One of the most interesting lists this year was MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games. Joystiq and Massive Online Gamer both had good lists that had surprisingly similar results. In the end, Star Trek Online ended up being everyone's best new MMO in 2010!

Perhaps the most interesting development in the retro gaming market is the creation of new "old games." My favorite and latest video game addiction: Minecraft.

Someone can obviously give up gaming for Lent, but can someone force him/herself to finish a game for Lent? I don't have any data to back this up, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of gamers start games, but rarely finish them before switching to the latest and greatest game since the one they bought last month. The entire industry seems to feed off of this idea, releasing so many titles that it's almost impossible to keep up, forcing gamers to either miss out on titles or jump through them so quickly they never finish one. For me it goes even deeper. We all have our problems, yes, and one of my biggies is instant-gratification... especially when gaming.

But wait, just in case you're thinking this is going to be yet another horrible Sonic game (which has been just about every Sonic game since Sonic 3), keep reading... trust me.

You can't wait, right? It's torture! I know how it is, you hear a new game is coming out that you can't wait to play, you read about it online, talk it up, watch trailers and try to get the inside information. Then Gamestop or somewhere starts taking pre-orders and you slap down a quick $5 to reserve your copy on the street release day. Then you sit around and wait. Well, I don't have an alternative for you, but I do have some games I hope will be worth waiting for...

Unfortunately, what I found Brutal Legend to be was altogether similar to the title itself, just plain Brutal. So Brutal in fact that I decided to not even warrant the game with a game review, but instead blog my experience.
