January
Halo 3 [ 1/07/2010 ]
(Yup, I really hadn’t played it yet. Great weapons but annoying allies & enemies.)
VVVVVV [ 1/11/2010 ] (Try It!)
(Ridiculously difficult platforming with some interesting gameplay mechanics. Fun!)
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter [ 1/28/2010 ]
(Seriously difficult. Seriously frustrating. Seriously too repetitive. Fun though.)
February
Depict1 [ 2/16/2010 ] (Play It!)
(A short, interesting and funny platformer with a lot of parallels to Portal.)
Bayonetta [ 2/20/2010 ]
(Fucking ridiculous. Well played, SEGA. Gets repetitive after a while though.)
Mass Effect 2 [ 2/25/2010 ]
(Superbly done; but not without technical issues. I must have Mass Effect 3!)
March
Eufloria [ 3/05/2010 ]
(Great to look at & fun to play but a few control annoyances & uneven difficulty.)
Chains [ 3/07/2010 ]
(I would have liked more variety, but what was there was enjoyable.)
I’m Not Alone [ 3/14/2010 ]
(I bought this expecting the worst and my expectations were exceeded! So bad.)
Peggle Nights [ 3/15/2010 ]
(Well, it’s totally Peggle and Peggle is good, so this is good, as it’s more Peggle.)
Metro 2033 [ 3/26/2010 ]
(Beautiful graphics and tense gameplay. It’s like COD4 meets S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)
April
Gridrunner Revolution [ 4/10/2010 ]
(God damn you, Jeff Minter.)
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom [ 4/23/2010 ]
(Essentially World 5 of Braid expanded into a full game and with expert execution!)
Zombie Driver [ 4/30/2010 ]
(Not much variety, but a fun diversion while it lasts; which is only 3 hours.)
May
Beat Hazard [ 5/31/2010 ]
(Needs more variety. Too much of a grind to get to “Elite” ranking.)
June
Dark Sector [ 6/4/2010 ]
(Filler-city. 60% repetitive filler. The fun bits were definitely fun though.)
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood [ 6/25/2010 ]
(A fantastic story, but more repetitive and shooter-focused than the original.)
July
Resident Evil 5 [ 7/26/2010 ]
(It’s like they turned RE into a Michael Bay movie. Still fun though.)
Yosumin! [ 7/29/2010 ]
(A color matching puzzle game. Could have used more variety.)
August
Factum Solus: Episode 1 (Portal Mod) [ 8/19/2010 ]
(Pretty good. Some great ideas, but a lot of infuriating puzzles.)
September
Alien Swarm [ 9/8/2010 ]
(Even on normal, this was very difficult in the later stages. Fun though.)
Amnesia: The Dark Descent [ 9/15/2010 ]
(Frictional does it again. Fantastic, terrifying horror. A few confusing areas.)
October
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World [ 10/2/2010 ]
(Great artwork and tons of amusing references. Tedious and repetitive though.)
November
Angry Birds [11/10/2010]
(Thoroughly enjoyed, I just wish it were on PC for better controls.)
Octodad [11/12/2010]
(Incredibly short, yet also very amusing and worth a once-through.)
December
Super Meat Boy [12/6/2010]
(Frustrating. Infuriating. Ridiculous. Also, funny and enjoyable! How ‘bout that.)
