Mass Effect 2 is my GOTY of 2010.
A superb 3rd person cover shooter from Bioware which in and of itself ought to tell you what you can expect. Excellent story and characterisation worked into a phenomenal galaxy that you can't help but be drawn in by. Add this to improvements to the combat from Mass Effect 1 and you're looking at a sublime game, worthy of your attention.

Super Meat Boy is a subtle blend of awesomesauce and brilliant. It just is. :)
