Best of 2010
If 2009 was the year of the multiplayer for me, 2010 brought it back close to home. Only 2 of my final list really consisted of playing a lot of multiplayer, and of those Fifa is a yearly institution. 2010 started out really strong and probably had the most games I've played in a year, yet I still managed to miss out on many I wanted to play (Nier, Bayonetta and Brotherhood spring to mind). Not that the rest of the year had no gems - I had 16 games on here to start with - but considering my number 1 was the first game I played this year, it shows how good that game was.

Notable Mentions
WoW: CatacylsmÂOk yes, it has sucked me in again. A pretty ridiculous amount of changes to the entire game, nearly all for the better. More engaging quests, better rewards and a whoile lot of streamlining of the grind

Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth
I love me some Ace Attorney. Edgeworth never quite grabbed me as much as the previous ones, with the lack of trials removing some of the tension. Had a couple of good cases and some excellent character stuff going on (The Yatagarasu reveal was awesome!), but man did that last case go on for far too long.Â
Persona 3 PortableÂ
Female story and a whole load of additions on one of my favourite RPGs ever? Sure!
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
The usual praise here. Fantastic characters and acting and a well-written story with decent combat/level design. I had the ending sort of spoiled for me beforehand, but that ending left way, way too many plotholes.

Rock Band 3Â
If this had been out last year it'd be top 2 or 3. The game's good. Really good. But I havent been able to play as much of it as I'd like.
Assassin's Creed: BrotherhoodÂ
Considering I had AC2 2nd last year, this should be near the top but I've only managed 3 or 4 hours so far. Shame, because it's fantastic so far.
Pokémon Heart Gold
NOSTAAAAALGIAAAAA. The Pokéwalker is an amazing tool too, I must've took that to work for months on end.
