    So Fat Princess for the price next year? I'll start voting for it as soon as it is downloadable.

    I love You Have To Burn The Rope, but I personally don't think it shouldn't win for the same reason I was annoyed at Super Columbine RPG being in Slamdance a few years back. Yes, it's got an interesting message -- but there's really not much of a game there.


    If you haven't tried it, I recommend downloading the demo of Brainpipe.

    @Weaselfingers: I agree. Despite how much I totally love it, YHTBTR is not a game in the sense that counts here.

    This is a really good line-up of indie games. Should be interesting.

    Burn the rope is rubbish, it's not even a game. Not even a demo. How can you vote for that? Keep the arty farty comments on media and interaction for more serious mediums. Burn the frickin' rope... jeez.

    N+ all the way baby. Best game of this generation in my opinion. There is an N browser game and if they just tweaked it so that mouse click was jump it would work fully on the PS3 browser. That's the only thing stopping it.


    You can use the d-pad and it just needs click. Such a simple fix - as mouse click on PS3 is X it would feel work perfect.

    Where's Ikaruga? Where's Exelica?


    Guess it's a minor category so I shouldn't be too upset. I'm sure there'd been people banging on the XBLA guy's door if they ignored those and nominated the 1942 remake.

    Uhmm... Braid and Castle Crashers in Best Graphics? Are there really no games with good graphics? I don't say the graphics of those games doesn't fit or is bad, but it's simply nothing spectacular or breath-taking.

    @Naryoril:


    Braid's are and graphics are amazing, what crack are you smoking?


    And both Castle Crashers and Braid were made by 1 or 2 people. (Braid - 1 person / Castle Crashers - 2 people)


    Both art styles are amazing and very well made. Even though SF2HDR will most likely win, they definitely deserve to be nominated.

    @Darrisbob1 worked at WalMart once: SF2HDR does not deserve to win anything graphics related with its jittery animation and hideous art style. Rez, Ikaruga, Portal, and others should have been nominated in its place. Oh well.

    Braid, Street Fighter HD Remix, Castle Crashers, REZ HD are all winners. For the family, Roogo should win, because it´s easy and has an awesome art.


    But where´s Ikaruga? It came out in 2008, right?

    if only people realized the true story and what not of braid...
    It's not a fairy tale...

    let's just say that the princess exploding when you get the 8th star, and WW2 propaganda poster in not of the puzzles has something to do with the real meaning of the game.

    @procrasturbate: Don't worry, UrstinStitch hasn't really spoiled anything for you. You'll really like Braid, it's an awesome game.


    @UstinStitch: You're probably partially right. A braid, by definition, is made up of more than one strand of hair/rope/whatever. Jonathan Blow said that the game wasn't just about the atomic bomb, that's because although that may be one theme, there are many more. That's why it annoys me when people say, "Braid is about x" or "Braid is about y." Braid is not solely about one thing, it's about x, y, and z all mixed together.
