There aren't many developers who will strip a game from the vision they had for it, in order to answer the critics. Bioware is one of those rare developers, that took a game I loved (Mass Effect) and made it even better with Mass Effect 2. Brilliant game.

Why the industry was so surprised by the sales success of this game is beyond me. Red Dead Redemption could possibly be considered Rockstar Games' opus, with a compelling story, and character who you could sympathize with, and possibly the most amazing ending that was after the ending you'll ever see.

Why aren't you buying this game? No seriously... why?
-
Hey. Can you take that game you made, and improve it? Like... exponentially?
These are discussions that must happen at Nintendo, but damn if they don't succeed almost 100% of the time. This however, is the masterpiece in the Mario franchise... after Super Mario 3 of course. And not a Fred Savage in sight, either.

This may not be a spectacular game, but for the long running fans of the series (and let's be honest, if you still cared after the long standing development time for this game, you are a long running fan) this is a great game. It helps personify the bad ass we all knew Sam Fisher was, while "wrapping" up his story.

I'm hesitant to say this is worthy of being a game of the year, but I'm too busy destroying the buttons on my controller to care. The formula for the game is simple - take everything we did in the first two, add some pretty, throw it in a blender, and serve. This is an example of that working, brilliantly.

I love this game. And never have I appreciated this game, as I did the day that Nintendo had their E3 2010 Press Conference, and I saw what the true "Next-Gen" offering of Zelda they were giving us.
This is a Zelda ripoff. A ripoff so good, that if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Miyamoto and Co. should be blushing until the next decade is over.

Is it a good story? No.
Does it have good graphics? No.
Does it have an extremely large world that you can basically do stuff that doesn't make any sense in a real world environment, and the physics can be broken easily? Yes.
SOLD!!!
