January 4 2011
There were several big video game releases for which 2010 will be remembered. In the console department Red Dead Redemption walked away with all kinds of awards, as did the single-player Mass Effect 2. In multiplayer PC land Blizzard dominated the scene by reinvigorating an old and beloved franchise as well as releasing another expansion for World of Warcraft. A couple of new military shooters also arrived this year, which could become the norm going forward. These are my picks for the best multiplayer PC games of 2010.
Sequels can be risky because some people want unique and innovative changes, while others demand that the game stay close to its roots. StarCraft 2 manages to walk that fine line nicely, bringing the highly-praised StarCraft series into the 21st century graphically and improving the interface while still offering similar core gameplay to the original. It eases people into the fierce competition on Battle.net and there are a wealth of multiplayer maps to choose from. StarCraft 2 is already an eSports favorite and seems destined for many years of popularity among multiplayer RTS fans.
