What’s Your Favorite Release This Year?

Today, Nick and I were chatting during Web Zeroes filming (or rather, after, while I was level grinding in Final Fantasy XIII), and we got to talking about how great of an opening 4 month stretch we’ve had so far in 2010. With some excellent releases, this could be maybe best first quarter I can remember in gaming.

There are any number of titles so far that can be game of the year candidates, and that’s not even mentioning some of the great games that will be coming out later in the year. Since our last poll was so successful, we thought we’d try our hands at another. So far, my favorite game of the year is Mass Effect 2, though Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Final Fantasy XIII are the next two in line. I’ve never quite played another game like ME2, and I think it might stand as my game of the year when the year is said and done.

What is your favorite game of 2010 so far?

  1. definitely ME2, even though its the only game on this list ive played (curse university for existing). it would still be my pick even if i had time to have played the rest

  2. I enjoyed ME2. It had a great story with a lot of customizability to it. IMO though, BFBC2 was a better game. I enjoyed the single player, not nearly as much as ME2, but the multiplayer was awesome. It definitely took the game to the next level.

  3. Only game on that list I own is ME2, so it’s a bit biased. Still, I haven’t played a game like it before, and I love it. There aren’t alot of games I can sink 154 hours into with ease and enjoy at the same times. The 200+ hours I’ve put into the original ME and ME2 have been worth every minute. Fallout 3 with 221 hours and TF2 with 518 hours are the only other contenders =D

  4. Hey, havent logged in for awhile but I never stopped reading the site… I was a huge fan of Mass Effect but Im going to show Just Cause 2 some love, even though Bolo Santosi’s voice actress made me want to smash my xbox… God of War was great too, but I beat it and havent turned my playstation on since

    Honestly though, my favorite game so far this year hasnt even come out, each picture and trailer released for Red Dead Redemption makes me wonder how the hell will I be able to wait another month

  5. Tough toss up between ME2 and Bad Company 2. While I didn’t love ME2 as much as everyone else, I still really, really enjoyed it. BC2 is providing me with some quality multiplayer time, though. Can’t I love both?

  6. BFBC2 for Multiplayer, Assassin’s Creed II for Single Player – Duuuh, I’m on a PC, it counts as a 2010 release for me!

    Quiet you.

    Yeah, 4 games at 20 hours a piece. That’s about what you spent on Dragon Age, right?
