The second half of this countdown is surprising.
Ready for the Top 10? Here we go!
10. Metroid: Other M
Review
Metroid returns to our list for a
second outing. This time, Zach Miller goes through the details of
Samus's adventure, letting us know how each aspect affects the overall
game. On balance, he says that if you're willing to sit through the main
game, the content that follows is absolutely worth
it.
"Samus is whiny
and insecure." --Zach
Miller9. 3DS Mario Games in
Motion
We recorded a couple of videos at E3 of Paper
Mario 3DS and Mario Kart 3DS. In addition we managed to record audio
samples from each of these titles, as well as for Pilotwings 3DS. Jared
Rosenberg edited the clips he recorded at the show into one video and
divided up the sound files for your listening pleasure.

Workout
Pedro Hernandez surprises us all with his
praise and endorsement of Gold's Gym Cardio Workout, a Balance Board
compatible game that offers more than Wii Fit, whilst being easier to
learn and less demanding in difficulty of exercises. Readers surprise us
by reading this review more often than Other M.
Jump up, up, and
away, but not on the Balance
Board7.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Review
The big news here is not that Galaxy 2 is a
really great experience that refines the mechanics whilst offering brand
new experiences, sharp graphics, throwback levels for everyone to love,
and lots and lots of stars to find. It is that James Jones played a
game that was not an RPG for more than 20 hours in a row.
"Your spaceship
has an uncanny resemblance to your
face"6.
GoldenEye 007
Review
GoldenEye was always about the multiplayer
experience, apart from during the N64 title's development, where it was a
complete afterthought. Multiplayer is king once again in both the
nostalgic local, split-screen mode and the brand new online
experience.
Four-player
split screen shooter glory is with us once
more5.
Just Dance Review
While
it's unsurprising that a million-seller would fare well in this list,
it's equally surprising that it places more highly than fan favourites
DKCR, Kirby, Galaxy 2, and GoldenEye in the popularity stakes to become
the second most-read review of 2010 on Nintendo World Report. Pedro
Hernandez tests the philosophy of any movement being better than none
when it comes to dance.
Who Let the Pedro
Out4.
Racquet Sports Review
I can
only imagine that people were looking for reviews containing the words
"Wii" and "Sports". While Racquet Sports offers a number of sporting
activities, some with MotionPlus controls, they are poorly executed, as
are the standard Remote controls. Neal Ronaghan tells it as it is, "If
you love everything related to a racquet, pick this game up, but be
warned, it kind of sucks."

Resort3. New 5th Generation Pokemon
Revealed
Pokemon Black & White has already
been more successful than any Pokemon title ever in Japan, so when it
finally reaches Western shores in 2011 there will be much excitement and
celebration. Matt Blundon reports on CoroCoro magazine's early reveal
of the very first confirmed Pokemon for the game, months before the
Japanese release.

Way
The most read article of 2010, by a clear margin,
was... THQ's uDraw GameTablet announcement. Seriously, guys? This is
what was most popular this year? I'm as confused as you are.
www.udrawworldreport.com it is, then.
uDraw GameTablet
is number
one!That's it
for 2010, we go into 2011 stronger than ever. We'll be sure to bring you
lots more coverage on your favourite topics such as Balance Board
add-ons (??) and uDraw (???). Thanks for reading, and we look forward to
your continuing support in the future. Now go off and read this feature
over and over again so it can ironically feature in next year's
countdown.
