Ok so as this is my first proper award time on Giant Bomb I need to do some explaining, before I do my game of the year awards I do my 2010 awards. Now you may be thinking whats this crap about! Well my 2010 awards are much bigger than my Game of the year awards as this list includes games released outside this year aswell as 2010 games. So for instance one catogory is game I spent the most time on in 2010, the winner could be Banjo-Kazooie, even though Its not released this year it could win this catogory. So yeah just a thing incase you get confused, enjoy!
Most Enjoyed Family Game of 2010 - This award goes to the game that I had the most fun with playing with my family in 2010.
Mario Kart Wii - Wii.
Wii Fit - Wii.
Just Dance - Wii.
New Super Mario Bros - Wii.
Um...Madworld - Wii.
And the winner is...Just Dance!
Yeah so Madworld counts cause my dad watched me play it and said it was the sh#t! Moving on, In a family group Just Dance had the most enjoyment. I played it at Christmas partys and it just gets everybody up and laughing, even among me and a few other family members who are hardcore gamers, with Just Dance you don't care that it is a poor game. The controls are flawed and hardly regongise your movements, there is not really any game parrts to this and whatever, we still had fun with it. So yeah thats my Family game of 2010.
Most Anticpated Game of 2010 - This award goes to the game that I couldn't wait to get my hands on this year and bought it quite quickly after it came out, it does not matter whether the game is good or not.
Proffessor Layton and the Lost Future - DS
Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver - DS
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions - PS3
Red Dead Redemption - PS3
Goldeneye - Wii
And the winner is...Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions!
I love Spider-Man, I have a huge love for the webslinger, the 90's TV show is one of my most watched TV show ever, I've watched it over countless times. I loved the Spider-Man game for the PS1 which did a huge fanservice to me as there was so my unlockable costumes including the Symboite costume (Which was not overused back then). Spider-Man for the PS2 I remember also playing a heck out of, I loved that game and thought that it was one of the best games ever created (Hey I was like 11!). Then Spider-Man 2 came and just blew me away, I loved GTA and well this to me was GTA, but I could webswing. I would spend hours just swinging round the city searching for radom quests or listning to the commenator cracking jokes. Then Spider-Man 3 came out and I was like meh...But then Spider-Man: Web of Shadows came out and I enjoyed it, it improved apon Spider-Man 2 because unlike Spider-Man 3 it added new mechanics to not just make it a Spider-Man 2.1. But yeah I was kinda done with Spider-Man free-roaming adventures, then Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions was announced, and boy I was super excited. I followed it all the way and was just sitting at my desk thinking of the dimensions they could pick from, then watching all the videos of the new villians being announced. Then it came out....Meh!
My most played game of 2010 - This award goes to the game I have spent the most time on in 2010
Call of Duty: Black Ops - PS3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - PS3
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - PS3
Theme Park World - PS1
Red Dead Redemption - PS3
And the winner is...The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!
People who have followed me from Gamepspot will be aware that this is the game that won my most played game of 2008 and my most played game of 2009 and well, it's done it again! Ok so I haven't really touched the game in the past 8 months, but in the beggining of the year I played a bunch of it. I started - yet again - again. I said to myself, I'll just play it in moderation, take it easy you know I have other new games to be playing etc. I did not listen to myself at all, I completed the Theives Guild, the Dark Brotherhood, a bunch of side quests and I made it part way during the Main Quest, then I think I got a new game, and just forgot about it. I tried to g ack in last month but I had been away for to long so I just left it. But yeah I built up about 50 or so hours so that tops the rest of them.
Best Buy of 2010 - This award goes to the game or console that I felt I got the most for my money for.
Banjo-Kazooie - XBLA - 1200 Microsoft Points - £10.20
Call of Duty Black Ops - PS3 - Launch Price - About £40-£50?
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX - PS3 - £7 ish
Nintendo Wii 25th Mario Red Edition - £175 - With New Super Mario Bros, Red Wii Mote +, Red Nunchuck.
Super Nintendo Entertainment System - £20 - With Super Mario Bros All Stars + World + Stunt Race FX...
And the Winner is...Banjo-Kazooie!
Now hold your horses, I have my reasons for this! Banjo-Kazooie is my favorite game of all time, I'm always up for Banjo-Kazooie no matter what the time! I no longer have it as I don't have the console anymore, I bought a 360 at the beggining of the year, but stupidly sold it. But in the month I had it I bought this, and man it improve's Banjo-Kazooie! I have played the original so much I noticed every minor diffrrence. The whole speech icons were imrpoved, the Stop and Swap was brought in (And also carrys on to Banjo-Tooie for the XBLA), your musical notes stayed with you instead of respawning everytime you die and having to collect them all again. I personally would have payed much more for this and so was the best buy I made in 2010.
Worst Buy of 2010 - This award goes to the game or console that I felt i got the least for my money for.
Playstation Move Controller's
Eyepet: Move Edition - PS3
Super Mario All Stars - Wii
Guitar Hero 5 - PS3
Dude I don't need to put another the answers Playstation Move Controllers!
Playstation Move is good motion control, but with no good games that I wanted it was such a stupid buy. I was thinking "Oh don't worry it'll pick up and soon they'll be loads of great games taking advantage of this" Yeah that never happened, the most enjoyment I had out of it was Heavy Rain, but I sorted enjoyed the PS3 controller more.
Well there you go, on the last day of the year I will post two lists, one being my offical Game of the Year awards and also a list stating my games most looking forward to in 2011. Ok wow my hands hurt, please read and enjoy!
