Leah Jackson is the Game Cap Lab Assistant at G4, which means she's also known as "The Girl Who Runs The Refrigerator," because they keep the temperature at about 40 degrees in there so the machines won't melt down. She's also a hardcore PC gamer who is extremely legit. So don't mess with her. She'll kick your ass.
I know the game has only been out for a few weeks, but in that time it has surpassed every other game this year for me. With all of the new quests and the ability to now fly in the classic zones, I just can’t get enough. With Cataclysm, Blizzard has given me everything I ever wanted in WoW, and even things I didn’t know I wanted. It’s a fantastic expansion for the series, and it’s definitely my favorite game of 2010.
Read on for the rest of Leah's Top Five!
SC2 is one of the only games from this year that I kept coming back to again and again. The campaign was fun and all, but for a super-competitive PC gamer there is nothing else out there like StarCraft 2. I spend far too much time researching various strategies to keep my opponents guessing in order to move up the ladder, and I also love SC2 because of its community. I know it’s weird, but I’ve never met such a passionate group of people regarding a video game before, and I just can’t get enough of them.
I never played a Civilization game before Civ5, but man did this game hook me when it first came out. I loved trying out all of the different world leaders, and seeing who was the best at dominating the other civs. It was so much fun massing cannons and taking over all the different cities and villages. I never actually tried to win with a diplomatic or scientific victory, because I’m a baller like that.
FF13 certainly had its shortcomings. The game was way too linear, but after I got over my initial hatred of Final Corridor Fantasy 13 I fell in love with it. The story was super convoluted, just like all of the FF games, but I seriously couldn’t put this game down for weeks. I got all of the ultimate weapons, yes, all of them, and leveled them up to 100 like a good crazy person does. The art, music, and battle system just kept me coming back for more.
It’s not very often that I like a racing game as much as I liked Blur. The game is like big girl Mario Kart! With real cars! The graphics and physics in Blur are all amazing, and I truly enjoyed this title. Plus, the minigames and challenges offered a lot of extra replayability which I liked too.
Check back as the entire staff reveals their Top Five Games of 2010. What were yours?

A girl who plays MMO's, RTS and RPG games and people are bagging on the list? Sacre bleu! Though I suspect is Abbie put nothing but FPS games on her list, everyone would be like "woo abbie, wuv you! marry me!111"

These five were my personal top five for the year. Leah, you have officially become my favourite G4 employee (aside from Uncle Casey, of course... but with that beard, who can argue?).

It's sad how many people bash the opinions of the g4 staff considering they are just opinions. Now Leah's list contains 5 games I haven't even played because I don't like Strategy games, and as much as I love rpg's and the Final Fantasy franchise, XIII just did not sound like anything I wanted to play because of no cities and extreme linear path for over 30 hours. But once again, its her favorites so be nice.

You guys amd gals really have some diversity for your top 5 games. But I wouldn't be surprise if you didn't do this next year. It seems some people think that some lists are "lame" or "incomplete" just because their favorites games aren't listed.

This list is pretty gangster. Haters are gonna hate.

Hoorah to Civ5 for making another list

Finally, someone who liked Final Fantasy XIII liked I did.

My personal top 5:
Mass Effect 2 - My top choice for GOTY
Halo Reach - Great campaign, awesome multiplayer, great ending (stay after the credits)
Deadly Premonition - Despite the flaws, this game had one of the greatest main characters ever (isn't that right, Zack)
NBA 2K11 - One of the greatest sports games ever. And this is coming from a guy that hated Michael Jordan. (I am a diehard Spurs fan)
Limbo - Art defined. A beautiful game.

It's really nice to see someone with something other than the norm in their list. Completely agree with you on Starcraft's community. Blur was very nostalgia-inducing for me.

I hate Douchebags. Everyone who is bashing her because her list isn't what you would put on your list, deserves a swift kick in the balls/ovaries. Seriously.

Holy crap, people sure don't understand this idea of "opinions." The Webmaster should put on a list of 1 out of 5, terrible, movie licensed or just down-right awful games, from 2006. Then, anyone who complains in the comments gets the ban-hammer, as well as their email put on spam/scam-lists and really freaky pornography sent to them (straight from Carl Paladino's inbox).

glad to see a different list from the norm...but
yuck...

I don't understand the complaints either. feel free to disagree but don't complain about someone's top 5. lol
permanent_nirvana
Was my copy of Blur defective? I dont remember it being that great.
greeknerd
I don't get why some people are complaining. Wouldn't it be boring if every one liked the same thing?
Aaron82
Yay! Blur made someone's list!
Although it had some major problems as a piece of software, still a good game.
silver_ninja25
I loved her descriptions of her top five. Very hardcore PC gamer indeed. Definitely not my top 5, but still is a pretty god damn awesome list.
