GRAND THEFT AUTO: EPISODES FROM LIBERTY CITY (9/10)- This compilation of the two DLC packs for Grand Theft Auto 4 (10/10) brought together the excellent Lost And Damned (8/10) and Ballad Of Gay Tony (9/10), the former providing an exciting club-based romp through the city via motorbike and providing a good 10 hours entertainment, and the latter adding the fun zest San Andreas was known for and that Niko's storyline was missing through new mechanics such as golf and hijacking trains.
MASS EFFECT 2 (10/10)- Pretty much the equivalent to The Dark Knight as a sequel, Mass Effect 2 expanded on the original (9/10) in every way, showcasing finer-tuned graphics, emotional instrumentals and a wealth of possibilities carrying through from Mass Effect and of which would effect ME3. A truly special 360 exclusive that will find its way to PC and PS3 in January 2011!
RED DEAD REDEMPTION (9.5/10)- Glitches and an at times messed up plot prevented this from achieving the full 10, but none-the-less Red Dead's voice cast, powerful twists and true-to-history Western setting provided the most memorable free-roaming game since Grand Theft Auto IV, a title worthy of the Rockstar name.
SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 (10/10)- Simply amazing, the sequel to Galaxy was near-perfect in every way, providing stunning graphics, a heartwarming soundtrack and not least some fine imagination to boot. If this isn't a contender for Game Of The Year, I don't know what is.
HALO: REACH (10/10)- Nearly missed out on the 10 due to its unoriginality at times and graphics which no longer look so neat, but the amazing story and huge replay value made this THE complete FPS package for all gamers to own on 360.
Unoriginality in reach??? Where?
