Best of 2010

2010 has come and gone like that. And it turned out to be a pretty good year for gaming. This year has snatched a couple of 10's from a couple of our reviewers here at Casual Review. We decided to close the year by unveiling our Top 5 Games of 2010. Please take note that this list isn't official meaning we could be playing more games released that year, so this list might change. But we digress. Enjoy!

5. Just Cause 2

This game was unlike any other game I have played. Basically, the main character is part of a resistance to a country. He is equipped with some of the coolest gadgets i've seen in a game, an automatic grappel and parachute. You can grab onto a building or pole yards away, and it will pull you there really fast. Then, you can pull out your parachute, and go flying wherever you want. This combined with the fun vehicles, awesome fights, stunts (including fighiting while standing on top of moving cars and helicopters), makes the game a really fun experience.

4. Starcraft II: Wings Of Liberty

This sequel is much better than the original Starcraft. The story line is gripping, and will suck you in until you finish it. Blizzard introduced a ton of new units, which make the gameplay really fun. Both the campaign and multiplayer were very well done, making this game one of the best I've ever played. The entire game was very well done.

3. Halo Reach

I like most people was sick of the Halo series. But then Halo Reach came out and I was surprised at how awesome this game was. This game had everything a fan of the Halo series had and some new things that people like me like in sequels...or in this case a prequel. Amazing graphics, overall great storyline, extremely fun game play and stupendous music are just a few things that this game has to offer.

2. Super Mario Galaxy 2

Even thought Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a sequel that really doesn't stray far off from the first one, but is still incredibly fun and is a blast to play through. It has a fresh look to it and the gameplay is still near perfect. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a must-own for the Wii. Nintendo, you have done it again!

1. Mass Effect 2

This didn't come as a surprise to any of us. Mass Effect 2 was our game of the year by a mile. And why wouldn't it be? This is everything a sequel to a game should be like. Great graphics, exciting combat, gripping storyline, awesome characters, incredibly well-written script; the list goes on! The RPG genius' at Bioware have done it again. This is an experience not to be missed, even if you're not a fan of RPG's. Ladies and gentlemen: The Game of the Year.
