By Matt Banks on December 23, 2010 | By now, you’ve all seen our 2010 Game of the Year awards. All five nominees are terrific titles and we would have been comfortable awarding any of them with the coveted honor. Only one could win and Red Dead Redemption took the crown. But those five games aside, we had discussed some great titles that just didn’t make the cut for one reason or another. We felt those games deserved some sort of mention, so hit the jump to check out a few other games we wanted to highlight for being damn good in 2010.

By Matt Banks on December 15, 2010 | It’s been one hell of a year. The games of 2010 will go down in memory as some of the best of the 21st century. Massive titles dropped on our systems over the past twelve months that have kept up coming back for me. While plenty of games were great, only one can win the coveted title of Loot Ninja’s 2010 Game of the Year.
We’re doing things a bit differently this year. Instead of breaking it out into multiple awards, we’re only giving a single Game of the Year award to the game we all feel is the best of the bunch. So, without further ado, here are the nominees for Loot Ninja’s 2010 Game of the Year! The winner will be announced early next week, so stay tuned!

It’s that time of year. We’re in the final stages of tallying up our votes for Game in the Year in a few categories. When will you get to see our picks? Let’s just say they’re coming really soon. A little birdie told me to expect our final numbers any day now, so keep your eyes peeled.
I guess I’ll disappoint everyone right now. No, Tony Hawk Ride did not win our Game of the Year voting in any category. It’s a damn shame too, given the glowing review Ryan put together. So stay tuned to hear our thoughts on the best games of 2009!

We have had a few days to think about what exactly went on at the video gaming industry’s biggest awards ceremony on Saturday. A slew of celebrities (and wanna-be celebrities) came out in droves to pay respects to this year’s best games. I set my DVR to record the VGA’s on Spike this year (as I do with all of my TV shows) and watched it late Sunday afternoon. I’m glad I did just that, because there were a few things I saw that I’m glad I was able to fast forward through. Hit the jump to find out what exactly those moments were.

It’s that time again when we can start talking about Game of the Year voting. We’ve already begun our internal process here at Loot Ninja and you’ll be hearing soon enough, but how about the top 10 games with the highest Metacritic average for the year? They’ve got you handled.
Their clear winner was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, something I cannot dispute. The game is flat out amazing. Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 came in second, Street Fighter IV on the PS3 in third, and Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 in fourth.
If you want to see the full list, head on over to Metacritic and check it out. Go get playing all of these games so you can weight in with your thoughts when we drop out Game of the Year choices on you really soon.
