Runner up Number 3

Ratchet and Clank Future: Crack in Time

A Crack in Time continued the trend of fantastic exclusives for the PS3 this year and is a must have for both fans and newcomers alike. The action is great, the game looks and sounds great, the ending is fantastic, and the overall experience is more than enough to satisfy gamers through multiple playthroughs.

Runner up Number 2

Borderlands

Borderlands is more fun than most other games you will play this year. It is a must by for those looking for a fun co-op game and for those who love to shoot stuff, get loot and level up. If you’re on the border about Borderlands just go for it! What the game has to offer is more than worth your money, which is more than most games can say.

Runner up Number 1

FIFA 10

October would not be October without a EA Sport’s Fifa release and this has become a routine for some years now. In the recent years Fifa series has been revolutionized dramatically. All this started from the release of current generation consoles, and the Fifa franchise has continued to improve year on year and now with the 4th installation of Fifa on current consoles (excluding Euro 2008), we can safely say it is the ultimate football fan’s dream. Fifa 10 sets high standards to follow by the competitors from now on.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Nathan Drake was back again for another tresure hunting experience but instead of his family member, Sir Franchis Drake, he was after an artifact of the Marco Polo expeditions; while always getting shot and always trying to impress the ladies (*cough* Chloe and Elena). This is a lot like the great Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune with a few tweaks here and there but with the exploration of the city of Nepal, shattering ice caves, and of course the beautiful jungles. It has great gameplay and story line, but that is not all. The graphics of this game are by far the best I have seen on consoles. You travel from the amazing snow covered locations, to lush jungles with light shining through the trees and the rays hitting your body, to a city that is falling apart, and all the locations that the adventurer Nathan Drake will take you. Also with the graphics of the game, there are great animations such as when Drake is shot and stumbling through the snow just trying to get to that ledge to jump, almost falling off. Uncharted was an easy choice for us, since it sets a new benchmark in video games.

Runner Up Number 3:

The Beatles: Rock Band

Following in the footsteps of Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2, The Beatles featured an impressive representation of visual and aural elements of the game. Also for the first time in the Rock Band franchise, three sequence harmonies were introduced. But the reason why it fails to be among the top in this list is its length. The game can be completed in a few hours. Any case The Beatles is a worthy addition to your collection.

Runner Up Number 2:

Dirt 2

Dirt 2 is prettier than original, has more varied tracks and a great multiplayer component. It has everything you need in a rally title, its a solid racing game with some really fun events and jaw dropping presentation. All in all Dirt 2 offers a great deal of value for its money and it easily ranks among all the top notch racing title arriving this year. A must buy for all racing fanatics.

Runner Up Number 1:

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

Ryu Hayabusa is back for another PS3 installment. As with the original Sigma in 2008, the PS3 version came loaded with enhanced graphics but less violence as compared to the 360 version. Featuring new plyable characters in Ayane, Momiji and Rachel, Sigma 2 is a blast for the fans and must be picked by every fan of the series provided you have a Playstation 3.

Winner:

Halo 3: ODST

Of all the things Bungie did right in ODST, the most important is the characters. Sure the Master Chief is a great guy, but players who appreciate the story will come to care about the squad and its struggles. This emotional connection makes the story as strong as it is and makes it the best story they have told. ODST is the pinnacle of story telling in a Halo game. All in all ODST is a game that no Halo fan should miss.
