The year is just about done, and we've managed to look both back and ahead. One thing we haven't done, though, is do BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. We know what you're saying right now, or at least we know what you would be saying if your brain hadn't blown through the top of your head and is now fully detached from your spinal cord: "but that's impossible!" Is it, though? Is it really? Is it so hard to believe that games that are out now span hundreds and hundreds of years, so that merely by collecting them here for you we've all but created a wormhole in the spacetime continuum that threatens the very nature of time and matter itself? Are we getting ahead of ourselves? Should we really have smoked all that salvia before we started writing this? Probably not, so let's start over. What you're about to see is a timeline of major games that came out in 2010, from medieval Europe to the far-flung extraterrestrial future. Relive the past, get ready for the future, and enjoy the rest of your gaming year...
