While Keith is slaving away counting your votes for our top 50 games of the noughties article - posts will be coming up next week - there have been plenty of game of the year lists to keep everyone interested. The latest is the Top 10 games of the year from Time magazine. Unsurprisingly given the incessant hype Modern Warfare 2 is at number 1. Batman: Arkham Asylum gets a deserved runners up spot but then it starts going wrong. DJ Hero at number 3?? Borderlands at number 4?? Actually, Borderlands probably deserves its slot given the rather marvellous online action. The real issue for me is the placing for Uncharted 2. The stunning PS3 adventure barely scraps in at 10. This puts is below the massively overhyped New Super Mario Bros on Wii but more controversially Halo: ODST. Yes, I know lists are opinion but how can anyone rate ODST's solid but derivitive action above Uncharted 2's rollercoaster beauty? Was it purely to drive traffic to their site? Or did I miss something in ODST? I doubt it. Uncharted 2 is a classic, ODST a solid interim product. Anyway the full list is:
1. Modern Warfare 2
2. Batman: Arkham Asylum
3. DJ Hero
4. Borderlands
5. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
6. Geo-Defense Swarm
7. Scribblenauts
8. Halo: ODST
9. Assassin's Creed 2
10. Uncharted 2
What do you think then? Agree with the list? Think ODST should be above Assassin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2?
