Best of 2010
I'm only going to put in a few games, not 10, because there's enough significant games I haven't played to make a longer list misleading. I'll play Red Dead, Castlevania, NFS: Hot Pursuit and Vanquish next year sometime. I'll never play Halo or Fable or Alan Wake because I don't have an Xbox. I probably won't play Starcraft 2 because I don't enjoy RTS games very much.
Least favourite games of the year sublist:
Lost Planet 2: Only game I did not finish. Frustrating, badly designed, clumsy and slow.
Final Fantasy 13: Good combat system and main characters, but poor story, empty world, annoying melodrama and a lack of freedom to explore that made it all seem tiresome.
Bad Company 2: Judging only on single player, I found this frustrating and very buggy and the storyline is a predictable weak photocopy of apparantly every other FPS game at the moment. Multiplayer is probably better.
