Top 5 Xbox Games of 2010 So Far

This year has been quite the year for games so a few of us at the Xbox team figured we’d count off our top 5 games we played on the Xbox 360 this year so far. Keep in mind, this list is not based to exclusives only.

5. Bioshock 2- Many people, including myself, were skeptical going into Bioshock 2, it had a new developer and the first game felt as if it did not really need a sequel. It did take a while to get going, but once it did, it was a blast. The story was of course nowhere near as spectacular and immersive as its processors but it was enough to keep us chugging along in this beautiful and fun game.

Two Editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Likely

Buy.com might have accidently released some information a little too early, according to IGN.

Yesterday, Black Ops was listed under two packages: the Hardened Edition ($79.99), and the Prestige Edition ($149.99). Details of the bundles were not listed.

The Impossible Game Review

One would think a virtually unbeatable game would be overwhelmingly frustrating, but The Impossible Game is quite the opposite. The concept is simple; you’re an orange square whose only objective is to jump over black squares, all the while avoiding spikes. The game progresses you under its own power, so all you have to do is press A to avoid the obstacles. Simple right? One would think so, but it wouldn’t be called “The Impossible Game” if it wasn’t easier said than done.

More Dragon Age DLC Incoming

People of Ferelden rejoice! BioWare has announced the latest DLC coming for Dragon Age: Origins. The new adventure titled “Golems of Amgarrak”, has your Grey Warden descend deep underground in order to uncover the fate of a dwarven expedition.

This announcement quickly follows the release of the “Leiliana’s Song” DLC which came out only a few weeks ago, showing BioWare’s commitment to short and fast episodic content.

Features include:

Halo: Reach Announcement Arrives
