Top 10 List | Top Ten Lists

2010 saw the release of some great games, some were action, some were racing and some were of tactics. There are more gaming geeks in this world than there are Chinese in this world. Gaming can be addictive, but we want you to get addicted to the best. We list out the top ten best games that were released in the year 2010.

1. Call Of Duty: Black Ops

Call of Duty have always been a favorite among the game geeks since the first series. They were voted the best action/shooting game multiple times throughout their franchise.

The Call of Duty black Ops takes on the legacy superbly with awesome graphics, gameplay and story. The campaign is exciting and varied and the multiplayer mode is just too exciting. A Zombie series have been included in this game.

The Game is easily the best of 2010! The only problem of the game is that it gets over very quickly.

2. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

The Need For Speed Hot Pursuit I and II have been very successful and the recent NFS games proved to be not so successful. Electronic Arts came up with the all new NFS Hot Pursuit III and let me tell you that ITS AWESOME.

NFS: Hot Pursuit III is just pure over the edge adrenalin pumping racing entertainment. With awesome tracks and even more awesome cars, this game could not be ignored. The multiplayer mode is the most impressive one with an 8 player capability.

The NFS HP3 is undoubtedly the best racing game of 2010

3. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – Vietnam

Definitely one of the best games of 2010. The predecessor was one of the best multiplayer shooting games ever to be made, rivaling neck on with Call of Duty, Medal Of Honor and Counter Strike. With its realistic graphics and war like gameplay experience, this game is in my opinion one of the best FPS game.

The game comes with the best maps and awesome atmosphere. Weapons are impressive and so are the vehicles. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is considered to be among the best multiplayer games ever.

4. Blur

If you liked the movie “death race”, then i’m sure that you will love this game. Blur is a new game that has a high level graphics and a difficult game to play, which makes it challenging. Its like Need For Speed, but with weapons. Yea, weapons! This game is not about speed only. You need to sway away from your opponents weapons and shoot your rivals to get to the top.

Driving is a bliss as it is smooth and responsive. Blur is most enjoyed in the multiplayer mode as the single player mode kind of gets pissing off when you get blown off in the last minute and you don’t have anyone around you to swear at.

5. Dead Rising 2

Its always nice to kill zombies. Left 4 Dead series is a great example of how fun killing zombies can be! The sequel to the run away hit Xbox game Dead Rising is an addictive adventure game. The combats are bloody and awesome. The weapon combinations are fun to use. The only problem is that the game takes a lot of time in loading.

Dead Rising 2 may not have the best graphics and the best strategies in story, but it is one addictive game that could make you sit in front of your Pc the whole day.

In the case of Rugby, the game is a blend of American football’s contact, soccer’s running and the transition of basketball. It is a game consisting of 15 players each and played between two teams on a rectangular field, with the aim of running across the opponent’s goal line with an oval ball or kicking it through the top portion of the goal posts.

3. Football Field vs Rugby Field

American football is a game played on a rectangular field measuring 120 yards in length and 49 meters wide. A goal line can be seen near each end of the field which is 100 yards apart. The size is almost similar to a rugby league field which is 120 meters long and about half that in width. Every ten meters there is a line across the field.
