Best point-and-click games of 2010 We were planning to wait until the end of the year before publishing this list but such has been the demand from our readers for more point-and-click games that we decided to bring it forward. This article is a follow-up to our list of Top 10 point-and-click games that we published at the end of last year. 2010 has thus far proved to be a pretty good year for point-and-click fans.
