So we all know that 2010 is going to be a big year for gaming, if not the biggest. We have Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell, Bayoneta, Battlefield and Final Fantasy 13 and this is all before the summer. But what about the games we haven’t heard much of? In this series of articles I will be looking a few games that in my opinion have a chance of coming from nowhere to grab that converted title of game of the year.
 
The first game of the series is …

Now most would already know that some time ago Gearbox Software promised that a new character from The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx expansion pack will be getting a Twitter account.
Apparently that time is now, and the revealed character is none other than the one, the only, Mr. General Knoxx !!

In my opinion, it’s between three games. Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy, that this years underdog, Resonance of Fate.
Now everyone has talked about the first two to death, so I thought I’d draw your attention to the latter.
Developed by Tri-Ace and Published by Sega, the game is set to be released in the second half of 2010. This game hasn’t been given so much press so don’t worry if you haven’t heard of it – it’s a real underdog at this point.

Originally called End of Eternity in Japan, the game …

The hit arcade game; Splosion Man, had got a lot of press since its release. Not only is it a resurrected old favourite, but it was also said to unlock avatar clothing at the end of the game. The game has 50 levels of multiplayer funness, and an online 4 player mode to match. The game received a 9.0 review and has been called, ‘one of the most awesome games of all time’.
