We're reaching the end of the Year, and i've been more than happy with this year.
We had tons of great releases, a small Nintendo Comeback, PS Move, Kinect, the 3DS announcement and tons more.

I just think this was overall a really solid year, and i would really like to know what where some of your favourite Games.

My Top 5 Games of 2010

5. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Sky (NDS)
I was pretty hyped for this game, because of its awesome Customization, Overworld, tons of Quest, all the Monsters and more. At the beginning, it wasn't as good as i expected it to be, but it was still awesome.
I mainly didn't like the slow start, but later it just gets amazing. There's a huge Overworld, and hundreds of different Monsters. I loved the fresh colors, the funny dialogues, the great character designs by Akira Toriyama. Sadly, i didn't finish the Game because i recently started to hang out a lot, so i'm always outside and have no time for the game. But i may go back to it someday.
Another awesome part was the soundtrack:

4. Minecraft (FREE) (PC/Mac)
First of all, i want you to know that i played only the FREE Version of the Game. I played it for the first time Yesterday, and i was immediately amazed. I built a castle. Then i built an extremely high tower with a secret passage under it, that leads far away from it. Then i built a Villa made out of gold with a bedroom, a secret passage, a small garden, and a swimming pool. Then i built another castle, with a huge room inside and a huge window that has an excellent panorama. Then i build a small house, with 7 secret passages. It looks like a small stupid house, but it's HUGE inside. I'm not trying to tell you about the things i built, but about the awesomeness of this game. I did this all in less than a day, because i am extremely sick at home and i'm bored, and this game is enourmously fun.
I'm pretty shure the complete version of the game is awesome.


3. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Wii)
This is a really good game, online. i haven't really played the Single Player Campaign, so can't really talk about that. It looks like this is the best balanced CoD game, ever. The only gun that seems slightly overpowered, is the AK-74u, if you attach it a grip and rapid fire its GOD. There are tons of weapons, and a nice diversity of attachments, such as shotguns, silencers, advanced sights, and such kind of stuff. The maps are really diverse from each other, some are mostly fought on Long Range, some are mostly based on Close Quarter Battles. My favourite map so far is Summit, mainly because i really like the snow, and it's overall a well crafted map. I'm level 46 as of now, and my favourite gun is the spectre with ACOG Sight.
FC: 0062-4508-3206

2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
I started really disliking this game, because i got often frustrated by the controls, while you where upside down and such stuff. I started putting more effort into it, and i ended really liking the game. I had never played the first Super Mario Galaxy, but i really like the Strong Colors and the Classic Remixed Soundtrack they made for it. Yoshi was also really nice to use, especially with that Sprinting Red Yoshi. I was just so happy in the end getting the final Star from Bowser, it was extremely satisfying. I still haven't got all the Stars, and i haven't even got one Secret Star, so i hope i'll find some time to get back to it.
Here's my favourite Music Track remix in this Game:

1. Starcraft II (PC/Mac)
I LOVED this game. Absolutely. This was the first and only game i ever Pre-Ordered. When it came to my house, i popped it in, and did nothing else until the sun started going down. It just so damn well balanced in between the three races: Zerg, Protoss and Terran. I used them all, but i just loved Zerg Rushing. My favourite part of this game was 4vs4 online, and just do thousands of Zerglings. And when everyone goes to attack, i make everthing collapse. It's just Awesome. This is definitely my favourite game of the year.

Honorable Mentions:
Plants Vs. Zombies (iPod Touch)

I Haven't Played (but i would like to):
Donkey Kong Returns (Wii)
Minecraft Alpha (PC/Mac)
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (PC/Mac)
Goldeneye 007 (Wii)
Sin and Punishment 2 (Wii)

Your list seems pretty solid, but you should definitely try and play Donkey Kong Country Returns. It is a tough one, Wii motes will be thrown, but it is satisfying. Although my memories are a bit faded from the golden ages of gaming where platforming was supreme, I get the same feeling from playing this game and finishing a tough level as i did when playing the old school platformers. Sin and Punishment 2 is also on my list of games to play, i am regretting missing the opportunity when it first came out, it seems fast paced and fun.

I have a hard time answering this. I seem to like most games as I'm playing them and they rank in my top five. Then, down the road, new games become my new top five. This year has been funny to me, some games I looked forward to all year were just ok, while some I bought just because I wanted to try out a random game turned out to be awesome.. Wish I could give you a top game(s), but I just can't point to a small number and say those are my top when I loved so many games that were new to me during this year.

Honestly I don't think I can answer this because most of the games Ive been playing were out before 2010 so I can't make a list good idea anyway.

It can be ANY kind of Video Game. I also think some people misunderstood, you don't need to do a top 5, i just did it for myself. You should mainly just talk about your favourite games of this year. :)

My list is as follows:

God of War III
Etrian Odyssey III
Mafia II
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Alan Wake
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Deathsmiles
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Dragon Quest IX
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Vanquish

Where these rank is yet to be determined; I've played so many games this year and it's hard to limit my selection to just a few titles, especially with the last quarter of the year being especially strong for new releases. I hope 2011 will be just as good, so I had better start saving up :)

I Like Games.

I still have yet to sit down and try and formulate my top list of games for 2010, but I still have a few games I have yet to play and need to play a bit more of others before I make my list so I estimate my list will be done likely by the end of january. This is going to be really hard to piece together this years list...

Agree. Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 3 and ES5. Heck maybe GoW3 and LA Noir will make a debut. But... I am really, really interested in what happens with Max Payne 3!!!!! 2010 was great. 2011 will be epic.

I can't really assemble a top five as it's difficult to choose from the heaps of great games that come out (2010 really was a watershed year and 2011 looks even better.) However, I can sum it up to three:

3. VVVVVV
2. Red Dead Redemption
1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 [luigidance]
