    Actually, a live bedtime story cam service is BRILLIANT! I bet you could get massive grant money if you billed it as a pre-school lliteracy booster for underpriveledged kids. How awesome would it be for a little kid who has no books at home to learn to read to go to the library and have someone at StoriesCam.Com or whatever read to them?

    The BioShock ending did suck massive balls. Compared to the rest of the game's story, the ending was a total letdown. Sure, it was touching and all seeing the ring slip-on, and the "little sisters" holding your hand as you slowly wittled away. But it was leagues away in comparison to the "would you kindly" reveal.

    Plus, it's not even really an ending. What I described takes place over the timespan of about thirty seconds, with a lame voice-over.

    Am I seriously the only one on the planet who didn't think the ending sucked? Yeah, the boss fight was pretty Plain-Jane and definitely didn't end with the same genre-bending narrative that the game had retained up until that point, but it wasn't bad. It was just a regular fight against Supervillain #1. The cinematic after that, however, was incredible - assuming you didn't harvest any Little Sisters that is.

    Also, you don't HAVE to kill Sander Cohen when you meet him at Fort Frolic. I let him live and eventually gained access to his apartment later in the game, which garnered an achievement.

    @(Human) Gyaruson: I thought the complaint was that it didn't end with Ryan and instead had to deal with Fontaine. I felt the shit after the Ryan encounter felt tacked on and is what sucked. Plus the boss fight felt anticlimactic, it was a decent fight but not worth it after the great experience before it.

    Miyamoto jumping over the moon
    And there were three little Gears sitting on chairs

    And WoW pet kittens And a pair of mittens
    And a Silent Hill house And a young mouse

    And a comb and a brush and Rockband playing Rush
    And a quiet Tim Schafer who was whispering "hush"

    @glued: Working on a screenplay called "Where the PS3 Owners Are"

    Here's an excerpt:

    "And when he came to the place where the PS3 Owners are they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws"

    Goes on like that for a bit... working out the ending now.

    I'm surprised Fable 2 and Fallout 3 won anything. Hell, I still can't get over how anybody could enjoy Oblivion, and Fallout 3 was an Oblivion mod with shittier dialogue, broken combat, and more brown. I liked Fable 2 a little, but it was the exact same fucking game as Fable 1. My personal pick for game of the year: Braid of Goo.

    For me, it's a tossup between MGS4, L4D and Fallout 3. But there's another game that should be mentioned:


    Army of Two.


    Yes, I know. It had problems, the plot was ridiculous as was the attitude of the characters.


    But you know what? Fuck that. If you have two controllers and your best friend over, there is nothing else worth playing (besides perhaps LBP). You're too busy shooting, laughing, being witty and telling your friend to "go on a SNEAKING MISSION!" to notice the (admittedly massive) flaws in the game.
