If that baby ain’t in contention, then Angry Birds gets my vote :)

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 1:26 PMI haven’t had much to do with mobile gaming so I’m a lil blank on it. I’ll throw in my, more than, two cents for nominations:
Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker
Super Scribblenauts
God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Valkyria Chronicles II
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future/Lost Future (I can’t remember which is US or AUS name, and I pretty import all games from US these days anyway.)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
Korg DS-10 PLUS
Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
Angry Birds (I think the first chapter came out 2009 but then later ones, and Android release, were this year.)

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 2:18 PMWow, looking back on my DS collection it looks like 2010 was a quiet year for that too. Nothing particularly notable except for Mega Man Zero and maybe Infinite Space (still haven’t played it yet). And Super Scribblenauts I suppose. And possibly Ivy the Kiwi.

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 10:00 PMShin Megami Tensei Persona 3 Portable, handsdown winner. I played loads of games this past year and this even pipped Dragon Quest ix as far as Im concerned. Its the best, and Im a DS fanboy.
