My Game of the Year Candidates

By MormonWarrior 41 Comments

2010 is a year that started strong for gaming, and good stuff has been coming out all year more or less.
 
Here's my personal candidates for game of the year.
 
- Mass Effect 2

This is one heck of an impressive sequel. I wasn't really sure if I liked the first Mass Effect, but after importing my character to 2 and playing through it, I'm totally enamored with the universe. I've played through every bit of DLC and I currently hold an S-rank for this game, and it's my favorite on the 360 by far. I've even beaten the game twice after going through the original game again! It's a fantastic sequel and better in every way.
 
 
 
 


- Alan Wake

Creepy, moody, and sporting a fantastic story, Alan Wake is a great experience. The gameplay is solid, too. It does drag on a bit and can get a little frustrating, but this is one game you shouldn't miss if you appreciate Hitchcock films or suspenseful novels.
 
 
 
 
 
 


    - Bayonetta

Bayonetta is utterly insane. It's also quite possibly the best character-action game on the market currently, beating out the Ninja Gaidens, God of Wars, and Devil May Crys out there. It's stylish, it's slick, and it's lengthy. It's also brutally difficult, making it a great game for all those hardcore gamers out there. If only it had a language filter option a la Gears of War...I just skip the cutscenes and cut to the gameplay anyway. Also I hear the PS3 version is broken. That's really a shame.
 
 
 
 
 
 
- Super Street Fighter IV

Super Street Fighter IV adds to the original with ten more characters, more locations, more moves, and further balanced gameplay. It's a fantastic fighting game that gets deeper the more you play it, and it's nearly perfect in its feature set. It still lacks a good training mode to get novice players (like me) up to speed, and the online components could use a few tweaks. A fantastic value nonetheless.
 
 
 
 
 

 
- Super Mario Galaxy 2

SMG 2 is brilliant. It builds upon its incredible masterpiece of a predecessor in smart and creative ways. It never stops for breath, and is so filled with variety and style that it puts other games to shame. The 2D platforming sections littered throughout make New Super Mario Bros. Wii look like third-rate shovelware, and the music is fantastic once again. I never felt like I was treading old ground. WE NEED MORE PLATFORMERS LIKE THIS ON ALL CONSOLES, DANG IT!!!
 
 
 
 
Stay tuned for updates as I play more games, and my potential Downloadable Game of the Year list as well.
