It's November, and pretty much every anticipated game of 2010 is in stores now- but which one stands out from the crowd? I'll be scouting out the answer from my readers, but here are the nominees:
MASS EFFECT 2 (360, PS3, 10/10)- This hit combined improved shooting mechanics, detailed character models and a gripping plot for one of the best sequels of all time, leaving fans desperate for the final instalment in the trilogy.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION (360, PS3, 9.5/10)- For all of its glitches, Red Dead was perhaps the most faithful rendition of the Old West in gaming through the eyes of cowboy protagonist John Marston, and thus makes the list of sheer admiration for its realism
SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 (Wii, 10/10)- Given the console it's on, criminally this gem was overlooked by most gamers, but Nintendo owners got a sensational improvement on the original Galaxy (9.5/10), with a stunning orchestral soundtrack to boot.
HALO: REACH (360, 10/10)- A hard one to rate, Reach's best moments were only possible because Halo 3 (10/10) laid the groundwork for them. Despite the plot not being up to the Chief's standards, this got a 10 for all the possibilities available online.
ASSASSIN'S CREED: BROTHERHOOD (360, PS3, 10/10)- Once again, Brotherhood stole many of its ideas from Assassin's Creed 2 (9.5), and yet it used them so much more gracefully than that title, and the multi-player makes for an even more worthwhile package!
Expect the final verdict on the Game of the Year this December...
