Although it was over 30 levels, it did lack the depth most gamers have come to expect from today’s games. Judging from the [...]

Game of the Year 2010
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Game of the Year: Red Dead Redemption Normally, games based on the Wild West never properly capture the essence of the era. As Red Dead Redemption has shown, it’s not all about gun-slinging and duels to the death at dawn. No. The Wild West takes on a life of its own: it’s a world filled [...]

Reader’s Choice – Best of 2010
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Winner: Heavy Rain (31% of the vote) The case of the Origami Killer is one filled with more twists and turns than a John Grisham novel.

Biggest Disappointment of 2010
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Loser: Final Fantasy XIII Final Fantasy is known for its beautiful graphics, deep strategy, vast exploration through unknown worlds, often riddled with interesting characters, numerous side quests, and enthralling story lines.
