2010 is rapidly coming to a close and it was another epic year for co-op gamers. We took a look back at the news stories and features from the past year and a handful of games stood out amongst the 150 co-op titles that saw the light of day in 2010.
Halo Reach seemed to pop up all over the place and with good reason as it was one of our best rated co-op games this year. Rock Star's Red Dead Redemption also held its own, with an extended life thanks to quality DLC. Fable 3 was discussed and searched for quite frequently, no doubt, users wanting to see if the co-op experience was better than the previous. Gears of War 3 actually took top honors for the most popular news story, with the announcement of new screenshots piquing everyones interest. Finally we have Call of Duty: Black Ops, which we saw time and time again show just how popular the franchise is.
For the full list of stories, features, and games in order of popularity - see below.
