10. Bayonetta. This is maybe the first new game i played at the beginning of the year and for all the parts that annoyed me and the bits that were bastard hard it was still a enjoyable game to play, Bayonetta is a cracking character with bags of personality. Well worth a play i would say.
9. Dead Rising 2. Im a bit of a nut on zombies i think there fantastic they improve every game they feature in. Even tho the story is a bit rubbish and the constant time limit on your game will annoy some people even tho i dont mind it. The main fun of the game is coop for me smashing zombies all over with a friend is great stuff using mental weapons like a chainsaw paddle.
8. Alan Wake. I really enjoyed this game even tho i didnt live up to its 4 years worth of hype i enjoyed its story and really got into the character of alan wake as he fights his way though the darkness and eventually his own mind.
7.Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. Im not a massive driving game fan but i and a fan of fun and this is one game with fun in abundance, made by the masters of crazy racers criterion who games us the stella burnout series. The game also has a very clever facebook inspired profile for all users called autolog which lets you know every time a friend beats your time and allows you too jump back into the race to beat there score very addictive.
6.Fable 3. The final chapter in the fable games where your new hero fights to become ruler of albion and deal with all the hard decisions that come with being a ruler, which is really where the game comes into its own as you have to weigh the pros and cons of all your decisions and how they will effect your population and how they view you as a person.
5.Halo Reach. Im a massive halo fan ive been playing them since the day it came out on the original xbox so to see this the best halo game ever released at only 5 on my list is kinda a suprise to even me such is the strength of the next 4 games. Anyway this is typical halo which to me feels very much like the first game again add to this the fantastic multiplayer and you have a very strong title.
4.Battlefield Bad Company 2. This is the best multiplayer game ive played all year far better than halo and miles better than call of duty imo, it has a far bigger scale than most online shooters combining tanks helicopters and boats leading to some interesting combat situations and the most fun you can have shooting a guy in the face. The single player campaign is not to sharp but thats not really the point.
3.God of War 3. The best game that came out on the ps3 exclusive that came out this year (tho i can only recall two other ps3 exclusives that came out this year) Kratos is a killing machine and his vengance on the gods of Olympus in horrific ways.
2.Mass Effect 2. I really really love this game as my review said ages ago. Stunning visuals and great gameplay its like sexy violent star trek. The dlc is also fantastic and worth buying this game is the total package.
1.Red Dead Redemption. Game of my year with dlc of my year. The game looks and plays amazingly with a story that draws you in to its world and refuses to let you leave by the end of this game i cared about the fate of protagonist John Marston more than my own need to eat sleep and shit its that enthralling, anyone who is yet to play this game is simply denying themselves a breath taking experience.
til next time
