The time has finally come! Gamer Limit is ringing in the new year with the best game 2010 had to offer.
All of our Editors and Writers voted with their choices, and the majority vote won: so keep that in mind if you don’t see your favorite game below. Without further ado – hit the jump for our choice!
Game of the Year 2010 – Mass Effect 2
Gamer Limit’s GOTY choice wasn’t a huge stretch: Mass Effect 2 managed to wow just about everyone in the video game realm, including staff member Chris Carter, who awarded it a score of 9.5.
Boasting one of the greatest, dynamic ending sequences of all time, and full, perfectly casted voice acting, Mass Effect 2 is a force to be reckoned with. With a myriad of choices at every turn mixed with high paced hi-tech shooting action, you really can’t go wrong with Commander Shephard and his crew the second time around.
Well deserved! I’m ridiculously excited to see what they do with ME3, I’m hoping that we see some real repercussions from the choices we have made so far.
Mass Effect 2 isn’t even out yet and you’re already giving it game of the year? Pathetic.
Mass Effect 2′s been out for quite awhile. Are you maybe talking about Mass Effect 3?
Perhaps, he means the forthcoming PS3 version that uses ME3′s engine.
Mass Effect 2 came out in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PC platforms – just to be clear
I like my PS3 more than my 360, but I don’t think I could have played ME2 with a clean conscience knowing I hadn’t played ME. That’s why I’m playing them both on the 360.
@big surprise: MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!! lol
Great pick, one most sites seem to be agreeing with too! Still in retrospect I think Red Dead pushes the envelope a bit more in terms of story and presentation. No one can argue that ME2 isn’t worthy though.
In Bioware I trust.
to accommodate the PS3, you need two PS3s. one must be 3.55 or less and jaoblriken, the other must be the latest firmware. when u put the patch on PS3 jaoblriken and make a data transfer by connecting the two systems with an ethernet cable.
@Karkarov, you’re my best friend. I still think RDR deserves game of the year. I’ll tip my hat to Mass Effect 2, though. Yes, @datdude, in Bioware we trust.
I agree with the choice, I honestly thought 2010 was a slow year in terms of blockbuster titles. ME2 and RDR were far and away the cream of the crop. ME2 just took everything I loved about ME1 and polished and refined the heck out of it. Incredible replayablity, Great Writing, Interesting Characters, the list goes on. So stoked for ME3 this year!
Yes you can use them to write checks get cash etc. BUT it is a huge mksiate!Rip the checks up ASAP they give you 6 months with 0% interest but charge you a fee to cash the check and they know you can’t pay it all off in 6 months. They will get thier money from you don’t fall into this credit trap!Live debt free! It is a wonderful feeling.
-Note: I will add a LOT more to this review the more I play it. Stay tuned.-First tgnihs first here’s what you get when you get Forza 4 at or soon after launch date:The limited quantity Ship Bonus car pack available for fans who order Forza 4 early: 1965 Ford Mustang GT Coupe 2011 Koenigsegg Agera 1997 Lexus SC300 2011 RUF RGT-8 2011 Tesla Roadster Sport It’s finally here! After what seemed like decades, Forza Motorsport 4 is now available, much to the delight of video game and car enthusiasts everywhere. Given how great Forza 3 was, could Forza 4 be even better?The answer is, well yes.Forza 4 is everything the third was, and more. More cars, more manufacturers, more racers online (16-players!), and, although not TOO many more, more tracks. I could make this review be 5,000 words long, but rather than do that, I’ll try to make it relatively short. This game’s incredible. I already said that, didn’t I? Aw but seriously. The World Tour mode is absolutely brilliant, and makes the single-player more fun to play, whereas in Forza 3 at least in my opinion the game was much better online. The only real downfall in World Tour is that, although the A.I. is SUPPOSED to get better or worse depending on your playing abilities, it doesn’t work all that well, and you’ll breeze through half the career or so with no trouble at all if you’re a somewhat competant driver. The best thing about the World Tour, is that you unlock cars each time you level up. And now you’re likely saying, Hey. Idiot. We could do that in Forza 3. But this time? You get a selection of normally between 2 and 5 cars to pick, and let me tell you, a lot of the time you are going to rip your hair out trying to decide which car you want. Lamborghini, Ferrari, or McLaren. Hm Also in the single-player is the all-new Autovista mode, which allows you to take a look at a handful of the game’s hottest cars, inside and out. Not only do you get some random British guy giving you information, you also get a bit of commentary from Top Gear’s own Jeremy Clarkson, and lucky for us, Turn 10 didn’t give him a script to read he’s as Jeremy-ish as ever. I should also let you know that to get the cars available in Autovista, you have to complete single-player tasks, so you can’t turn your 360 on, go to Autovista, and check out Halo’s Warthog right out of the gate. As a matter of fact, it’ll take you quite a long while before being able to check that thing out. Autovista isn’t going to be for everyone I for one find it pretty cool, but I wouldn’t check out a car more than once, but there are some people that will spend quite a bit of time drooling in it, and then another group of people that will find it completely and utterly boring.That sums up the single-player in a nutshell, really. Given that the game hasn’t been released at the time of this review, I’m unable to review the multiplayer effectively, so I’ll add that in at a later date. How’s the game look? How does it sound? Let me just say that this is the best looking game I’ve ever seen on a video game console it’s CAR PORN at its finest, and the sound only enhances it. While Forza Motorsport 3 had some cars that sounded sort of meh, Forza 4 is just insane that’s really the only way I can think to describe it. The tire squeeling, the engines reving, the gears shifting, all of it is pretty much unbelievable. The one downfall is the soundtrack, which I believe would be more at home in an arcade racer, not a simulation game like Forza.I’ve already said it probably half a dozen times, but Forza Motorsport 4 is THE GAME for fans of cars. With so many cars and more to come in the way of downloadable content over the months, there is something for anybody with a pulse. This review was quite brief, as I didn’t want to explain every single little thing in the game, but I think I got the point across I have a gut feeling this game will be my Game of the Year, and I’ve yet to play Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim, or anything like that yet. Yeah. It’s that good. Pros: Several hundred cars with plenty of more coming in the months following release. Improved everything, as you’d expect car physics are more realistic than ever. 16-player online racing.Cons: Only five new tracks, and developer Turn 10 isn’t guaranteeing there will be more in the future as DLC. No Porsche due to licensing issues, although a few RUFs are available. (It’s rumored that Porsche may be downloadable content after EA’s exclusitivity rights expire in December.) No weather effects or night racing.5/5
