ChrisTaran: Best of 2010
Another tragically passed-by game that probably has the best score to come out of the industry all year. Even if you refuse to play it, you should at least listen to it.
No 2010 list of best games can possibly be complete without the unforgettable Mass Effect 2. A game that was certainly not forgotten in the proceeding 11 months after its release.
A true example of games as art that should be experienced by all. It's games like this that are advancing the medium.
A sorely overlooked gem with amazing characters with real heart and emotion. Andy Serkis is brilliant in this game.
As someone who always wanted to learn to play the keyboard and guitar, I could ask for no more a perfect teacher in Rock Band 3. Where trying to attend classes has failed me, fans, and achievements have pushed me forward.
What happens when you make one of my favorite games of all time into a portable title? You get my favorite PSP game of all time. An interesting spin on the classic Persona game, the addition of the female protagonist was something I never thought would have worked had I not played it myself.
I'm normally not one for iOS titles, but this little app of a game has become one of my greatest addictions. A must play for any iPhone/Touch owner.
While I found the first few hours of Alan Wake's combat to be more than a little trying, after I got the hang of it I was able to fully immerse myself in this heavily atmospheric story driven game.
Though I'm no Brad Shoemaker when it comes to multiplayer matches, I was able to fully enjoy the single player experience whilst still having some fun getting my ass handed to me in competitive play.
I am not a fan of Wii games. Nothing about that motion controller do I find enjoyable. However -- Fragile had me wanting to play it since the first time I saw it's hauntingly beautiful trailer. Perhaps due to my dislike of Wii controls, I found the actual playing of the game to be rather trying at times, but the story and world kept me coming back for more. This is a love-hate relationship where the love absolutely ends up on top.
