I think the majority of the staff haven't finished it yet. Vinny might've, but I'm not sure. 
 
If Dave does a list, he will probably include it.

@quezen: Would be extremely surprised if it isn't on Vinny's list.  If Dave makes one (likely not, though), it will probably be on his, too. 
 
Ryan didn't get a chance to play DA:O from what I've seen.  Not everybody can play every game.  Hence why Persona 4 wasn't really considered last year.

Dude, if you have been paying attention you would have figured out that he has barely played the game. I myself started it today and am full aware that I won't be able to finish it for some time. I am debating whether or not I can even properly put it on my list if I haven't played that much of it.

Killzone was pretty weak, he stated he wasn't really feeling Infamous and he isn't a big fan of fighting games. As for Dragon Age, he has played very little if any of it.

Its just that some games... like punch out and that rabbit game... nvm. everyone has the right for their own personal taste.
Just thinks its weird how he included Fallout 3 instead of DAO, I mean what did he play then in 2008? he never even tried F3?

Besides, he's a gaming critic. I'm guessing he's already loaded down with about 20 games.

So you find it weird that a person didn't include a game in their top 10 that they barely played.

If you guys listened to the bombcast you would know that he's barely played DA:O and hasn't touched Killzone 2.

There's a pretty good chance that he will. He's a favorite personality on the site, and him doing one would lend the site more content.

or that he had no interest in infamous or street fighter 4. now, you could argue that "i dont listen to the bombcast so how should i know that", which is fair, but then again, why do you even care about Ryan's opinion in the first place if you dont listen to the bombcast :P

That may be so, but Fallout 3 is what Ryan played.  Not Dragon Age.  And frankly, not everyone will play it, just like I expect Hell to freeze over before Jeff and Ryan try to play Demon's Souls.

Well, it's his top 10.  He also included DJ Hero and FEAR 2, good games that a lot of people probably aren't going to have on their top tens.  That's why it's individual and not a reflection of gaming as a whole.

because this site is anti pc and pro consoles and the pc version is better. That game isn't going to win any awards because of that. I'm only joking, i'm making stuff up. :D

I noticed that too. But I don't think Ryan enjoyed the game very much. It will probably fill the #1 spot on Dave's top 10, if he does one.

I'm gonna give props to Ryan for the list simply for the Wii love. Punch-Out!! and Rabbids Go Home aren't gonna be on many top 10 lists this year and they could use some notoriety.

I gave Punch-Out!! a pretty high spot on my top ten list, I can tell you that.  Not only is it an excellent Punch-Out!! game, it's an excellent game in general and a hell of a lot of fun.  I still need time to put into Rabbids Go Home, sadly.

Like everyone else already said, few of the GiantBomb staff have made significant enough progress in Dragon Age to include it in any GOTY lists.

NO he didn't. Yes his opinion is valid. I bet $1 Vinny has DA:O on his top 10 list. Dave will rep it without a doubt.

In the Top 10 video Ryan Davis acknowledged there were a lot of games he was unable to get into this year. Did he ever mention playing it on the Bombcast? I don't really recall, I just remember Vinny talking about it.

DA:O will probably end up being a "2010's 2009 game of the year" contender, seeing as most of the staff will probably end up playing it next year like they did with fallout 3 and Fable II.

Well may be because it kind of sucked there where so many things missing that should have been included , like a place to keep your stuff (and not charging for it as DLC) and the ability to queue your moves and that of your parties , would have made battles play out that much more smoother and more enjoyable . The shitty balancing of characters , this is a game for magic user all the way they are super powerful some would say too powerful .  But that is just my opinion on that game , blah I can't wait for mass effect 2 .

It's just his opinion, and he said so himself that he didn't play every game released this year.

@Enokei: I could not have a more opposite opinion, besides the item storage thingie, except that wasn't really a problem since most of the stuff you get, you're better off selling it and putting the money towards something more useful if you aren't going to use it right away.
 
As to Ryan not including Dragon Age in his tops... it's either another Fallout 3 moment where the staff will acknowledge it next year, or they just won't like it. I wouldn't be surprised with either route. But I do have to say... who cares? If you enjoyed the game, it doesn't hurt your enjoyment any less knowing it hasn't latched on to the Giant Bomb staff (not a lot of big RPG players, anyway), and you should just continue on playing it. If you haven't played it yet, and were waiting for it to get nominated for some kind of award here before you did, I'd recommend you go pick up the game (for the PC) right now. It's a fantastic game.

If Dave gets to do a list; it'll definately be included.
 
It'll probably appear on Vinny's list also.
