We’re now officially in 2011, which will no doubt bring many great games into gamers hands, and hopefully, we’ll see a few surprises as well. For the 2010 year in gaming, we saw lots of great games, here’s out Best of 2010 at DigitalBattle:

Best shooter: Battlefield Bad Company 2

The shooter category has been packed in 2010, with lots of games coming out, including yet another Call of Duty, a reboot of Medal of Honor, and Halo Reach. But for us, the best shooter was Bad Company 2, with an improved campaign over the previous Bad Company and by far the most fun multiplayer shooter of the bunch, even though Halo and CoD fanboys might disagree.

Best Indie game: Limbo

Limbo took many by surprise with its dark nature and creepy atmosphere. While there have been many indie games in 2010, and many good ones, Limbo stood out the most. Check out our Limbo review.

Best Xbox 360 game: Halo Reach

Xbox 360 saw a relatively quiet year compared to 2009, but it still had the last Halo game made by Bungie, and it lived up to all the expectation fans had. Read our Halo Reach review.

Best PS3 game: Heavy Rain

It was a close race between Heavy Rain and God of War 3, and we chose Heavy Rain because of its uniqueness and story. And for being a game that’s hard to find these days, a game with a sense of mystery. Read our Heavy Rain review.

Best Wii game: Super Mario Galaxy 2

Without a doubt, it’s the best Mario game ever made, and took the already awesome Super Mario Galaxy to new heights. It offers everything a platformer should have, and it’s a game all future Mario games will be judged against. Read our Super Mario Galaxy 2 review.

Best sports game: NBA 2K11

It’s widely considered the best NBA Basketball game of all time, including from our review. It helps that there was no competition from NBA Live/NBA Elite this year.

Best DLC: Bad Company 2 Vietnam

The $15 DLC added a whole new dimension to the hectic multiplayer of Bad Company 2, taking its talents to the Vietnam era, with new maps, vehicles and lots of guns. Read our BC2 Vietnam review.

Best racing game: Gran Turismo 5

It was years in development, costing close to $80 million, and yet, we kinda felt disappointed by GT5. Despite that, it’s still a good racing game, and there wasn’t much competition in the racing scene in 2010. However, GT5 was also…

Most overhyped game: Gran Turismo 5

While it’s still the best racing game of 2010, the years leading up to it made us expect the greatest racing game ever, which it unfortunately wasn’t. There were a lot of things that felt dated in GT5, like the AI. For more, read our Gran Turismo 5 review.

Biggest disappointment: APB

What’s there to say about APB? Much anticipated, it came out as a dud, and it seems developer Realtime World’s blew $50 million to create great customization for characters. And not much else. Read our full disappointment in our APB review.

Best game of 2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2

It takes an already great concept and perfects it to the bone. Best Wii game of all time, best Mario game of all time, and best game of 2010.

Runners up: Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, Red Dead Redemption, God of War 3, Bad Company 2, Halo Reach.

Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy 2 has been received with great reviews and fanfare, often getting perfect scores in the major publications. This has resulted in impressive sales, as the game surpassed 1 million copies sold in the US in just over a month. Of course, being a “Mario” game helped a lot.

Judging by early reviews, it appears that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the best Mario games to date, attracting lots of perfect scores from reviewers. Now Nintendo has, surprisingly, released the full soundtrack on YouTube, which you can listen to on the official channel here.

A Super Mario Galaxy 2 disc has been spotted in the wild, and it’s nice to see someone using some creativity on their discs nowadays, instead of just stomping a title on it.

With all of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 media dropping left and right, it’s pretty evident that the game is shaping up to be one of the best Mario titles as of late. Today, we have a new, brief video for you (included above) that shows off the classic side-scrolling action that is the be included with the game.

I’m guilty of buying a Wii and pretty much never playing it again after I finished Zelda and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, I think Super Mario Galaxy 2 may give me reason to blow dust off the Wii and pick it up on May 23rd, 2010.

It seems that Nintendo is staying true to their roots with Super Mario Galaxy 2 as it was recently announced that the game will not feature a hub world, like the original Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 64, but instead it will feature a world map. If you’ve been with the Mario franchise for a while (and who hasn’t?) you’ll recognize the world map from classic games like Super Mario Bros. 3 and newer titles like New Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be out for the Wii on May 23rd of this year.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is shaping up to be quite the amazing game and today Nintendo has been kind enough to give us a look at the box art. As you can see, it features Mario, Yoshi and everything else you would expect from your typical Mario world. Of course, it has the whole interplanetary Super Mario Galaxy theme thrown in because it is a Galaxy game, over all.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be out on May 23rd exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.

Hot on the heels of the game’s release date announcement, Nintendo has come forth to give us a somewhat in-depth look at Super Mario Galaxy 2. Included above is the video that shows gameplay similar to the original will all news twists and adventures for you to undertake.

I was a bit iffy about getting this game before but after watching this trailer I think I’ll definitely have to get it.

When you think Nintendo, what is the first game you think of? For me, it’s Nintendo. But that’s probably just because I grew up playing Super Mario Bros. for the SNES. But anyways, Mario’s latest adventure Super Mario Galaxy 2 has just gotten a release date and that is May 23rd.

If you have a Wii, this is a must have.

Considering Sonic made an appearance in Super Smash Bros: Brawl it only makes sense that Nintendo would considering their close alliance with SEGA and bring the lovable blue hedgehog to more of their titles. Now, a rumor has been circulating that suggests Sonic will appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

The rumor comes from NGamer magazine who says a source close to Nintendo gave them the information. Is it to be believed? We’ll have to wait and find out.
