I just got an email from the Wall Street Journal asking me to link to this article in their Technology section on the “Unsung Videogame Heroes of 2010”.  At first I was surprised and excited, then I saw the list.  The list is a very obvious “Our game didn’t sell enough so please plug it one more time for us” PR post.  Just look at their selection:

  • Fallout New Vegas – Would have been more popular, had it actually been playable.
  • Mass Effect 2 – An Unsung Hero?  It was one the biggest titles of 2010.
  • Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2 – So much potential, it quickly wound up in the bargain bin for having a lousy story and boring gameplay

Come on.. Some true “Unsung Heroes” of 2010?

How about anything that didn’t come from a major studio?
