Best of 2010
RuthLoose: Best of 2010
List items
-
1. Mass Effect 2
Played this one through in three days or so when it first launched. Playing through a second time and enjoying the same conversations. That doesn't happen in video games often. This is definitely Commander Shepard's finer hour.
-
2. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game
Loved the anime (it is still considered anime if it is from Toronto, right?) Loved the movie. Loved the game adaptation. A bit of a grind fest, but a fantastic ode to beat-um-up games of yore.
-
3. Super Meat Boy
The biggest Indie success story of the year outside of Minecraft, Super Meat Boy takes your concept of challenging and tosses it out of the window, shoves it into a vat of steaming hot sodium chloride and curb stomps the remains. Yet, you come back for more. This is the tutorial for video gaming.
-
4. Swords & Soldiers
This one snuck up on me on the PSN, but the Sword & Soldiers formula makes RTS playable and tolerable for me. Think of it as Odin Sphere meets Black and White.
-
5. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The single player was kind of a bummer but this is the definitive FPS of 2010.
-
6. Final Fight: Double Impact
The way to release an arcade game. Would love to see Capcom release a Black Dragon cabinet release asap.
-
7. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
Pac-Man made even more enjoyable. This is the game to play drunk.
-
8. Deadly Premonition
Forget coherency, Deadly Premonition surprises those that stick around long enough with the game Resident Evil 5 could have been - suspenseful and wacky.
-
9. Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent
Professor Layton meets the X-Files. The art direction for this game is beautiful and the puzzles are pretty tricky.
-
10. Angry Birds
Should be on everyone's list for most distracting game of the year.
