Boris’s Top 10 List of stuff he played in 2010

By Dave "Boris" Orosz | 05 January 2011 | Editorial | , | 0 Comments   

It was a crazy year of games in 2010. We got to see some amazing revolutions and some comedic flops, but overall I did what I could to play as much as I could to completion. That was my resolution for last year, to finish the games I started and I think I did pretty well overall.

Before I get to the top ten list, I’ll list the games I played this year which therefore are the games competing against each other for my top spots. I’m sure you might think Red Dead Redemption or COD Blops are way better than some of the stuff on here, but I didn’t play those so I can’t put it on my list and still retain what shred of credibility I may have. Here’s what I spent my time playing this year with hyperlinks to the various reviews and podcasts where we talk about the games:
