IVG Game of the Year 2010 Winners

[singlepic id=2449 w=500 float=center]
In a year full of sequels and franchise games, it’s not exactly a shock to find that both of our winners for Most Disappointing Games are sequels. It’s not a surprise either that both games were supposed to give their respective franchises a makeover. Both games tried to mainstream their franchises by either copying from other games or dumbing down the core mechanics, and both fell flat on their faces. Medal of Honor (our community winner) was supposed to be a reboot to the series and take it into the modern setting. It copied the other big modern warfare (ha ha) shooter shamelessly and ended up as a soulless game with no identity of its own. Splinter Cell: Conviction (our staff pick) decided that being an action game would help it shift more copies than being a stealth game ever had. So out went everything that made Splinter Cell unique, and in went a whole lot of cover-based shooting, auto-aiming and running around openly in well lit areas.

Staff Pick: Splinter Cell: Conviction
