Goodbye 2010, hello 2011.
I've decided to write up a little something about some of my favorite games this year and the games I'm most excited for in 2011.
2010
Best Looking Game:
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
I really love the way bright greens and blues are used in contrast with the rusty oranges and metal colors.
Best Soundtrack:
Super Meat Boy
Just have a listen for yourselves.
Fucking great eh?
Best Story
Red Dead Redemption
It's a classic wild west gunslinger story through and through. Rockstar always does a great job with their characters and this is no exception. John Marston is a really likable protagonist and it's a blast to be him.
I was really close to putting Mass Effect 2 here instead but I think that Red Dead had a more complete, and more satisfying story.
Game that left me most pumped for the sequel
Mass Effect 2
Shit is gonna go down!
Biggest Disappointment
Fable 3
Grrrrrrrr. I was really bummed by the ending. The last boss was a fucking embarrassment and the king mechanics were handled terribly. It fucking sucked so bad and it started out pretty good. It's a shame.
Fable 3 also gets the award for "Most Irritating". I don't want to buy that fucking dog outfit so stop asking me everytime I go to the start menu.
Most stuff to do
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
So many icons! There's a metric fuck ton of stuff to do in this game, not to mention ze multi-player.
Well, that's just about all the categories that I can think of right now. i didn't really want to get into stuff like "best action game" or "best male performance". There are other places for that. What are some of your favorite games of 2010? Or least favorite? Or just weirdest? I'll update this later if I think of any good stuff to add. You can check out my top 10 list too if you give a shit.

Now, onward to 2011!
Here are the games that I can't wait to play next year.
5. Dead Space 2
I'm totally ready to jump back into Issac's space suit and shoot off some more limbs.
4. Uncharted 3
Uncharted 2 was my favorite game of 2009, maybe even of this generation so naturally I can't wait for more Uncharted. When I heard it was going to be in the desert and have more co-op modes I was pumped. I can't wait to play this.
3. Portal 2
I really liked Portal. More of that fun puzzle solving with new mult-player modes too. I'm really excited.
2. Spec Ops: The Line
It's set in Dubai which is awesome and I love games that give me choices and make me think about my actions. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.
1. L.A. Noire
I'm a huge Rockstar fan. They have been made some of my favorite games ever like Red Dead and GTA4 and I can't wait to see what they do with the 1940's.
What games are you duders most looking foward to?
Thanks for reading, Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
