Great picks and I've never played Burnout before but suprised not to see Left 4 Dead there... though for me the game is too broken and lacking in content.
Love all the choices but I only disagree with Burnout. Left 4 dead and Gears 2 multiplayer is way more intense and fun.
Brucie is an idiot, I could not hang out with him with out wanting to bitch slap him every time he said one more self delusional phrase. In a way I feel sad for him, and will wish him the best when the moment comes that he realizes his life is a lie, and flies his helicopter into the Hudson River, still screaming in denial that he is either, "The Man!", or "Awesome!", or that he actually ever fucked a chick, that wasn't a hooker with a dick.
Niko's Cousin on the otherhand, he's a little whiny and unstable, but is still for real.
I'd hang out with Big Boss, if he wasn't dead now. On a drunken night that dude HAS to have some good stories, "about this one time in Rio de Janeiro", and learn you a little about life.
Oh no, the poetry in Braid wasn't happy go lucky! Let's instead replace it with more meaningful dialogue like that which can be found in Gears of War 2!
While i don't agree with pretty much anything on this list, that's cool. Different opinions and such. But the only one that really bugs me is the Burnout Paradise for Best Multiplayer. I always feel like there's not really anything big going on when I do multiplayer. Yeah, it's solid, and yeah it's kinda fun to race and crash strangers but... I don't know, there's just no real involvement for me. I'm just as content playing it local multiplayer. I would personally have preffered Left 4 Dead or Smash Bros. Brawl, whose games are all about the Multiplayer, and really shine because of it. I think of those games and think "I can't wait to get some buds to play those." I don't really feel that way about Burnout. Plus, in the end, I don't think I would consider it quite as good as a game in general, so... there's that.
Looking forward to the rest of the awards, guys. Keep it up.
Resistance 2's online co-op is the best thing to happen to multiplayer since Halo 1 but who am I kidding, its a PS3 exclusive and this is giantbomb.
Wow, not shy about our biases are we Jeff? Burnout Paradise for multiplayer GOTY? No I don't think so. Then again, this is your site, so more power to ya man.
Game of the year awards are always pointless there is always some games on there I think are total crap and this year it is GTA 4 and games i want don't even make the list so I never read the things or just skim over them and or this year in the case the podcast since I was listening on the car ride.
Since I am obviously not in tune like few ways with the people at giant bomb because I thought the old mortal kombat games was crap and the few minutes of MKL vs DC inviverse sucked (and I amazed it is not on here with that max star rating thye love it I guess) and I thought the last 3 burnout games was way better than paradise.
So what eva.
Also them not likein megaman 9 I think pretty much proves i do not care for the same games as the workers on the site. Nobody will agree to any of these as game of the year.
What's up with you guys? And I mean you posters, not Giant Bomb crew.
