Time Tabs Alan Wake As Best Game Of The Year
Now, we're not saying that the good people over at Time Magazine don't know what they're doing, but we're a frankly a little surprised that the magazine has chosen Alan Wake as the best game of 2010.
Using the high-falutin' word "metaphor" when talking about the video game, the magazine also perhaps unintentionally throws a little faint praise on the game by calling it a "fun experiment." Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the list, it's at least cool to see Time's Top 10 populated by good games overall.
Be on the look out for our own best games of 2010 in the upcoming issue of Game Informer, and maybe Time can throw up its own online story picking apart our choices.
The full list:
1. Alan Wake
2. Angry Birds
3. Red Dead Redemption
4. Halo: Reach
5. Super Mario Galaxy 2
6. Limbo
7. Super Meat Boy
8. Super Street Fighter IV
9. StarCraft II
10. Mass Effect 2
