Games of the year, my foot.
Here's the problem: the top ten list contains... a shooter. A shooter. A shooter. A shooter. A racing game. An action game. A shooter. A shooter. A Cold-War-themed war strategy game. Oh, wait, there's also a music game and a platformer.
Sure, some of these are great games. But we're talking two games with possible mass appeal (music game and platformer). The rest are niche games for a niche market -- the shooter demographic -- mostly very young guys looking to get their crosshairs on. Nothing wrong with that, shooters can be great fun, but that's not the only kind of gaming experience out there.
