The tags sort of gave it away a bit, given that all of the Top 5 were sitting right above the video.

Tags: The Surprise-Killer.

Also, fail in the description. "shares his favorite games of 2010"

Pretty good list. I wonder, will any one else make a list of favorites over 2009 games?

A fine selection you have there.

And might i add that you are not the only one who enjoyed Godfather II.

This is a solid list. I can get behind this. Especially Modern Warfare 2, which, despite how I feel that the story is pretty silly and very rough around the edges, delivers a great single player playthrough even if it is pretty short.

I like your list.

Off topic, a lot of the bad press MW2 gets I think is based partly on how it lacks dedicated servers, making it a pain to play multiplayer on a PC. And we PC gamers can get pretty loud if we don't like something..

I may change the list around later on when I get round to playing some of the games released this year, but till then, your list is something I'd go with.

Seems good. I didn't like Godfather 2 much, though. Better than the first, though.

Nice list, it isn't just a rehash of topscoring games from 2009 like some websites do.

Your list was ok, but not great.
Dragon Age: Origins
Wolfenstein Borderlands
Modern Warfare 2 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Brutal Legend
Batman: Arkham Asylum Assassin's Creed 2
The Godfather II
Now, that's a great list.
I think you're kind of missing the point of doing a "favorites" list, rather than a "best of."

I loved brutal legend up until the point that the strategy part kicked in every half an hour, but dragon age as best game of the year? Yes yes yes just an awesome game

Yes, you do.. As a matter of fact, go tell Russ that The Escapist Community is going to lynch you if you don't. So as a matter of job security you should stay home (and get paid) to play it.

(Just kidding about that Lynching thing.. don't hit me with a banhammer..)
