Vanquish

Released October 21, 2010

Why It Made the List

It's a shame that more people didn't play Vanquish, because its third-person shooting mechanics are among the best of the generation. Developed by Platinum Games, Vanquish tells the story of a futuristic Earth where a densely-populated planet has everyone on edge. The United States and Russia do battle both on Earth and in space, and that's where your character, Sam Gideon, comes into play. Vanquish has been talked about as what a GI Joe game could have and should have been, and with good reason. The over-the-top enemies you're fighting invoke GI Joe, as do the awesome vehicles, while the sci-fi story keeps the narrative moving quickly.
