10 games you probably don't know about but should

How many great games have you not played yet this year? Check out our roundup of 2010's best video games that you might have missed.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge



The Scoop: Shantae: Risky's Revenge; By: WayForward Technologies; For: Nintendo DSi

Purple-haired and sharp as a whip (the purple hair, that is, which snaps like one), Shantae is one of those 2D platform heroines you've never heard of, but a handful of gamers worshipped her when she debuted on the Game Boy in 2002. Risky's Revenge isn't a remake of that game, it's actually a sequel, and with its splendidly drawn, colored, animated, and scads of smartly designed levels, quite possibly the single best reason to pick up a DSi.
