Top 26-30: Red Dead Redemption may have been one of the hottest games of the year, but the Top 26 through 30 also feature worthy downloadable and portable games.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
Platforms: PS3 (PSN), Xbox 360 (XBLA)
Publisher: Namco Bandai
Developer Namco
Release Date: November 17, 2010 / November 23, 2010
Pac-Man Championship Edition rechristianed the pellet-munching yellow circle as a star of the Xbox Live Arcade. The sequel, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, takes things to an entirely different level. More courses, more ghosts, more power pellets, more everything. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is... without a doubt... the best PSN/XBLA game of the year. - Gaming Target Staff
PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe
Platforms: PSP
Publisher: SCEA
Developer Q-Games
Release Date: April 27, 2010
"PixelJunk Monsters is a game that lends itself easily to portable systems, and I'm glad Q-Games took the plunge and brought this much-loved game to the PSP. Easy to learn, difficult to master, this game is perfect for gaming on the go. With an adorable soundtrack Ц again done by Otograph Ц the game is both soothing, addicting, and maddeningly fun." - Nicole Kline

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Platforms: DS
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer Level 5
Release Date: September 10, 2010
"If you haven't picked up Unwound Future yet, do it. If you haven't played any of these games yet, what are you waiting for? If puzzle/brain-teaser games aren't your cup of tea, hand that cup over to Professor Layton, with which he'll continue in his efforts to be a true gentleman. With the continued improvement of the good Professor, the next two Layton games will be worth the wait, but by no means should any of them be ignored." - Ryan Littlefield

Puzzle Quest 2
Platforms: Xbox 360 (XBLA)
Publisher: D3 Publisher
Developer Infinite Interactive
Release Date: June 30, 2010
"Puzzle Quest 2 lives up to fans' high expectations and delivers a fun and lovingly addictive evolution of our favorite gem-matching RPG. The only downside is the inevitable economic crash caused by everyone abandoning their jobs to sit glued in front of their consoles in frenzied, non-stop gem-matching benders. Damn those Aussies!" - Troy Matsumiya

Red Dead Redemption
Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Developer Rockstar North
Release Date: May 18, 2010
"Red Dead Redemption delivers the package perfectly. It gives players a satisfying, open-world experience Ц those who want to follow the main story can do so in about 15 hours, while the completionists will have a field day with all of the side missions and other items added into the game. The sprawling, immersive environment and lingering soundtrack alone make the game worthy of a playthrough. But, above all, John Marston is a compelling and intriguing character. Humorous, intelligent, and extremely likable, spending nearly a full day as Marston is an experience I won't soon forget." - Nicole Kline
