So have any of you played a great console games this year you would like to recommend to others?

Games worth buying... UFC Undisputed 2010, and Gran Turismo 5. Both excellent games.

Games worth avoiding.... Call of Duty Black ops. Really disappointing game.
Certainly dont know why it's so popular?
 

Im still playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Super game.

I've lost touch a bit though, so this will be a good thread for me
 
I'll skip the obvious ones and mention a few boss games that you probably haven't played, from this year.


Blur - Racing game somewhere in between Mario Kart and Need For Speed, by Bizarre Creations; a Liverpool-based studio. It sold poorly, but was an awesome game. The online is by far the most fun I've ever had with any racer.

Enslaved - Masterful storytelling, via the medium of games, with mo-cap and voice over by Andy Serkis. Gorgeous game.

NIER - Not for everyone, but it's just a lot of fun, and has probably the most interesting and heartfelt story in a Japanese videogame... well, ever, for me. It's never boring either as the game shifts into a crazy amount of styles. It's mainly an action RPG, but then one minute it's a top down shooter, then a Harvest moon-esque farm sim, then there's the resident evil mansion bit... This is probably my nomination for the best game of the year that didn't sell very well.

Ilomilo - Just got this puzzle game the other day for the 360's xbox live arcade, and it's an amazing looking game, with some real mind-bending, innovative puzzles. Well worth the 800msp (£7ish). Do buy it if you can!




My favourite game of the year, which did sell well, was Mass Effect 2. And that's probably my game of the decade, too.
 
Got a pretty good feeling i'm getting Assassins creed brotherhood so hope it's worth playing like. Loved the last 2, thats why i've hinted so heavily and am 96% sure i'll get it.
 
Don't understand the hate Black Ops has been getting on here tbh, though apparently it does play a bit cack on the PS3 from what I've heard. Should be playing it on the Xbox 360/PC anyway..
 

Smithy's Games if the Year -


Mafia II - wasn't expecting much from this but found the most engrossing story I've had from a game in years. Weird ending though. Awesome downloadable content too.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit - a new comer to my games this year but a hell of a fun racer. If you like your Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Runs, as I do, then you cant go wrong here.

Cut The Rope - simple yet crazy addictive puzzle game for iPhone/iPod touch. It will annoy you and treat you at the same time.

FIFA 11 - just put this in to annoy Chico.

That'll do.
 
Black ops was dissapointing, linear beyond belief.
Avoid Kane and lynch too
Alien v predator ( I'll give my copy to anyone )
Battlefield 2, good game - not cod.

The single player was amazing, imo. Really blew me away.

The multiplayer is the usual cod fare. You'll know whether or not you'll like it beforehand. I didn't, and I knew I wouldn't.

1) You, at the time of posting this, should be downstairs drinking with the fam.
2) BLACK OPS IS &*$%!! :P

....Men spend too much time on games. Real men can limit themselves.
 
Oh yeah Aliens vs Predator was definitely the biggest disappointment of the year for me. Felt like a shitty, unfinished PC mod. Not 2010 standard at all. Probably not 2001 standard, even :-P
 
The disappointment for me was Mass Effect 2, by itself it appeared quite good but after finishing seemed to be about 10% of the game that the original Mass Effect itself was, and seemed a lot more linear to boot. Highlights probably Mount and Blade: Warband (really cheap, really violent medieval combat game available via Steam) and FM 2011.
