CNN's Top 10 For 2010: Heavy Rain Nabs Top Spot

While nobody in the industry is going to call CNN a top source for hardcore gamers, it's undeniable that a great many people will see their Top 10 list.

Therefore, it's kinda cool that Quantic Dream's masterpiece,Heavy Rain, sits at #1 in the 10 Best Video Games of 2010 lineup. The highly accomplished and singular interactive drama impressed a great many people...especially those with attention spans longer than that of a gnat. It's also interesting to note that Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption - a game we certainly appreciate - came in at #2 and God of War III made an appearance at #8. It isn't a bad list, in truth, as many of the year's best are found there, although you can bet many will find the inclusion of Call of Duty: Black Opsto be your default mainstream selection that doesn't necessarily take reviews and analysis into account. Also, one other thing: FIFA Soccer 11 is #7 and although that may seem strange to a lot of you, from what Arnold tells me, it's deserving of that slot. For consumers who aren't too checked out on the best of the best, it's a fair assembly of quality.

We think Gran Turismo 5 should be on there but most simply aren't qualified to judge that game in the first place, and there's not enough love going 'round for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or Vanquish, but that's okay. Our awards are coming soon...

I can hardly disagree with their list. It's a good one actually. There's a bit of everything. Awesome first choice.

GOW 3 was better imo

They're correct with Bad Company 2... In all the 2010 reviews that I've seen, I haven't even seen Bad Company 2 as runner up, or even nominated =

can someone tell me how many posts i need before i can make a thread?

You need 100 posts to make a thread.

remember when ppl were saying Heavy Rain wouldnt even make 1 million sales? Looks like the LTD will be DOUBLE that eventually.

it appears I have 100 posts and still dont see the Make New Thread option. What is going on?

I want to make a thread .

Oh and congrats Heavy Rain (Happy Face).

Although the Heavy Rain was a good game I wouldn't say it was 2010 best. Final fantasy 13, bayonetta, mass effect 2, and star ocean the last hope were all better than it. But all this is just opinion.
