GOTY 2010: Dave’s Top 5 Picks
If you had asked me in 2009 if 2010 could possibly be any better, I might have laughed. 2009 was a landmark year featuring some of the best games of the decade. 2010 came along as an underdog, and boxed its way right into contention with a slew of amazing titles, some obscure but excellent and others completely obvious but equally excellent. To even whittle my game of the year choices to five seems insulting, and so in a way this list isn't necessarily my five favorite games of the year, but five that I believe deserve the recognition as games of their year.

When Witch Hunt was announced as the final and potentially grandest DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, I was excited. I had recently finished up my second, and by all accounts definitive, playthough of the game. I've played every single DLC thus far, liking the majority of them with a few finding a special place in my heart. I enjoyed Awakening, despite its bugs, and even have high hopes for the apparently very different Dragon Age 2 coming our way next year. But above and through all this was the one burning question left to me at the end of Origins: When do I get to go after Morrigan? In each of my playthroughs, I chose to sleep with Morrigan and spawn some kind of hellchild. To me, there was no other option. That ending is THE ending of Dragon Age: Origins. It takes arguably the two most important characters and gives them a continuing story. Yes, the game ends, but it ends with so much potential. The trailers and announcement of Witch Hunt gave me the very strong impression that this DLC would be the one to rule them all. This DLC would tell the tale of Morrigan, and possibly even put to rest the many questions we were left with so many months ago.
