What do you mean? Most people here are saying this year was great for gamers.I agree with them. There've been lots of great games, regardless of what they happened to score here. Anybody who thinks the year has been disappointing is a tad too hung up on the metagame.[QUOTE="shinrabanshou"]

Anybody who thinks the year has been disappointing is a tad too hung up on the metagame.Oh yeah, exactly what I was saying. People get too caught up on scores, and unfortuantly that even affects if they'll play it.[QUOTE="randomguy15"]

Had a look through the GS review scores for the year, interesting reading.
360) AAA: 10 AA: 26 A: 27
PS3) AAA: 8 AA: 26 A: 22
PC) AAA: 4 AA: 28 A: 17
Wii) AAAA: 1 AAA: 0 AA: 13 A:15
So actually a pretty good year for games, unless you only own a Wii of course in which case every year is a bad year so it's not like sheep will be disappointed.
I think the game is out on the PS3 in Japan,I don´t know if they´ll ever bring that version to Europe/US though.[QUOTE="Arach666"]
[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]
Hasn't that been confirmed as coming to PS3? I have been wanting to get my hands on that bugger.

That would be nice,although I don´t really think they will.Wow that is a lot of quality games. Too bad I couldn't afford half of them. That damn edumacation of mine :(Had a look through the GS review scores for the year, interesting reading.

That would be nice,although I don´t really think they will. Worth getting an Xbox for! :)2010 was great! A lot of great games like Halo: Reach, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Dantes Inferno, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep,...
Plus: Ghost of Sparta and GT5 still coming up!
This year being "A bad year for gaming" solely depends on what consoles/systems you have. As for me, 2010 have been a tremendous year for me.
Here's all the games that i have bought/played in 2010 and enjoyed:
BF: BC2
MAG
ModNation Racers
GOW3
Red Dead Redemption this was a surprise to me since i never played Red Dead Revolver)
Tasonoko vs Capcom
SSF4
SMG2
Blur
Heavy Rain
Castlevania: Los (Gamefly)
Metriod: Other M (Gamefly)
Here's the games that i haven't played, but want to get around to it:
Alan Wake
ME2 (I know that i have to play ME 1st)
Splintercell: Comviction
Vanquish
Enslaved
Kirby Epic Yarn
Split Second (it was either this or Blur, and i chose Blur)
Here's the games that i plan on getting in 2010 when they're released:
Cod: Black Ops
NFS: Hot Pursuit 2
GT5
So as you can see, 2010 have continuously been a great year for me, with more on the way, and 2011 looks to break my savings/checking account.
Let's see....
I have...
All 2010 games (and not including Downloadable games).
Haven't played Castlevania or Red Dead yet but So far ever game I've played that game out on the Year 2010 I've been pleased with.
If anyone has played Super Meat Boy then they know with that game alone 2010 has been a stellar year.
Just this Year alone we have Bayonetta, Heavy Rain, GoW 3, Starcraft 2, Civ 5, Alan Wake, SMG2, Halo: Reach, Cataclysm, Vanquish, Amnesia, Rock Band 3, Super Meatboy, Limbo, Red Dead Redemption, BC2, ME2, Epic Yarn, Other M. Hopefully we'll have GT5 by end of the year but I won't hold my breath.
Probably a lot more games but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
I'd say it's been a pretty damn good year for gaming. Probably one of the best ever honestly.
I'm glad almost everyone in this thread has enjoyed this year overall, I know I thought it was great. Too bad the holiday lineup is lacking.
I don't really agree with that personally... but it all boils down to personal opinion. I dont own a Wii so that cancels out a large number of games, but the only game i bought the first 6 months of the year was mass effect 2 and BF:BC2 (granted i would have bought Bayonetta if I wanted to spend more money, but ME2 was takinga lot of my time). I have since july bought a number of XBLA games (limbo and Meat boy that I can remember), Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Halo: Reach, have fable 3 arriving tomorrow, will be picking up black ops. Vanquish and Bayonetta are going on my black friday/cyber monday amazon browsing however... but yeah I have since bought more in july to now than the entire first half of the year.This year was front loaded. There were a ton of great games early in the year, but the latter half has been pretty mediocre. Fortunately, there are still a lot of games from the previous years that I never played.

For the people who think that 2010 was disappointing, I'm sorry but you're obviously not very serious about gaming and SMG2, Reach, SC2, and GOW3 all came here to say that they would all appreciate it if you just stopped trying.
This year was awesome.
There were so many good games I was able to play this year.
If you look at GS list of games that came out this year there are tons of AAA and AA games that came out for all systems.
God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII came along with some other great games. It wasn't disappointing. It's just not the best year in gaming ever. majadamus
Yes, and also Halo:Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released soon. So no this year is not bad in my eyes.
The only thing I found disappointing about 2010 was Bioshock 2. Man how I wanted that game to be as good as the first. I never had a high expectation for FF13, and so far everything else I have played has been really good.
I've probably pre-ordered more games this year than any other I can remember so I'd say 2010 has been good so far. Of course I don't let someone's scoring a game .5 under the hype effect my decision to purchase it either.
