[General Discussion] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2010: RESULTS - The Top, er, 11

Hmm...interesting list.

Mass Effect 2 deserved #1, no question about it. Even thought it came out Q1 it remained the best of 2010 by a mile. No other game came even close to it.

But...where is Starcraft 2? Civilization V, Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Just Cause 2. I guess I have no right to even complain about it, but this is really surprising. Not a single one of them even showed up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The fact that Starcraft 2 and Civ 5 only came out on PC didnt do them any favors, that's for sure. It's sadly just a fact that PC games will never be as popular as console games in the current day and age.

Still, Starcraft 2 is pretty impressive. I was one of those that was almost sure it would suck but the single player alone impressed the hell out of me. It has like what, 30 missions? and each one is unique in its own way, the way you can interact after every mission. It was great, well was well worth the wait.

I could agree with what you are saying about AC: Brotherhood, however, if that were the case Super Mario Galaxy 2 wouldnt be here either, I mean lets be honest here. I wouldnt go as far as saying it could have gone as DLC. It's actually pretty big, and the multiplayer was a nice touch too.

Just Cause 2, that one doesnt surprise me perse. It's just overshadowed by the bigger releases. Definitely the biggest sandbox game I ever played, though. It really is too big for it's own good.

I'll try to be on the bandwagon next year. Just remember, Mass Effect 3 and Elder Scrolls: Skyrim will be #1 and #2 respectively.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Man, guess someone forgot to tell Starcraft 2 (has reportedly sold 4.5 million so far) and World of Warcraft Cataclysm (sold something like 4.5 million in the first 24 hours of release). Sure these numbers aren't necessarily up there with something like Call of Duty, but then nothing is up there with Call of Duty at the moment.

Oh come on, 2 Blizzard games, one is a sequel people have been waiting for for over 10 years, the other is a MMORPG, which has had a monopoly for over 5 years. The fact that they are both from Blizzard isnt a coincidence either. Blizzard knows how to make good games so no surprise that they sell well. They are a pretty big exception though. Generally PC games don't do nearly as well as on consoles.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
