Best rated Steam games of 2010

The top 50 games on Steam by this measure, with the cheapest price we track for each. Ranked by the share of positive Steam user reviews, weighted so that a share built on more reviews counts for more (the rating formula SteamDB publishes), among games with at least 5,000 reviews (1,000 for a single year). Only games whose Steam release date falls in 2010. Refreshed several times a day.
