Best games nobody played in 2010
These are a handful of excellent titles that nobody seemed that interested in, or sold badly, but I thoroughly enjoyed.

Stylish, dark, funny, and brutal; Kane & Lynch should be a run away success. Yet once again it floundered under the weight of bad PR and misplaced criticisms of brevity. The facts: it had as much content as Halo Reach, and included some unique twists on co-op multiplayer, yet the perception of an empty package exists? Personally, I loved it.

I admit, I have a very soft spot for the Dreamcast version, but this reboot was a classic example of how to make a great arcade game for the home consoles. Fast, frantic action; unlocks; and leaderboards. What more do you want?

The best XBL Indie game of 2010. Leave Home is a fascinating shoot-em-up in which failure is not punished, and the adaptive difficulty is used to change the entire experience. Unique and wonderful in equal measure; very cheap too.
-
Sonic pushed Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Split/Second hard as one of the best arcade racers of 2010. Perfect balance and loads of variety keeps the racing rewarding and interesting. A cheap Mario Kart cash-in this is not. The wonderful SEGA fan service is a bonus.

Once again, DJ Hero is overlooked. Unfairly tarnished by the "hero" tag, DJ Hero 2 takes the previous years excellent game and improves on almost everything. This is the Amplitude and Frequency for this generation. Play it damn you!
