The famous U.S. weekly Time Magazine, known as the world Time, has published the ranking of those who, according to the editorial, are the 10 most important games of the year.

Top 10 Video Games

• Alan Wake
• Angry Birds
• Red Dead Redemption
• Halo: Reach
• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• Limbo
• Super Meat Boy
• Super Street Fighter IV
• Starcraft II
• Mass Effect 2

Lots of video-game covers have a bold M on their lower left corner, but none have felt as mature as Alan Wake does. Its unsettled titular character carries adult concerns — a stalled career, a troubled marriage — into a psychological thriller set in a town taken over by a shadowy occult force. Alan Wake's biggest triumph lies in turning metaphor into game play. Yes, you fight the possessed townspeople of Bright Falls with the typical pistols and shotguns, but only after shining light on them to burn the darkness off. Its mix of meta-awareness and Hitchcockian suspense make Alan Wake a unique and fun experiment and one of the best games of the year.
