Hey Podtacular, DaftLink here to talk about my favorite games of 2010. My number one favorite game would of course be Halo: Reach for being Halo, having an epic yet melancholy campaign and being the ultimate epitome of Halo multiplayer madness.
Though Reach is at the top, I have a couple other favorites. Right now I'm really enjoying Red Dead Redemption for the huge, beautiful open world, tons of well voice-acted cutscenes and many other things such as the gun fights and endless stuff to do like Stranger Tasks. Also, I recently beat Transformers: War for Cybertron and it was the arguably the best Transformers game ever (although one based off of the Armada animated series that came out for PS2 a bunch of years back was very good) and is an extremely solid 3rd person shooter with sweet vehicle elements. Another game to mention is the RPG Final Fantasy XIII. The game did not disappoint and was a fantastic RPG with quite an amazing soundtrack.
Anyway, as I detest Call of Duty multiplayer, the only good things I have to say about Call of Duty: Black Ops is that Zombies is extremely fun and I enjoyed the campaign and its interesting storytelling method. Lastly, even though it might not be a standalone game, the World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm is pretty awesome. It introduced the Goblins and Worgen as playable races, made the older, original areas in the game updated and much cooler and set a new bar for the creativity and quality of the quests. Those are my highlights of 2010, keep on fraggin' Megan Fox for being WAY overhyped and not even that hot.....obsidian..

Hey Podtac! This has been a great year! I don't really have a top TEN of games as I am dirt poor but I have a top three!
3. Minecraft. I feel like a god in this game, so it's awesome!
2. Fable 3. YEARS of fun!
1. Halo Reach. Buff said...
Anyways, 2010 also had two of the biggest highs and lows of my life.
The high was RvB Revelation! The low was Halo 2's death... Anyways, thanks for reading, tata...
Oh, and I think on the creations show you read a sub from a while ago again, but whatever... Bye!

Hey Podtac Uzi is back with my best games of 2010.
1) Mass Effect 2: There is seriously nothing bad I can say about this game it is purely amazing though the removed much of the RPG element to the game it is still awesome with a superb storyline, excellent gameplay and unforgettable characters.
2) Call of Duty: Black Ops: Number two one my list is the best Call of Duty game to date the campaign was great, MP is still addicting and of course Zombies are still awesome, between the constant swarm of the Undead and the Characters hilarious dialog Zombies have gotten better, and I feel sorry for the people how didn’t get the Hardened Edition of the Game is the throwback zombie maps are well worth it.
3) Halo” Reach: Yes it’s number three but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great game. The Campaign was epic though not overly difficult (completed it on Legendary solo by the day after) the customization it excellent, and MP though I’ve never been good at it (or any Halo MP for that matter) is still good though not as addicting as Black Ops’s.
4) Fable III: Even though Peter Molyneux is still a lying jerk, Lionhead Studios gave out a winner this year though they stripped some of the things I liked about Fable II (mainly the invertory) and it is rather short, but between the evil Insulting Gnomes, ’Intelligent’ Chickens, and three men whom REALLY need to get out of the house more often Fable III is a hilarious game and worthy to be one of my top 5 games.
5) Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood: Though I haven’t played Multiplayer yet I can say the Single player is great and the twist at the end keeps you guessing.
Well those are my top five.
Keep On Fraggin’ Those Poor Poor Trucks.

My game of the year was Red Dead Redemption. The gritty western atmosphere was amazing and I had felt so many emotions running through me throughout the game. It may even have been the game of the decade for me.
