The WiiWare service and virtual console continue to be a hidden treasure chest full of amazing games, and it is hard to deny just how much content is available on the system. Capcom and Monster Hunter Tri have really brought the core gaming audience back to the system. Titles like Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment, Tatsunoko vs. But in reality their exclusive lineup this year has actually been pretty outstanding. When it comes to Nintendo everyone loves to beat down the Wii. While the company may have focused on their motion-controlled future, I expect to see more announced core titles at this year’s Gamescom. Games like Perfect Dark, Toy Soldiers, Snoopy Flying Ace and Zeno Clash show the diversity, as well as the quality that the service has become known for. Microsoft’s biggest strength in 2010 has come from its Arcade service, which has seen a plethora of outstanding titles and only looks to continue. Mass Effect 2 remains one of the best of the year so far, and titles like Metro 2033, Alan Wake and Splinter Cell Conviction were definitely excellent experiences. The Xbox 360 may not have been as stellar when it comes to exclusives, but it did have some truly worthwhile titles. The only downside I can see for Sony right now is that most of the awesome titles they announced at E3 are not coming until 2011, the price of the console is still the highest and I am still yet to be sold on PlayStation Plus, but everything else is definitely smooth sailing. When you factor in that they are finally getting their online up to par with Xbox Live, you begin to see more and more gamers making PS3 their system of choice. Titles like Heavy Rain, MLB: The Show and God of War III are only an example of the system’s dominance in the exclusive category. As far as exclusives go Sony has by far been the king of the castle to date. This year has been especially good for all three console makers. So without further ado I bring you the best games of the (half) year. It is hard to imagine what the rest of the year will hold, but with this being such an amazing start we felt it would be a cool feature to pick out some of the biggest games so far in 2010, and even throw in some lists as everyone seems to love those. So far we have had more top-tier releases than most holiday seasons and the year is only half-way over. These are all statements that can be made about the state of gaming in the year 2010.
