Trebz

With the best story of the whole year, the best atmosphere of the whole year, the best open world of the whole year, the best ZAMBEES of the whole year, the best real-time horse-muscles of the whole year and some pretty good gunplay to top it off, Red Dead Redemption is the best game I've played all year.

If you're a fan of massive boss fights, incredibly satisfying hacking 'n' slashing and some pretty graphics, too, God of War III is the game for you!

It's like Mass Effect, but with shinier graphics and improved gameplay. Sure, the story itself is bit "blah," but it's still an excellent game.

It's Mario at his funnest and finest. What's not to like?

Yeah, I haven't beaten it, but it's the single most engrossing game of the year for me. I just have to give it a spot on my list of the best games of 2010.

The definitive music game. All the music you could ever hope for and more, practically every instrument you thought you could have and an interface as clean and practical as you hoped it could be. While there's always room for improvement, Rock Band 3 leaves very little left to be desired.

I'm usually not very interested in platformers and I often lose interest in extremely difficult games, so why is Super Meat Boy so enrapturing? Maybe it's the awesome music, great sense of personality, incredibly nimble controls and the consistently mind-boggling yet completely fair level design?

Yeah, it had a weak story with more holes than you could shake a stick at (something that, upon rereading, seems horribly wrong), but the actual gameplay, with its tense and sometimes even exhilarating scenes made Heavy Rain definitely worth the experience.

Just like No More Heroes 1, but with all of the icky, fatty bits cut out and injected with steroids! Mmm.

It's like my iPod Touch turned itself on, opened the App Store and said "Yo dawg, I heard you like making games so I put a game-maker in your game so you can make games while you game." AND IT WORKS.
