I haven't found much time to play new games this year it seems, I own all but two from their list, plus a couple of other games released this year, but have played few of them more than a handful of hours.

My chart, based on approximate hours is as follows:

1. Football Manager 2011 - 55
2. Mass Effect 2 - 54
3. Red Dead Redemption - ~40
4. Dragon Age Awakenings/DLC - ~30
5. Bioshock 2 - 21
6. Mafia 2 - 19
7. Guild 2: Renaissance - 16
8. Gran Turismo 5 - ~15
9. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - 13
10. F1 2010 - ~10

That top 10 isn't bad actually, usually they're tripe. Here's mine:

1. BFBC2
2. World of Tanks
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Starcraft II
5. Civilization V


Erm, that seems to be about all I can stretch to. Minecraft would sit at number 1, but technically Alpha started in 2009 I think.

If I'd done a list of what I thought were the best games, Civ 5 would have been right up there, but I figured my stats don't lie, so stuck with them.

I have a bunch of games, all around the 7-hours-played mark and which would look good in a top 10, but it's hard to justify saying they're great when I haven't proved it by actually playing them. I wanted to pull this out of the News forum so I can remind myself of this disparity when it comes to voting on my Game of Year. Well over half my list I've criticised here as either having terrible bugs, being poor value for money or bringing nothing particularly new - yet I've ignored my own advice and played them more than anything else.

As a list of good games from 2010, that's actually a pretty accurate list.

Indeed. Nice to see the readers are more in touch than the mags
