Top Five Games You Probably Missed in 2010

As we progress further and further into this generation of gaming, the number of quality titles released each given year grows. All though more great games is always a good thing, there will undoubtedly be some that fall by the wayside, as gamers focus more on the big name titles. PlayStation LifeStyle has compiled a top five list of PS3 games that fared well critically, but lacked the overall selling power of the bigger titles.

I have to admit, I did miss those games. Well, not Castlevania, but I didn't finish it. It was too dull and repetitive.

I guess what I am saying is... I missed these games for a reason.

This all boils down to too many good games being released. Gamers just don't have the disposable income needed to keep up with all the good games, so instead they only buy great games. Good just isn't good enough for most anymore.

Unless a game is part of an established franchise it really has to be something very special to be noticed

Agreed, but for me a lot of these games were some of my favorite, and unlike most gamers I was able to play 40 different games this year, but that is the exception.

With there being so many games, sometimes good games get passed over by the ones that have a bigger budget. So maybe in the next year when your looking through the bargain bin, you will come across one of these and now you know it is worth a play.

I have also played over 40 different games this year. Probably closer to 60 actually.

Out of those I played...

Enslaved, which sucked, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Castlevania, which was decent. It was fun for the first 20 hours and then it became a chore just to finish it.

3D Dot Game Heroes, which was awesome, I had a blast with it and I was definitely surprised at just how fun it was. It really didn't get the recognition it deserves.

The only one I have played is 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Split Second is pretty good, for it's multi-player.. But only pick it up when you see it in the bargain bin later next year. It's not worth full price imo

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is pretty good as well, it has no multi-player but it does have quite a lengthy single-player campaign. Again, Pick that up later next year also as it will have no doubt been dropped in price immensely.

We probably missed them for a reason...

[come_at_me_bro]

Played all of these except for Transformers. Personally wasn't much of a fan of Split/Second, the rubber band AI was so frustrating sometimes. Bought 3D Dot Game Heroes on release but haven't played it much, need to give it the time it deserves soon.

i didnt miss nothing because i got my god of war for ps3 and psp, metal gear peace walker, kingdoma hearts, y's seven, mod nation racers, persona 3. that is all i need just exclusives because sony always dominates even in japan.

Played thru enslaved and castlevania twice, both were exceptional, even though by some peoples standards "short"....imo they were the perfect length, any longer and their respective stories would have beeen too long...... also, castlevania has one of THE all_time greatest endings for a video game!

Currently playing thru transformers, picked it up for like $10 from gamefly... its OK, so far.......P

[Focker420]

Greatest endings of all time?? I found it to be lackluster and very disappointing. But thats just me.

[AKS]

Bought the top 3. I also buy all of Platinum Games'...games.

[mcstorm]

Good list but think if we were all to make a list out of 5 games missed this year not many of us would have all the same games on the list. Split/second and transformers were 2 games I got and think they deserve better sales than they got but I think that can be said for alot of games this year on all 3 consoles. To me of a game is not a big name like cod halo unchanged ect it dose not sell as well as it should. Gameing had become very branded over the last few gens we need more new ips and for more people to buy different games rather than number 63 update of cod ect

[wolfehound22]

Oh very true, and this was just my list of games I really enjoyed this year, but I did not think got the recognition it deserved. But I do agree everyone's list would be different.

[Logan_2]

i finished 3 of the 5 and im currently playing the other 2. these are must play titles

[Spenok]

Lol i have played all 5 of these. All great titles if you ask me too.
