After great debate, Heavy Rain takes the crown as a game that means more to the culture than it may to the gamers that played it.

Even with the ability to snipe someone from across the map with a shotgun, Bad Company 2 functions both as a stress reliever and an intense moment-to-moment exercise in what makes the standard FPS worth buying in to.
The interesting thing I've noticed in my multiplayer habits is that there is no room for being exceptional at a wide variety of these types of games. Out of the dozens of multiplayer games that came out for PS3 and PC this year I only had time to really get into the games listed below and especially this years winner: Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Because its been a while since a book captured both child-like curiosity and mature terror.
Truth time. I've been meaning to review several graphic novels and trades since The Brog's inception. Let this year-end award to Joe Hill's Locke & Key: Crown Of Shadows be a step in a brighter direction for trades and collection coverage on this site. The funny thing about this year's collection of comics I read was that all left varying magnitudes of impressions. However, the third book in the Locke & Key series really, took me. It's rare that I'm taken by anything.
Asterios Polyp was an adventure against what conventions I think of as far as form and function of comics go. The sixth book of Walking Dead is great, but it feels as if I'm reading the series almost out of habit as opposed to deeply engrossing entertainment. Brubaker's Criminal and William's Batwoman struck me as something that will make long-term impressions, but nothing immediately gasp-worthy. Hill's Crown of Shadows is my least liked of the three books in the series. It left me frustrated, I've been wanting the series to move faster than it has been. Gone are the horror-filled, bloody massacres found in the first book. The child-like horror found in book two seemed to be venturing into young-adult angst. Yet, the book punctuates, with every page, "You need to keep reading."
Honorable Mention: Walking Dead Book 6, Criminal: The Sinners, Asterios Polyp, Batwoman: Elegy

I'd write a formal review, but I can't stop playing this game.
Long ago on a Sega Genesis far, far away, my mom routinely mopped the floor with me whenever we played Tengen's Ms. Pac Man. An unflinchingly brutal game that my mom was incredibly stellar at. I would have been better off holding the controller upside-down. Finally I have something I can show her up on. In the final weeks of 2010, Namco Generations re-reinvented their Xbox 360 downloadible hit. Not since Critter Crunch have I let such a small and polished game occupy so much of my time. [As of the typing of this, I am ranked 248th out of 48,000 PSN users on the highly competitive Championship II level].
What is most vexing about Pac Man Championship Edition: DX is that its a modern game. There are tense bullet-time moments when the player is close to death. Possibly an unintentional wink to this age of kill streaks and instant killification [its a word I just made it up], an added layer of creating a 'mambo-like' line is included amongst maneuvering past speedy ghosts before the glorious satisfaction one feels when they get to devour said techno-colored ghost queue. Not since Peggle Nights has there been a game that has shown me that, its okay for videogames to be videogames.

2010 will be known as the year The Brog went analog.

If only my reviews could be as aptly detailed as they are long and bloated. Enjoy his newest review [as of me posting this] and be sure to visit his site and compliment the oddities you discover.
