Game of the Year 2010: Day 02 Recap

Gregorian chants of the year goes to....

Just notice that Kirby wasn't even on the initial list for Best Looking Game. Then someone said "hey Kirby" and they were like "oh yeah Kirby" and in the end "Kirby is the winner". So GiantBomb-ish.

" I want to see Dave's top 10 next. "

" The crosshairs aren't centered.  The. Crosshairs. Aren't. Centered.  How can you play this? "

I've seen better poop from a butt from my own butt.  They should see my poop!  Mine's better because it's mine!

Hooray for inverted controls! (Are there really that few of us Vinny?)

" @Kajaah117 what should exclusive got 5/5? How does a number change it being less eligible to be the best. The best can be very subjectiver to began with. "

You need to leave..Giantbomb fanboy reporting in. Frist off none of them played halo MP for an extended period. Name some examples of great co-op from this year? Halo 2. Co-op was awesome that was the last halo game I played. I am inclined to believe their opinion. P.s. Try English. "

You know, guys, I stopped being interested in the Halo series shortly after Halo 3 came out. But you know what? They're quality games, and it's okay for other people to like them. Please, I implore you: Give that perspective a try. Just because you don't like Halo, it doesn't mean that the games don't deserve praise.

yes all good picks

Halo Reach was a very well made games. Solid in almost every way, but Alan Wake was such an awesome experience it makes me sad that they knocked it off the running. I guess Alan Wake was a very polarizing game. 

This makes me really wish I still had a 360 :(

halo reach isn't much of a coop game as the extra players had no role in the world or were they part of the story    
 
 
and shadow broker should have won

Should have played some minerva's den ...

god, jeff really should have changed the control scheme.  literally every time he tried to melee, he threw a grenade, and vice versa.  that was starting to get pretty frustrating to watch, honestly.  
 
but great video nonetheless! 

Im sorry, but watching Jeff play this is painful.  Also it says RECOMMENDED not NECESSARY, you can play everything in matchmaking except for the special DLC playlist.

Jeff is amazing at Halo.

Vinny rocking some nice leather pants 

"I know it was only Jeff who reviewed it, but I find it awesome that the game they agreed upon as a group that deserves Xbox 360 GOTY got a 4 out of 5. I could not agree more with the decision, but now I really can't wait for the podcast to hear how this happened. "

I just lost a lot of respect for you guys with Minerva's Den goin up.  I'm with Brad on a lot but most of his argument made no sense.
 
It was ALL of you against him..so Minerva's Den finally wins because you all got sick of arguing over it?? wtf?  should have just left the category go.
 
Only reason I care it won is because of the debate...it's on there because you all gave in to brad's crying..
 
well ok then.

Splinter Cell: Conviction had a WAAAY better co-op experience. In Halo, you just have more dudes to shoot aliens with, in SC:C co-operation is REQUIRED, the characters mean something in the story, and that ending??? That was great. 

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

This video was bodacious.

I am with Vinny, I play Halo Reach with Boxer controls

Of course Reach is the best 360 game, it was a more complete package then most games these days. Great single player, co op, multiplayer and hell even editing tools for people who are into that kinda stuff.

Great Co-op and Multiplayer. 
 
Story? 
 
Myeh.

I don't get how God of War 3 wasn't up for good visuals. That game is probably the best looking game ever!

Super Meat Boy should have won best downloadable game

ugh i guess it should win because its one of the few xbox exclusives

"was that a fuel rod he had there?"

Inverted FTW.

Emoo

Brad, so stubborn. 

The quick look of Halo really showed that if they were ever going to possibly do a new ER maybe it should be all four of them

Minerva's Den winning is such bullcrap. The only one fighting for it was Brad, and dude...BioShock's storytelling is so contrived and stupid. Shadow Broker was a fantastic add-on beginning to end, ESPECIALLY that awesome chase sequence. Plus, I think ME2 is a great shooter on its own merits too. I didn't think BioShock (2007) delivered on anything it was praised for. Awful gameplay,  lame preachy and wrong story...I hated it. The visuals were the only plus. I was very let down since I loved the demo a lot.

It's wrong to shun Minerva's Den purely on the basis that Mass Effect 2 is a better game than BioShock 2, but hey that's where I find myself. Despite how good Minerva's Den might be I just can't justify recommending people get BioShock 2 just to play it, whereas I would recommend Lair of the Shadow Broker to anybody & everybody because you have to play Mass Effect 2 to experience it.
