Best PC Games of 2010
2010 was a big year for gaming, but perhaps a bigger year for the world of advertising men’s toiletries in a towel. Old Spice hit viral gold with its Old Spice Guy campaign, generating 23.5 million YouTube views. “Hello ladies” will forever be etched into our memories, as will the handsome star of the ad wearing only a towel. The ad proved so popular that even Sesame Street produced a spoof.
While you were working on your physique to match up to Old Spice Man, or playing with your fancy new iPad and watching horrifying footage of a lady throwing a cat into a bin, you may have missed some of the year’s best PC games, which included indie hits Limbo and Super Meat Boy, two titles which couldn’t have been any further apart in their gameplay. Also making waves was Blizzard’s long-overdue return to its StarCraft franchise, with the launch of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.
