Our 10 Most Anticipated Video Game Sequels of 2010
2009 is over. The decade’s done. And after a slew of games were delayed from this holiday season, now we look ahead to 2010.
But when I was writing this list, I found it hard to narrow it down to just 10 games; there’s a lot of good stuff coming out next year. So I decided to split it the list into two: the tried-and-true franchises …

The Most Controversial Video Games of the Decade
Violence, sex, race, religion.
Certainly controversial topics on their own, but perhaps even moreso when they’re depicted in a video game.
