Yeah I'd say Super Meat Boy has the best gameplay of 2010, but the difficulty tanks it in my rankings, hence the 4th place.

Also I know it's a while off, but Cuphead does the insanely difficult platformer thing so much better.

Yeah, I definitely agree that Cuphead is a big improvement. I guess Meat Boy is one of the milestones in the lineage of the same type of game as Cuphead, but to be fair to Meat Boy it was done by two guys while Cuphead had quite a large team behind it in comparison.

I played the first little bit of God of War II - essentially what constitutes the first level. Kratos is the God of War these days but he still feels very angry because the Gods didn't stop his nightmares about his wife and daughter, so he's trying to work through it by commanding a Spartan army to attack other Greek cities. Athena, meanwhile, wants him to stop being such a dick, so she and some other gods take away a bit of his power, shrinking him back to human size, and then bring the Colossus of Rhodes to life to fight him. Similar to the Hydra in the first game, it hounds you throughout the level with three or four shorter fights against it. It makes for a decent setpiece. You finish the colossus off by going inside it and draining its life force with a sword called the Blade of Olympus, which Zeus gives you. You're also fully powered-up from the first game in this level including a maxed-out Poseidon's wrath, and Kratos is also rocking a nice set of armor. Of course, like any game where you start off kitted out, you lose it all right away, in this case when Kratos puts his own godly powers into the Blade of Olympus.

Rather comically, he Colossus' hand falls and crushes him in the middle of his posturing after he kills it. Since he put his God powers in the sword, that mortally wounds him (it also makes all his clothes fall off for some reason.) Naturally, it was all a trick by Zeus, who also doesn't approve of Kratos' irresponsible God behavior. You have a little fight against him while controlling an injured Kratos with super slow moves, lose, and fall down into Hades, but you climb out in about five seconds. Kratos vows further revenge against the Gods, but someone on Olympus sends a Pegasus to help him with that. He'd better hope it's not another trick.
