I'm saddened not to see any separate section for RTS games, as Sins of a Solar Empire should get a LOT of praise for what it is in its entirety. I'm also surprised you haven't made a category about DRM :P
Shoot if you have a Wii get Okami Too! I've played it for both and can't really pick the better one. But if you have either console, after getting Christmas money you need to go buy Okami for either system pronto! I prefer the Wii version a little...
oh, my. great list, but there is something in here that is just so wrong, oh so wrong.
the only genre of game better played with mouse and keyboard are RTS-s. fps games are way better when using a 360 controller (if played on a console that is, if you hook it up to the computer; it gets kind of weird..)
i can never imagine playing CoD4 with a mouse and keyboard (though i have, and it sucked), consoles have come a long way when it comes to shooters, and sitting bent over a mouse and keyboard is just uncomfortable, weird and makes the games worse. there, i said it.
FALLOUT 3 AS GOTY?! YOU BASTARDS! THAT GAME DESERVES ONLY TO BE SPAT/SHAT ON! WHY! HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED MGS4, GEARS OF WAR 2 OR RESISTANCE 2?! KISS MY ASS GR, I NO LONGER RESPECT, OR EVEN LIKE YOU. APART FROM THE NEWS, I'M NO LONGER GOING TO BE ON THIS SITE UNTIL YOU CHANGE THAT GOTY. FUCK. YOU.
By the way, to all of those that did not buy any of EA's new IP's this year, don't even complain if they go back to crappy games next year! IMO your right to complain is hereby forfeit!!
Thanks a lot!
P.S.
Mirror's Edge and Dead Space are awesome games!
Yeah but even though I love Gears 1 & 2, it's just more of the same with some added functionality. Save for the whorde mode anyway, and don't even get me started on the train wreck that is multiplayer. They needed to fix a lot of things before ever putting out a new map pack!!
Nice choice for game of the year. Fallout 3 is fantastic. Btw, that Left 4 Dead video is hilarious. Have you guys done a feature on the biggest pussies caught on video playing games? If not that would be great!
