The top 10 Xbox 360 games of 2010 are quite varied. Ranging from the dark psychological
horror/suspense game Alan Wake to the throwback comeback Super Street Fighter 4, to the zombie
destroying Dead Rising 2, this years list is guaranteed to give you carpal tunnel, so here are the top 10
Xbox games of 2010
1. Super Street Fighter 4.
The veritable side scrolling 2D arcade fighter is back, building off the success of Street Fighter 4, and
bringing enough more to the table to challenge even the most grizzled veteran of Street Fighter 4.
Introducing the new Focus Attack, you will be racking up hundred hit unblock able combos in no time.
2. Splinter Cell: Conviction
Sam Fishers here again, and this time he is doing it for himself, and against the people he has called
family for most of his professional killing career. With all new crowd dynamics, the ability to choose
between stealth and brutal run and gun (without being penalized), and some new flashy make-up (the
developers decided to put all your directions in-game up on your surroundings in big eye catching
letters and colors) you are not just sitting with that snake came out waiting for that guy on the other
side of the door to move his ass. Now you can just blow a hole in the door and move on.
3. Crackdown 2
Basically Crackdown. Except now, you get to blow mutants apart with UV light though.
4. Halo: Reach
Filling in a huge gap in the Halo universe, and a prequel to the first Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved)
Halo: Reach tells the story of Noble Team, an Elite group of Spartans that were stationed on the Planet
Reach before it was overrun and destroyed by the covenant (leading into the whole reason Master Chief
is even awakened in the first Halo). It plays a lot more like the game it is preceding, rather than Halo 2
or 3, giving you a rechargeable shield and actual health now. Everything else is pretty… well… Halo.
5. Mass Effect 2
Taking you through the journey with Shepherd once again, Mass Effect 2 does it in pretty much the
same way. Hot keys for powers, linear skill trees for role characters, and whole lot of space to travel
(which is made a lot easier since you don’t have to actually land on those pesky planets to learn about
them) Mass Effect 2 leaves you feeling like you have done this before.
6. Bioshock 2
Putting you in charge of those little sisters you so lovingly saved (or butchered) by fitting you with the
big iron shoes of the first ever (that’s right, another prequel) Big Daddy, you will be shattering splicers
and other Big Daddies before you can collect enough adam you’ll know what to do with. Same
targeting, same graphics, decent story and an added (lackluster) multiplayer gives Bioshock 2 another
greasy feeling of being had for the 60 bills you just paid for it.
7. Red Dead Redemption
This game is worth every penny and second spent on it. With a totally new game (game- play wise)
from the first two (both also done by rock star), horse-riding drive-bys have been given a spot in
gaming history. With a feel of Grand Theft Auto and the grittiness of any Clint Eastwood, spaghetti
western you have seen, you will be itching to get home and ride into the sunset of the old west.
Especially in multiplayer mode, where you get to roam the map of the single player game, but get to
shoot and loot whatever you can find.
8. Bayonetta
With visually stunning combat and graphics, and massive hit combos a solid storyline and a beautiful
half-naked gun toting badass witch (yup, gun toting witch) this game begs for more action and allows
your mind to create ways to kill things in ways you did not know you could.
9. Dead Rising 2
You are motocross demon Chuck Greene; you are just barely ahead of the military reaching out to
quarantine the surrounding areas of the locale in the first Dead Rising. You find inventive ways to kill
masses and masses of zombies, you find people (survivors; good, psychopaths; bad) intermittently
throughout the game (just like the first one). This time you can combine weapons to create a more
powerful and better experience gaining killing machines. Other than that, it is Dead Rising.
10. Alan Wake
As the beginning of something much bigger, Alan Wake gives you that creepy feeling that something is
out there in the dark, but you are not sure you actually want to see what it is. The gameplay falls under
puzzle/mystery, since you are alone in an idyllic Bright Falls, realizing you are living through the
psychological horror of a latest book you do not remember writing while being forced to hunt down
your missing wife. Merging Resident Evil with the sandbox feel similar to Grand Theft Auto, and
giving you light as a weapon (your flashlight is your primary weapon, since it hurts the shadowy
demons that haunt you around every corner) you will definitely walk a little faster down the dark hall to
the bathroom after playing this game.
