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

The voting is done with for another year, and once again it was a disappointingly small number of people who actually came out to vote, so for another year rather than a top 20 I'm keeping it to just the top 10. The list runs in reverse order, so if you're highly impatient and just want to know what claimed the top spot, then leap on down to the bottom. But have a read through, see what games ended up where and then have your say on the list.

So, what made it into the Gamingforce Game of the Year Top 10, well let's start with number 10 shall we, and like 2009 our first tied position:

10-. Limbo
[ XBLA | Playdead Studios ]



---------------------------

10-. Donkey Kong Country Returns
[ Wii | Retro Studios ]



---------------------------

9. Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations
[ NDS | Capcom ]



---------------------------

8. Heavy Rain
[ PS3 | Quantic Dream ]



---------------------------

6-. Super Mario Galaxy 2
[ Wii | Nintendo ]



---------------------------

6-. Red Dead Redemption
[ Multi | Rockstar San Diego ]



---------------------------

5. Vanquish
[ Multi | Platinum Games ]



---------------------------

4. Halo: Reach
[ 360 | Bungie ]



---------------------------

3. Bayonetta
[ Multi | Platinum Games ]



---------------------------

2. VVVVVV
[ PC | Terry Cavanagh ]



---------------------------

1. Mass Effect 2
[ Multi | BioWare ]

---------------------------

So there you have it, the Gamingforce Game of the Year 2010 Top 10. So what should have been there, what shouldn't have? What was too high, and what was too low? Start the discussion/bitching...

Thanks to everyone who took part in the voting stage. I said this last year I guess, but not sure I'll be doing this again next year, we'll see.

How ya doing, buddy?

PC games never as popular as console games, really? 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.

Most amazing jew boots

Pretty sure Starcraft 2 was one of the games you questioned the lack of appearance of in this top 10, so yeah I will cite Blizzard games. You can't very well stand there and suggest these games didn't make it into the list because of lack of sales and then moan when I point out that, actually, some of the games you mention did actually sell very well.

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