breathing life and freshness into the quite stale genre with it's fantastic gameplay mechanics. raise a standard that will be hard duplicate.

platinum delivers again with the continuing theme of redefining genres. the visuals, the flow of the gamplay, and the technical aspect of the game are all superior

if you like things to go bananas than this game is the epitome of all things going bananas. base jump off a building into grapple hooking onto a helicopter into base jumping off said helicopter into parachuting into an enemy base while blowing all things to obliteration. james bond is almost 1/4 as cool as rico. the story is goofy but that's not the point. the point is this game is RIDICULOUS. a HUGE sandbox world that is impressive on all fronts.

this is sort of cheating because these games were not officially released in 2010, but did have a psn release in 2010. because they are so good they make the list. i was blown away by the deep gameplay mechanics of these shooters. so much in fact that these games singly handily brought my love back to shootemups. organic level difficulties, counter bombing, timing friction breaks, forcing difficulties, level extensions and new bosses depending on how good you do, crazy bullet patterns, character customization with 3 different weapon slots. i mean this is just one game gundemonium recollection, literally my mind was blown away.

an awesome new japanese indie shootemup! it is impressive that they were able to make a complex and fairly strategic game out of the simplistic nature of the gameplay. it blends the bullet hell genre with the "normal" shootemup genre into something that hits a sweet spot. also gets props for being accessible to the casual and the hardcore gamer. it was so good that i actually had to create the giantbomb wiki to put it in my list.

absolutely absurd. a spark of genius from the director of this game. sure the gamplay is horrible, but it fits with it's over the top story and memorable characters. an experience that will leave you baffled, overwhelmed with laughter, and one that you will never forget

there a quite a bit of problems with this game, however...STYLE. just STYLE. that's what this game is all about. this game isn't afraid to do what it wants to do and for that it gets props. ridiculous boss fights that will have you laughing, stupid cat mini games, hilarious wrestling throwbacks, all the while still have the most sound use of a wii controller that all wii games wished they could achieve.

an amazing achievement for this overlooked game. it's like they took the light gun genre and combined it with the shootemup genre and this was the result, and it actually turned out good! this game constantly introduces scenarios and mechanics that makes it a blast to play throughout the whole game.

i respect what this game was trying to achieve and for the most part was successful in achieving it. one of the most atmospheric games to come out in 2010. great visual presentation with an interesting take on human survival.

reviewers were hating on this game but i don't see it. still the king with even more depth and options.
