Limbo again? Totally called it, I don't understand the love for that game, I really don't
 
Cool artstyle, yes, solid platforming, yes but GOTY? Guess I better move along, opinions are opinions

Awesome video!  This is definitely standing out as the dark horse list among the bomb crew.  It may not be a list that matches with mine but it's a good and varied one nonetheless.  My favorite part of the GOTY stuff is remembering how many great games came out this year.  Keep up the great work guys...glowy...

Well done, Drew! 
 
Again, props for putting Limbo on 1. and a huge prop for putting Alan Wake on the list. I loved both of these games for the very same reasons.

Second. Saying so sure does get some folks fired up, though.
 
Well produced, well spoken, and ostensibly thoughtful enough. I don't agree, but I don't have to in order to appreciate it.

Drew needs to show his face/voice on GB more often. I'd love to hear him on a podcast once.

If I look at your achievements I'd say it's pretty likely if not guaranteed that I won't find Limbo there based on this comment. Limbo is not Braid. Now Braid is a great game, but Limbo could - and should - show up on some Game of the Year lists and if you honestly gave it a go I believe you'd agree.

Yep, that's why it's not on these lists. Dohohohoho
 
Anyway, disappointed to see ME2 and Reach so high (or in the top 10 at all), but overall still a decent list.

Kind of weird that they are allowing Minecraft...kind of like me demanding that Dead Space be in the list just because I really like it and it take up all of my time in 2010 or something...I don't argue that its not a game but definitely not a 2010 game.

@gamerpigeon: I don't think its really fair to try and say that Drew can't choose a game for his own top 10.  I put Monday Night Combat in mine, but I don't expect others to like it just as much as me....

Quoted for truth! 
 
I put Persona 3 portable and Enslaved on mine, really irks me when people say it is wrong to like these games as much as we do. The main awards are for the technical and graphical masterpieces to shine, removed from personal quirkness.

Saying that about any game people like gets them fired up. It's not like it's exclusive to Limbo.

especially since they went out of their way for a special award for Borderlands which had lots of DLC this year but officially came out last year, and they wouldn't count it for this year. Minecraft probably shouldn't be on here, although it is still in "beta"? So maybe it shouldn't even count for this year but next year!?  :)

he's been on the podcast before as a fill in when others are sick, maybe not since they've moved offices though? but yeah back at the old place he was on a few times. id like to have him on more too though, he is part of the GB crew afterall! 
Maybe he doesn't like to be on it though? then I wouldn't want to force him :)

@squidracerX: Yeah, I don't agree that Minecraft should be considered at all for any specific 2010 GB awards, BUT I am pretty sure that it is not (outside of personal opinions).  I believe on the podcast yesterday, or maybe it was today, Ryan said something about that it would not be in GB's yearly awards.

Now this is what i'm intrested in the Staffs top 10. I hope Dave has a top 10 aswell I'd be annoyed to think he didn't and Alex did ... just saying.  
 
But yeah great list Drew suprised to see Blur in there thought everyone had forgotten it. Also mad props to the production on these videos you guys went to town on them hope this is a sign of what to expect in 2011.

I think people need to realise these are their personal top 10 lists. I'm pretty sure Drew and Alex haven't played anywhere near as many games as Brad, Ryan and Jeff and listening to the podcast we know that even they missed out on games this year as Jeff only recently played Beyonetta which came out in January. While I wouldn't put Blur in my top 10 list, I can see why Drew did which he explains.

Also, more Drew please.
