Top 10 PC Games of 2010

2010 was a nice year for PC gamers. It could have been better, but still it was great. Strategy and adventure fans got to play a lot of quality PC exclusives, from Starcraft 2 and Civilization V to Gray Matter and The Whispered World. The indie devs once again proved that they can really surprise us and deliver some amazing games. Titles like Sleep Is Death, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Minecraft and Super Meat Boy are some of the best indie games we got this year.

Sports and racing fans were left behind but thankfully, EA managed to deliver a great PC version of Fifa11 and NBA2K11 from 2K Games is astounding. WRC 2010 was the perfect blend of arcade/sim rally racing and would have made it in our Top10, if only it had more stages and better menus/presentation. Split Second was a hell of a game, Blur was a fan arcade racing and even though F1 2010 was not as sim as we'd hoped to, it was overall a nice game. RPG fans got to play Mass Effect 2, Two Worlds II, Fallout: New Vegas and Alpha Protocol, whereas the action fans enjoyed games like Bad Company 2, STALKER: Call Of Pripyat, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Starcraft 2 Performance Analysis

After 10 whole years, the sequel of one of the best RTS games is finally here. So it's time to see how well the game performs.

We'll use a Q6600 with 4GB DDR2 and an Nvidia GTX295 to see how well the game runs. We don't need to use a powerful I7 CPU, as we want to see the optimization of the game engine. We chose ultra settings with 1600x1200 resolution and fired up the game. SC2 merely supports quadcores as you can see bellow. It's funny but i expected better optimization from Blizzard, especially since the game is CPU intensive and is released only for PCs
