"Best game Ryan, Jeff, Brad and Vinny paid under $10 for"While it's a sound idea, what are the limitations to that? I mean, most Live Arcade games are $10, but those go with Best Downloadable Game, right? Beyond that, what other games are $10 other than shitty used games? I doubt...for some reason...that the guys are buying shitty games for under $10 used.
Despite that, I think it's a pretty novel idea.
Basically a "2010's 1999 game of the year" to feature things like NBA Jam, Goldeneye, Hot Pursuit, and so on.
