Fairly Balanced.

I only agree with these 4 in the top 10, though i dotn agree with there placements ^^

thats a crappy top 10.... Only a few games that deserve to be in the top 10

This is a list made by a PC gamer it's obvious lol

Mass Effect 2 is very low and there's no Reach or God of War III or Heavy Rain or any handheld games actually.

I agree it's fairly balanced. But personally I'm missing Alan Wake and Mount & Blade Warband on it. And Bad Company 2, Two Worlds II, Lionheart, Amnesia, Heavy Rain, Castlevania and GT5.

On second thought, I don't agree with the list very much.

No media lists handheld games in their top lists of games. Handhelds are the most successful and at the same time the worst treated gaming decives this gen.

OT: Óne of the best 2010 top lists I've seen so far.

But that's because they don't have the same audience and they don't aim at the same market. Consoles are mostly aimed at hardcore gamers (although the Wii is kind of different) while handhelds are mostly for the casuals who either play on the go or every now and then. The media is most of the times hardcore gamers so it's not really surprising to see such a list.

That's why I think it's obsolete to compare sales of handhelds vs. sales of consoles whether we're talking about hardwares or softwares.

not exactly the best list, i would have expected mass effect 2 to be higher but its nice to see minecraft made it onto the list

Bah, Bayonetta should not be that high.

Minecraft should be number 1 and starcraft 2 should be number 2. DKCR should replace Galaxy 2.

I liked Fallout NV better then Mass Effect 2.

Enjoyed Red dead redemption more then Fallout NV. (damn crashes)

But found Mass Effect 2 better then Red dead redemption...

Guess I'll just go with Heavy rain as goty.
