Nominate the Best Retro Games of 2010

Post by racketboy »

As the year draws to a close, lets take this time to reflect on the year's releases and nominate some of our retro favorites.

Here's the basic ground rules:
The game was released in 2010
It doesn't have to have 2D graphics, but a 2D perspective is usually a good rule of thumb.
It can be a compilation or a re-release (including download services)

I think that's pretty much it....
I look forward to see what games you guys enjoyed.

I will compile the results and we'll vote on them around New Years.

Thanks!

Shantae: Risky's Revenge
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
