Call of Duty: Black Ops is finally out, and in that case the final big first person shooter of 2010 signals it's about time for my naming of the best shooter of the year (don't worry, your chance to give your verdict will come very soon!). So, without further ado, here are the contenders...
MASS EFFECT 2 (10/10): Not so much a shooter as a role-playing game, Mass Effect 2 sent shockwaves through the gaming world with its excellent visuals, sublime shooting mechanics and stunning plot, and is still one of my favourite titles of 2010.
BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY 2 (9/10): This had the hefty job of matching up to Modern Warfare 2's dominance of Fall 2009 (9.5/10), but Battlefield: Bad Company 2 nearly managed to top it, providing endless online fun, a comedic and epic tale, plus some great new setpieces to boot. Battlefield didn't prove a top seller, but it put up a damn good fight.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION (9.5/10): Once again more RPG than shooter, Red Dead put its ultra-cool 'Dead Eye' slow-mo gimmick to superb use, bringing a little bit of the Wild West back into everyone's lives, and with a great yarn to watch once it picked up its pace (if you missed it, go back and buy it- you won't regret it.)
