what about starcraft 2 or super meat boy?
i think its a decent selection having played insomniacs games i can see why they would pick these.
You also notice how different their tastes are from the general public no cod or battlefield bad company or say a god of war 3.
this would not be my list though
rockstar is an amazing company and they proved it with RDR. it makes me extremely excited about L.A. Noire.
*usually during the install. :)
Should they pick interesting games or games that they LIKED?
Hell yeah, man. Pissin in mah damn kool aid, son.

If you can last the install times, your woman will be impregnated 30 times by the seeds of the Chimera and Spyro the Dragon.

I FUCKING LOVE RESISTANC3,
You know why?
Because it's not Duke Nukem Forever, Portal 2, or Brink.
Arguing this fact will just prove it more.
It depends if DNF actually releases in 2011.
Portal 2 is guaranteed to give you robot cake babies.
And god, Brink. I want brink soo hard.
BUT RESISTANC3 SHALL HAVE MAH BABIS.
Wait wait wait!! Are you a man, a women, or bicurious? I read one of your comments like 2 days ago or something, and you talked about your "Mrs", which made me think you have a wife, and now you say Resistance 3 will impregnate you? And your avatar is of a guy with long hair? You Japanese androgynous anime characters are weird... O_o
That game is fucking tits.
And for all of you praising the multiplatform love here, it's not weird at all considering they are making a new game on the 360 also. That, and the simple fact that they are gamers and real gamers don't hate on platforms ffs. They just love games. :)
I get upset when 2010 was such an incredible year and so many great games and developers deserve recognition and they get shoved out of the way for crap like Red Dead Redemption consistently across the board.
I guess I can applaud them for including Rock Band 3 which is just an absolute gem of game design.
But I dunno. It's frustrating. There are obvious trends right now that seem to be influencing the way everyone is remembering and rewarding in 2010 and it's upsetting. I still have yet to hear a good argument for Red Dead's gameplay. Just it's presentation, which I agree is fantastic. One of the best this year. But can incredible presentation and gameplay that just works but isn't anything special be enough to be GOTY? That, in my opinion, is the burning question and what I've seen for the most part is everyone thinks the answer is "yes". That bothers me.
I guess I see your point; RDR's gameplay certainly wasn't anything new.
However, presentation goes a LONG way to making a mediocre game into an exellent one. Take BioShock, for example. Vanilla shooter, but my God the presentation!
It was just so...boring. Sure, it had a lot to do, but was hunting glitched hawk-men really fun, or did you just really like the western environment in an era that barely has any non-shit western games?
The crazy/random encounters, expansive environment, and deliberate pace really did it for me. Aside from glitches (I didn't hit many myself), great "emergent" moments happened, like merely walking to a shop, and having that random (if repeated) attacked prostitute scenario happen. Or when a fierce storm rolls into town during a gunfight.
I'm also not at all over solid (if by the book) cover shooters. If I had played a bunch of them, I imagine I'd feel different about the whole thing.
Also, Gay Tony was a really brilliant episode. I wish we had more GTAIV DLC.
You obviously don't like RDR. And that's fine, I won't try to change your mind. But a game that so many people love must have some merits. At the very least, it certainly isn't "crap".
I really like RDR. All things considered, it's my GOTY. I also quite enjoy the gameplay aspect of it. You may think I'm just some idiot who doesn't know what a good game is. But the fact is, I really enjoyed playing it, along with millions of other people, and you shouldn't be bothered because we do.
Shit ton of people love ME2, they say it's their GOTY. I don't think it's all that great, but the fact they do certainly doesn't frustrate me.
