Released in 2010, Metroid: Other M is an exclusive title for the Nintendo Wii. Following the success that Retro Studios had with the Metroid Prime series, Nintendo and Team Ninja worked together to make a game with the classic Metroid navigational feel, while still featuring the graphics and first-person mode of the last trilogy.

So, without further ado, here are AMO’s top picks of the best films, games, books, graphic novels and music CD’s of 2010!

Tales Of Monkey Island was released to critical acclaim last year on PC, followed by ports on both Wii and PS3. I immediately noticed that there was a surprising lack of concrete detail about the quality of the console ports available online. Therefore, when I finally finished the game recently on all three platforms, I decided to share my thoughts with AMO’s readers. This review will be less a review of the game itself (which comprises five chapters, each of which is fantastic) and instead offer a write-up on the different versions available and their various strengths/weaknesses.
