@Jimbo I think the point which has been made many times by Jeff especially is that the score is largely irrelevant, the review's text is the most important part and Alex scoring SR a 4 just accentuates that some people may not like it and there are some problems.
The guys loving the game nevertheless is why it was #2, but for the GOTY it was concluded by all that Skyrim (NB not on PS3) should win.
Just play and when you but the points to be promoted you will start playing better people in the next league. If it is too tough for you you will be relegated and play people around you own ability.
Head to head seasons are just a way of trying to keep people playing against people at the same skill level, where the previous xp system made bad people who always loose progress just as good people who don't
Humans who settled and created countries were the ones who progressed, the stability of non-nomadic life allowed for the invention of society as we know it today (society having evolved over thousands of years).
Look at the nomadic tribes of the Amazon and the natives of Australia and New Zealand, they did not progress as settled tribes did. Geography dictates where people can live, and squabbles between people define whether they live together or not. These disagreements led to nations, nations manifest themselves today as countries for the most part. Where would anyone be without countries?
I think Ryan's affinity for Portal 2 will swing some votes (though his final decision will probably be the clincher for whatever he chooses), Skyrim should win it.
If I were a betting man and there were a place to bet on these things I would put a sneaky wager on Portal 2 winning Giant Bomb's. I think one thing in Batman's favour is that Jeff may feel it is owed something not only because of how good it is but also because of how narrowly it lost out to Uncharted 2 in 2009.
...or everyone will just pick Skyrim (while Vinny will take on Jeff's wrath by suggesting Dark Souls)
I couldn't do most of the bits I wanted to stealth through stealth, It says something that despite this I still enjoyed the game beyond most things I've played since UC2.
To me the green looks like the green of the Grove Street families from San Andreas. I would prefer to see Washington but feel that LA seems more likely -- so long as they give us something new akin to how Liberty City changed I'm sure it will be great either way
