Best Video Strategy Games For 2010

Call of Duty: Black Ops

To put it simply, Call Of Duty: Black Ops is superb. The experience of playing the game, thanks to the modified World At War engine, is comparable to the best in what the franchise has had to offer up until now.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is even more varied, challenging, and fun than its superb predecessor, making it the new standard for platformers. Every aspect of this game is absolutely bursting with joy. The vibrant artistic design immediately welcomes you into this colorful world, and the catchy soundtrack deftly mixes classic tunes with new compositions to provide the perfect backdrop for your goomba-stomping, star-snatching fun.

Halo: Reach

The Halo series has maintained an air of invincibility since its debut with Combat Evolved. At times seemingly immune to criticism, almost untouchable, with Halo: Reach the Rome ploughs can finally move in. Reach marks the end of Bungie’s involvement with the series, as they move onto new pastures with Activision. At first what may have seemed a bombshell is quite possibly a beneficial move for the developer and Microsoft after experiencing Reach.

Red Dead Redemption

It’s taken six long years for Rockstar San Diego to deliver the follow-up to Red Dead Revolver, a game that began life as a Capcom title and eventually materialised as a somewhat awkward fit for the publisher better known as the name behind GTA.

FIFA Soccer 11

After a steady rise in quality over the last few years, FIFA 10 added yet more welcome new features and game modes while refining the core gameplay. It’s a tough act to follow for FIFA 11, but thanks to more realistic gameplay, new game modes, and more features, this is the best and most comprehensive FIFA game yet.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

Live and breathe as Ezio, a legendary Master Assassin, in his enduring struggle against the powerful Templar Order. He must journey into Italy’s greatest city, Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit

You see, Criterion understands what makes the series tick: exotic cars and great police chases. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit will have plenty of both. Two full career modes will allow you to race either as an illegal racer or a cop

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

A superb single-player story mode and online support for up to 16 players make this the best Grand Theft Auto game yet. Stepping off a boat in the shoes of illegal immigrant Niko Bellic as he arrives in Liberty City at the start of Grand Theft Auto IV.

Mass Effect 2

In fact, Mass Effect 2 is such a tremendous game that you’ll still be thinking “wow this is great!” when you’ve accidentally popped out from cover in the middle of a gunfight for the fifth time and have been left staring at the reload screen.

Yes, it’s been 12 long years since Starcraft first emerged, surely marking the longest ever period for a sequel to arrive in the history of video games

God of War III

This time around, God of War III follows in the tow of another PS3 exclusive that’s demonstrated genre-defining levels of graphical splendour and cinematic flair that set a new benchmark for current-gen machines, and has encouraged the gaming community to reassess what’s possible on their home consoles.

Bioshock

From the moment BioShock began, I knew I was in for something special. Its opening sequence, placing the player in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by the fiery debris of a sinking plane, is one of the most dramatic prologues I’ve ever seen in a videogame.
