Game of the Year 2010? Not quite. Arcade Game of the Year 2010? Absolutely. 
 
I can't remember the last time I have been this obsessively completionist about a game. This game has fueled me through many sleepless nights since its release, and it makes me sick at the same time. The frustrated groans, the sweaty hands, and the constant urge to crush my controller down to its most basic components, and I love it all the same. I fell in love with the game through the first two worlds. Then came the rage. About halfway through the salt factory, I had to shut off the 360 for fear of smashing it with a large hammer.  
 
And it made me happy. This game has given me a feeling of real accomplishment, something that is hard to find in a videogame now. Especially for $10. If you haven't already, buy this game and see if you don't smile even while you want to punch a hole in the wall.  
 
I'm trying to crawl through World 5, in case you were wondering.
