with some pacing issues. It looks gorgeous.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> I love small map RTS games like this. Almost tower defense with a little single unit control that becomes almost too necessary for my tastes.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Looks gorgeous. I love the HUD. But in the end it's not as fun or as deep as Burnout.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> See: Forza.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Sweet breakout game with really good music. Gets really hard, really fast.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Pretty sweet for a pay 2 play. Needs a graphics engine boots though. HD textures aren't enough. I love the combat mechanic but it can get a bit hectic.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> The crappy cut-scene system and story and lack of real evolution of the franchise limit the fun I could have had.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> A really fun and frantic shooter. I love the style. Sometimes things can get a little too crazy. It really brings me back to Quake3.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Web swinging is fun and the fighting is good. A little too early console gen graphics to keep my attention. The voice acting is shit though.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-3.png"> Not nearly as excellent as Skate 2, the extra tricks and park editor are great but not enough. Also, broken online skate.Crap was annoying.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-2.png"> I bet this game could be a lot of fun once you get into the systems of the game. I just wasn't motivated to learn it. Definitely for Sim City lovers.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-2.png"> This game made me realize I really don't like technical driving games. It's gorgeous and a great simulator. I just don't want that.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-2.png"> Yup, that's an MMO alright. The ships look cool and the sounds are perfect. Still.. An MMO.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-2.png"> Just could NOT get into this. This wasn't my second go at the series. I think I'm done now.
-
<img src="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/vine/img/generic/star-2.png"> Cool for about 10 mins. of nostalgia, then it's a crap game.
