What was your #1 rated game of 2010?

[ViviTheMage]

BC2-Vietnam for online
FO NV was fun for offline ... I do not play a lot of offline games anymore, and this and FO3 were the only ones I played.

 

[imaheadcase]

best: Bad company 2
worst: Black Ops

I tried getting into DOW 2 but it just really was not fun. Story was kinda meh, rts part of it was meh and the missions were just boring. What surprised me is that I was such a big fan of COH that DOW2 from what I heard was supposed to be just like it..... THEY LIED!!!!

As for the 2010 best game of the year... honestly....I am toooo cheap to buy games the first year they come out. Unless it was discounted like BFBC2 which I thought was a good game even though it is not the successor to BF2. I should probably reinstall it....

Yeah i felt the same about DOW2, i wanted company of heros in space or failing that at least a more modern version of DOW1, better graphics, zoom out more etc, it didnt really deliver either of those.

Never played the first.... is it that good?

Yes. It plays much more like CoH than DoW2 does.

 

[MustangSVT]

best : mafia 2 (i wished it was sooo much longer)
worst: Front Mission PC... what a pos. they have ruined the series.

Its a step down from CoH if playing online, theres like 9 factions now so balance is out the window. Still its very cheap and the campaigns are fun, id say its worth a shot.

 

[DefDC]

I really can't decide. Probably the most fun was:

Fallout: New Vegas
Dragon Age
ME:2
Risen
Bioshock2

Online:
Bad Company 2

Here I was thinking there weren't many good games out this year, but there were a ton. I've given up on RTS. Didn't play Starcraft, SupCom2, or any C&C. (For the last two, it sounds like it was a good thing) I really need a good story or good FPS multiplayer to keep me entertained.

 

[nyker96]

I'd have to say for 2010 quite a few, but BC2 is one, also I like Borderlands and of course ME2.

 

[supastar1568]

For me its StarCraft 2. Never played the first one, don't know anything about the story, just jumped in SC2 and started multiplayer. Fun fun. Then I started doing 3v3s and even more fun!

 

[motsm]

Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast.

Quake 2, The Reckoning, and Ground Zero. I had played Quake 2 when I was a kid, but I re bought it, so I'm counting it.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Hmmm . . . . I will now disregard anything posted by you in perpetuity.

Mass Effect 2, by a mile. Dragon Age with an honorable mention, and a Razzie for their sh!tty DLC.

Meh. Different strokes for different folks. If you add up all the time I've spent playing CIV games in the last 20 years, it probably exceeds the amount of time I spent playing all other types of games combined. Civ 5 has some ups and downs, but I still love it. Also, the OP asked for what I would rate as the #1 game, not what was the most highly reviewed or critically acclaimed by the masses. Hell, I could have said Bane of the Cosmic Forge if I wanted to.

Also FWIW, I am one of the few folks that genuinely do not enjoy Bioware RPG's. I find them . . . tedious. Not that they aren't well done. They definitely are. I just have so little time to play that it very well could take me 3 years to finish either one of those games. And it just isn't fun for me to play 30 minutes, every other day and try to remember what the heck so and so said 2 days ago. Not to mention that the bulk of that time will be spent reading or listening to dialogue.

 

[GullyFoyle]

After some deliberation...Battlefield Bad Company 2.

 

[Qbah]

Easy for me - Mass Effect 2.

 

[sash1]

Really? It looked so bad i thought it was some proprietary engine. Well, there goes the complete console port confirmation. It's a great game if you can get past the slightly old graphics.

yeah. because graphics matter. screw gameplay and story, it's all about those pixels, son!

 

[Locut0s]

Dragon Age Origins.

 

[misle]

I'm normally a RPG junkie, but I found ME2 lackluster. I also didn't really get into Dragon Age or Fallout New Vegas (& I loved FO3). I will go back and play them through eventually.

This year, the games I've played and enjoyed the most are:
Minecraft
Just Cause 2
Stalker: Call of Pripyat

honorable mention goes to the DeathSpank games.

 

[Zargon]

steam says BC2. 196 hours of it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

For 2010, I found that most of the my (pleasant) surprises were more attributed to the indie games - I've tried World of Goo, Braid, Osmos, Machinarium, etc. for the first time in 2010, and they were fantastic - much more in-tune, experimental, and "core" with what I've played in the past, evoking more of the "one more turn" feel than some of the over-produced interactive movies that are big-budget games coming out now (while impressive in their own right, the gameplay offered is becoming overly formulaic, IMO; and no, I didn't pick up SC2 or CIV5 . . . yet).

If it's talking outside of the PC/console categorization, what I can do with Kinect (really just play Dance Central w/ Mrs. Schadenfreude) and - more importantly and pertinent - what other people over the world have been doing with it just blows me out of the water.

I regularly scour the review sites and general consensus on forums (and I wait for game prices to drop generally) so I know better than to try some random hyped-up craptacular game - for the most part (RE5, I'm looking at you).

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Yes. It plays much more like CoH than DoW2 does.

Yeah get the first one and download the Eldar Harlequins mod for it, SO SICK.

 

[Zenoth]

Mass Effect 2

 

[biostud]

DoW; II Chaos rising and Assassins Creed II has most played hours for me, so I guess that will be the two games for me.

Funny..I loved ME2 but didn't really get into CoP. I might try again when my 5870 comes in and I can turn all the eye candy on..

 

[Frankie]

Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.... in that order
