Well, here is the list of the best games for Hardcore gamers from 2010. The list is not in any particular order. These are the games that gamers WANT to own and all would make excellent Holiday gifts.

#1 – Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood - I seriously did not think UBI Soft could top Assassin’s Creed 2, my favorite game of last year. Well kids, Ezio is back and better than ever. Everything that made Ezio cool, as a Master Assassin, is back to allow for more gameplay, and there’s more. You can also play as different character classes, in one of the most graphically detailed and stunningly beautiful virtual worlds to ever be designed. This time, Ezio is fighting as a part of the Brotherhood, as he leads a group against the evil order of the Templar. This battle will take Ezio into the heart of Italy, to Rome, as he vows to take down the Templars and save the guild of Assassins. This takes Assassin’s Creed gameplay to a whole new level, providing endless amounts of fun with brand new Multiplayer Modes where assassin’s compete to be the best. Of course, the Single Player Campaign is just as good, making this one of the hottest titles of the year.

#2 – Medal of Honor - It doesn’t get more realistic than this. In Medal of Honor you’ll step into the middle of combat. This is a reboot of the classic Playstation game of the same name, which takes players into the center of the current day conflict in Afghanistan. While the single player mode is decent, the graphics aren’t always flawless. However, the best part about this game is the Multiplayer. If you are a fan of shooters you can really get in on playing this game. There may have been controversy about getting to play the role of the “Taliban”, but whatever you call it, you still get the chance to play as an Opposing Force. In Single Player, you’ll play through the same campaign U.S. soldiers fought while in Afghanistan, while the multiplayer allows for gameplay as a Rifleman, Special Ops, or Sniper. Whatever mode of play you choose, FPS action encapsulates the whole of gameplay, making it worth the purchase for hardcore shooter fans.

#3 – Fallout: New Vegas - The place to be after nuclear fallout is Las Vegas, which was not directly hit by any nuclear attack. Four years proceeding the successful Fallout 3, players are taken into the wastelands of the post-apocalyptic Mojave Desert and nearby New Vegas. Traversing through parts of Nevada and California, the player is essentially in another part of the states, in the same world of the last title. There seems to be no major link between Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. The world is the same, but instead of being in the Capital Wasteland, you’ll traverse across the familiar landmarks of Las Vegas. This game is as wicked as its predecessors, with throwbacks to both Fallout 3 and Fallout 2, such as the New California Republic (NCR) from the later. There have been vast improvements in the gameplay of this title, with a massive land to explore, expanded quests, and obsessively entertaining encounters with a plethora of hostile enemies. While the graphics may be slightly off, this is a sequel worthy of purchase by fans of the Fallout series, and post-apocalyptic shooters.

#4 – Fable III - Okay, so this game isn’t all blood and guts like some of the other titles on this list. However, Fable III expands upon the past two Fable titles while still maintaining its RPG adventure core. Playing as the son of the hero from Fable II, you set out to lead a rebellion against the tyrannical king, who just happens to be your own brother. If you are successful, you take over the kingdom and rule it as you see fit. Along the way you can marry various women (and men), have a slew of kids, get STDs from the town prostitutes, make yourself look like a fool while dancing, and choose between being heroic and wicked to earn you the favor (or hatred) of the people who lived in the once great Albion. What makes this game so much fun is the ability to play at your own pace. There are an endless number of side quests, and a variety of ways to interact with people, allowing you to gain extra favor from the citizens (which comes in handy when buying upgrades) and keep you from the straight and narrow path your mission leads you on.

#5 – Shaun White Skateboarding - When I saw this at E3 I knew I would enjoy this game. I am not usually one into the skateboarding games, but for the hardcore sports fan, Shaun White is the authority at making a decent, realistic boarding game. The element I found to be the most interesting was the coloring/repairing of the world, as you skate through it. If I could skate, I would totally want to skate up and down buildings, along bridge edges, and up and down railings. This game takes it to the ultimate. You spend the majority of the time skating as the character you create, which I prefer, but by the end of the game, you can unlock the ability to free skateboard through the world as Shaun White. Really, I picked this for the wicked color scheme and ability to skate around the world, and I have not been disappointed.

#6 – Call of Duty: Black Ops - This has to be the most anticipated title of the holidays. Following the success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 earlier this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops had tough shoes to fill, and fill it did, surpassing sales records and maintaining a positive image for the Call of Duty franchise. Though this game is a sequel to World at War, Black Ops is far better than its predecessor. The game offers an engrossing campaign for single players as well as a fast-paced Multi-Player element. All modes of gameplay are entertaining, though there is a level of difficulty associated that keeps the game fresh. In single-player mode, you are a part of a CIA Black Ops team during the 1960s Cold War. This game combines stealth with kick buttery, taking warfare to a whole new level. Next to Halo Reach, Call of Duty: Black Ops is the best, most hardcore shooter you WILL buy this holiday season.

#7 – Halo Reach - As much as I love the latest release in the Halo franchise, it also pisses me off. This game is HARD. Gameplay is challenging, no matter the level, and I have played on all of them. The game will appeal to long term Halo fans, because it follows the typical structure for a Halo game. There are many familiar elements, from the missions to the stylistic design of enemies. However, the developers were not kidding when they said they were working on making harder enemies and developing a more compelling world for the characters of Halo Reach. You play as a replacement for a wounded member of Noble Team, who discover the Covenants is involved in nefarious things. It is your goal to take down the Covenant, though the ultimate sacrifice you’ll make is for the greater good of Reach. Multiplayer offers the chance to take on another player locally or online, as well as through Xbox live and a variety of modes, like the Slayer and Stockpile. Whatever mode you play, Halo Reach is the most solid FPS on this list, which makes it worthy for purchase this holiday season.

#8 – James Bond 007 – Bloodstone - Yeah, so this game is not quite as hardcore as the shooters I typically play, but I absolutely love playing as James Bond. Continuing on with a gaming structure similar to Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig returns as the world’s most famous spy. The story, for me, is irrelevant. I prefer going from scene to scene and taking down a slew of bad guys. To do this, players can do silent takedowns, where they stealthily take out enemies. I have always been one to prefer to use my guns, especially ones with silencers, but there is something ultra satisfying about waiting around a corner, ready to choke hold an enemy into submission. This has the feel off a big budget, action flick, where you get to be the bad ass, kicking butt while taking no prisoners. Though some of the harder gamers may scoff at this title, this provides more than a few hours of mindless, James Bond inspired fun.

#9 – Alan Wake - There aren’t very many authentic, hardcore, psychologically thrilling games out there. Alan Wake is one of them and the game psychologically thrills quite well. The stunning graphics compliment the hardy world of Bright Falls. You’ll feel like you are in a movie, playing the central character of Alan Wake. Alan loses consciousness, after attempting to save his wife Alice, who has been dragged into a lake. Upon awakening, Alan enters a deluded world of darkness and horrors too terrifying to see the light of day. What makes this work as a game is its episodic nature. The story is compelling and builds upon itself, until it reaches the ultimate climax. The thing is, instead of being the spectator, as you would when watching a movie, in this game, you are the star who must go through the experience to see the story played out until the very end.

#10 – God of War III - The ultimate adventure of Olympian proportions, God of War III returns to the time of the Ancients. Though I am not fond of the idea of storming Mount Olympus to kill Zeus (my own personal preference) it does seem fun to have Kratos and the Titans take on the famed Gods of Olympus. The gameplay is more brilliant than the graphics. That is saying a lot because God of War III looks absolutely stunning. I have always felt the games for PS3 were graphically superior to those on other systems and this title boasts what I am talking about. It is a dream come true to see the Gods personified, and they are done so well in this game. This is the final chapter in the fate of Kratos, but this action adventure story is worthy of comparison to any of the Greek legends that have been told over time.

All of these games I’ve had a chance to check out personally, and can say, without a shadow of a doubt, they ROCK!

Honorable Mention

Here are a few mentions of games we think would be great for hardcore gamers, but cannot recommend with first hand/knowledge or experience. Buy at your own risk!

Mafia II - Having played through the Mafia II demo for Xbox 360 I can honestly say if the game is anything like the demo, it’s pretty hardcore. Who doesn’t want to step into the shoes of a mobster, at least in a video game? The glitz and glamor that made a generation clamor for The Sopranos is encapsulated within this game, which features music and a backdrop straight out of America’s Golden Era. Featuring a brand new, 2K Czech game Engine, play in this gorgeously designed virtual world is smooth and precise with gun fights, explosions, rifle targeting and even hand to hand combat working seamlessly. With the amount of violence you’ll endure in Mafia II, 2K offers this title as an M for Mature game, and if you’re mature enough to handle it, this game is bound to reward you with all its cool new features, an upgrade from the original Mafia title.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare - What’s more fun than some wild, wild west shootin’ fun? How’s about adding in zombies to the mix? I never thought I’d see the day when the undead would infest the old west, but here Rockstar Games has done just that. More of a set of DLC packs, that add on to the original Wild West, 3rd person shooter game, this set includes the Undead Nightmare Pack, the Liars and Cheats Pack and the Legends and Killers Pack. While all of these sound pretty cool, I think I’ll stick with the zombies. There’s nothing like dueling with someone already dead, with nothing to lose in such a fight. This set includes a complete overhaul of the original game, with John Marston fighting to find a cure to the zombie infestation, with new weapons and a new world design. While all that made Red Dead Redemption worthy of play remains, these packs appear to add the right amount of zing to freshen up this old title.

Of course, you won’t catch me dancing. I tried it and this game is not too friendly, in a dance sense, for the gamer with a disability who has limited arm movements. That’s okay because I have a lot of fun watching and can sometimes be heard singing (though not in these videos).

The cool thing about Singstar Dance is that everyone can enjoy the game because it allows for grading on both dancing and singing. Even those who do not feel their dancing capabilities are up to par, can enjoy making a fool of themselves on vocals!!!

As you can see, none of us are professional singers or dancers (ok, the singer part is a lie for me – I have years of vocal training, but then I am not singing in this set of videos!). But, we still manage to have quite a bit of fun. This game is a blast to play alone, with a few, with a party. SingStar Dance is awesome in any environment, so check it out!

Perhaps these other reviewers did not gather a group of friends to rock out to tunes like “Uprising” by Muse, “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen, and “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard, as I did. Perhaps they do not like these particular songs. I do not know why they do not like this game as much as the others, but I can say with quite a bit of certainty, as a party game, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, truly ROCKS!

The big issue seems to be with the Quest Mode. While that is all fine and good, I must say just choosing QuickPlay, selecting a song, and going to it is a lot more fun than any other option.

I had a get-together with my friends, Anthony, Joey, Andy and Katie. Ash (my longtime girlfriend/partner, for those new to this blog) and I hosted this shin-dig, and we had a blast.

I’ve included two videos, featuring the gameplay, as we talk and sing in the background.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how much fun we had. For fans of Guitar Hero, I implore you to give Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock a try. It’s a lot more fun than other reviewers are claiming.

Note: Just for reference, this was played on the Playstation 3.

According to details, Grease: The Game, lets you play with as many as eight players. Rather than creating a new story, players get to explore mini-games which bring the movie environment to life. Naturally, this is more of a game for families and party play as opposed to something a hardcore gamer would prefer.

The mini-games included in Grease allow people to sing the movie musical songs, dance the hand jive, compete in sporting events to win that letter jersey, to enjoy graduation as only a Rydell student can, and to race down Thunder Road. When playing the Wii version, Grease is compatible with the Wii Balance Board. It is also compatible with the USB Nintendo microphones, which allows players to get into teams for Party Mode. In Party Mode you sing and dance in an attempt to dominate the Rydell High Musical scene. Story Mode allows players to fix up Greased Lightnin’ or to dance their way into Sandy’s heart.

The DS version is going to require proper rhythm skills from each player, as they will be forced to tap the best of the ten included Grease songs, following the Rydell High gang on their travels through school. A special treat for younger kids, come with the DSi camera function which allows you to put your face on your favorite Grease character.

Grease: The Game will be available in stores this August.
