It will be hard to pick a game of the year I think.. So much stuff coming out, not to mention Portal 2 also came out this year. I bet this years GOTY bombcast will be long!

@blacklabeldomm: I paid the guard then beat the shit out of him and got my money back. Dude deserved it for the shit he did. Also he is smoking in an out of the way place so when i beat him no one saw anything.

@BadNews: Ditto. It felt so damn good.

@Droop: I have a feeling people will forget Dead Space 2 also came out this year.

Skirym, Witcher 2, Portal 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution...
A great year for games, a bad year for my valet. Hopefully I'll be getting my copy in a couple of days.

Portal 2, Mortal Kombat, L.A. Noire and Dead Space 2 are going to make this year's GOTY podcast a (good) clusterfuck. Can't wait!

Skyrim might--just might--edge this out, if it's fantastic. But I don't think so. The conversation system, for instance ... what a breath of fresh air. Everything that LA Noire should have been, and a massive wonderful step up from the innovations in Mass Effect. Everything that was great about the last Splinter Cell combined with great shooting and the best stealth I've ever played in a game. A truly tense, interesting hacking minigame. Upgrades that all tempt me, making it the hardest damned decision to pick where to spend praxis points. A sensible inventory system. Just fantastic. Everything so far. I haven't had time to play as much of it as I'd like, unfortunately. This weekend I'll take a bigger bite of it. I almost want to drag out the experience for awhile, I'm enjoying it so much.

Yeah great game. Was trying to not kill anyone and was a good number of hours in...then I unlocked the wall punch. People started dying.

I am a firm believer that all problems in this game can be solved with a prompt donkey punch.

I love how you can just punch everyone.

You bastard- I just laughed out loud at my desk at work because of that video. LOL indeed.

I used my pheremones to convince him I needed to be sure she was in good shape to determine her value.

I played most of Dead Space and La Noire then promptly forgot both. In my Opinion right now the three GOTY candidates I have are Portal 2, Deus Ex, and Witcher 2.
