    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.

    Fable 2 really?


    I love the game, but it is no game of the year.

    I'd like to think PETA would be kept as far away from this list as possible, but I guess that's why it's not my personal list.

    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.

    That being said, what disarmed game do you think really topped them?

    Now now, disarmed implies no weapons. JuiceMan is referencing firearms specifically.

    because the New York Times and Time magazine are paragons of gaming journalism? not something to be proud of there, crecente. don't worry, i still love you.

    @3inst3in is all up in your relativistics.: Time: N'gai typicall. Though in this case Lev Grossman. NYTimes: Seth.


    All three are fantastic at what they do. Perhaps you should expand your reading to beyond blogs.

    I still have a warm feeling in my chest from not being disappointed by a Fallout sequel. It was different from the previous ones, but great in its own right. Let's just forget about Tactics and BoS.

    GTA4 is an odd GOTY. Nearly every one of my friends who have a 360/PS3 bought it, and whenever the game comes up in conversation, it's mostly negative. The few that did beat it say that they had to force themselves to finish it, and they were seriously into the GTA series. It's odd how a GOTY would provoke such negativity among it's fanbase that put down $60 for it.

    Well if that's how we're going to do it, then no matter how many people got sick of it I'm sure Mario Kart Wii should be up there too then.

    I too am also surprisde byt the lack of MGS4 nominations but i suppose it was a kinda niche game although a fucking brilliant 1. I am saddened by the amount of GTA awards. I know its subjective nad my opinion and all but the game simply lacked so much fun when looked at in contrast with previous games.
