The 10 Most Talked-About Games of 2010

For reasons both good and bad, here are the ten games that started the most conversations or got the most press in 2010. These were the video games that shaped the year, and won’t soon be forgotten (even though some of them might want to be). In (more or less) chronological order, here we go… [Side note: It feels odd not to include a game from either Kinect or PlayStation Move on this list — both motion controllers garnered probably more attention than anything else in gaming this year — but this is a list of games, not hardware.

Blizzard removes LAN Multiplayer on Starcraft II

Without a doubt, Blizzard’s upcoming sequel Starcraft II is one of the most anticipated games in recent memory.
