SPOILER ALERT!! Just in case I start to ramble and don't realize I just spoiled something that I didn't mean too.

Top 10 Games of 2010

10. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 -
Oh this game, such a disappointment. I had such high hopes for this to be the next epic thing in gaming but it wasn't even close to that. Now don't get me wrong, it's a great game but the expectations of mine killed it for me. Well that along with a shody and extremely short story. In fact, if it wasn't for this game being a Star Wars game, it probably would be one of the worst games of the year for me but I have an extremely soft spot for it and try to only look at the (few) amazing things that this game does have. Maul-killer FTW.

9. MAG -
Take Modern Warfare 2 and minus the annoying people and hackers. Then add in another 238 players per match, people who know what they're doing and want to win WITHOUT cheating, and extremely customizable characters and you have MAG.

8. Split/Second -
The best racing game since Need for Speed Underground 2. Yea I said it, that was an awesome game, and so is this one. The only downfall of this game is what I refer to as the "Mario Kart syndrome." Meaning, it doesn't really matter how good at racing games you are, all it takes is for the person behind you to get a power up and you could be in last place. 

7. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions -
Four completely different Spider-Man universes and all of Spidey's greatest enemies. That's the formula for the best Spider-Man game since Spider-Man 2. Now how many more times can I say Spider-Man in my mini year ending review for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions...Spider-Man.

6. Mega Man 10 -
Didn't really do anything new, with the exception of some characters to play as and adding an easy mode. But even still, a solid Mega Man game, which is better then a lot of other games out there.

5. UFC: Undisputed 2010 -
Awesome game, with an even better career mode. Controls are a little rough to learn and get used to, but at the same time they're very simplistic. This game would be much higher on my list, possibly  number one or two because I really had a lot of fun playing it but the online mode killed it for me. It's easy to get into a match and everything but it's the community, they're probably on par with the MW2 people.

4. Super Meat Boy -
 This game is so much fun. That's the best way to describe it. The game is the love child of N+ and Donkey Kong, and the reason you're thinking that sounds pretty awesome, is because it is.

3. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker -
 The spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid 3 and considered by some to be Metal Gear Solid 5. It gives you everything you could ask for from a Metal Gear game; amazing cut scenes, awesome game play, espionage, Big Boss, CQC, cigars, and confusion. Since this game is on the PSP, the levels are a lot shorter and sectioned off so you can quickly get in a level on the go. It also brought in a lot of RPG elements, with recruiting a team to help you in missions and create weapons for you. Also giving your weapons and team members levels and stats to max out for the ultimate tactical espionage operations.

2. Mass Effect 2 -
Following the classic trilogy format, Mass Effect 2 does NOT disappoint. The game builds off of the foundation the first game built and expands on it. Putting all the new and old heroes in the shittiest situations and setting up the final installment in the trilogy.

1. God of War 3 -
 EPIC. That's all that needs to be said about this game. This game bleeds epic-ness. It took everything from the first two games and improved on them and perfectly ends the story of Kratos.

I would also like to add in that there were a few games that I didn't get the chance to play that I think may have made this list.
  • Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
  • Fable 3
  • Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
  • Super Mario Galaxy 2
So there you have it, my "Top 10 Games of 2010." Check back for my "Top 10 Movies of 2010" real soon.
