Game of the Year Awards for 2010




Last year PS3 issues prevented me from playing many of the biggest games of the year. Well since then I have played almost every major game I wanted to play from 2010. I feel like I am finally ready to write my 2010 GOTY winners. I still have no 360 so no exclusives will be included, though I dont think it would have changed much. This is very late so I will keep it simple.

Misc Awards

Best Graphics: God of War 3, STUNNING, like a moving painting!!

Runner up Mass Effect 2

Best Story: Red Dead Redemption, in terms of gaming storytelling this game is one of the best. Fantastic ending as well.

Runner up Mass Effect 2

Best Music: Super Mario Galaxy 2, continues in the tradition of the first game with some of the most enjoyable music in gaming

Runner up Final Fantasy 13

Best New IP: Bayonetta, action gaming greatness, best since DMC

Runner up Vanquish

Most Disappointing Game: Okamiden, just a shadow of its predessesor

Runner up Vanquish

Best Publisher: Nintendo, with a collection of games like SMG2, DKCR, Metroid Other M they were once again the best

Runner up Sony

Most Disappointing Game: Okamiden, just a shadow of its predessesor

Runner up Vanquish

Best Downloadable game: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, most fun I have had with a Tomb Raider game in years

Runner up Pac Man Championship DX

Genre Awards

Best Platformer: Super Mario Galaxy 2, easily the best platformer and one of the best games ever made.

Runner up Donkey Kong Country Returns

Best Sports Game: NBA2K11, best basketball game of all time.

Runner up Gran Turismo 5

Best Action/Adventure Game: Red Dead Redemption, best non GTA, GTA like game of all time.

Runner up God of War 3

Best RPG: Mass Effect 2... this is no RPG, lol. Whatever it gets called that so I migh as well put it here.

Runner up Fallout New Vegas (which is a real RPG, fantastic game with too many glitches that keeps it from masterpiece status.)

Best Shooter: Mass Effect 2, more in line with what this game is.

Runner up Vanquish

Game of Year 2010

mass-effect-2-ps3-graphics.jpg

This game blew me away from start to finish. It uses one of my favorite genres, sci-fi, mixes it with what I love to do most in gaming, action, and has an incredible story with amazing characters and lasts like 50 hours. It retains the most basic of RPG elements, in my opinion the only ones that count. At its heart its mostly a shooter and its a damn good one at that. But when you mix in all the other elements into a great shooter you get a masterpiece. Its the kind of genre mash up I have been dreaming of.

Runner up Super Mario Galaxy 2, so amazing, so memorable and one of the best games this gen. This does not lose easily, it is a very close call but I played a game just like this two years ago.

I never understood the painting comparisons either. GoW3 is a good looking game, but why everyone comes up with the painting example?

Its in reference to what David Jaffe said about the game way back before it was revealed.

"FUCK YOU! I ain't no fan boy but this mother fucking game looks like nothing you've ever played...and you can hold me to that when this thing hits and when they start showing gameplay footage. It looks like a painting come to life- it's THAT good looking."

This? LOL

Not a fan boy, just an idiot.

Jaffe quotes ftw, though.

Mass Effect 2 came out in 2010. Doesn't matter when the ports hit it is a 2010 game.

Again.

You never played the game, only the port. And even if your PS3 never broke, you still would have not played ME2 in 2010 and still would have voted for SMG2 in the VG Press GoTY awards. The awards that are official. I rest my case.

It's kinda irrelevent given that SMG2 should beat it easily anyway.

/Steel holy cow post.

Okamiden didn't come out until this year. Are you in such a hurry to trash it that you gave it an award for 2010?

Oops, it was hard to keep track of which games were which year. Normally I just look at what games I played last year, this rime I had to look at this year as well.

Iva you are crazy, a GOTY is determined by when it came out not when you played it.

Who is Iva?
And no Vader we already had a GoTY awards. You participated in it and yet you did not choose ME2. Do you expect us to wait until you bought an 360 in 2014 before you submit your GoTY?
