Other than that -- cutting up some zombies has never been better.
P.S. Morgan Webb is Jesus Christ hott.

You poor soul...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Oh, wait, you're serious...
Allow me to laugh harder!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Is Zelda all you played this year?
Guess there's some Wii love over at G4...
I mean, there is NO way that anyone could justify DBZ as best fighter of the year. Even DBZ fans realize that their games aren't all THAT great.
Aparently, no one at G4 has played Tekken:DR for PSP. Not only the best fighter on PSP but easily the best fighter released this year. It's a portable that's better than CONSOLE fighting games for god's sake!
And yes, Okami should be SOMEWHERE on that list. I don't care if they have to make another catergory specifically for it, Okami is hands down one of the best games of the year. Clover Studios puts out pretty much nothing but gems and gets nothing but crap from the world. Now they don't even exist anymore.
*sigh*
and puzzle/party game -- oh cmon, how do those two relate at all?
As far as the DBZ game getting best fighter of the year, I actually heard it was pretty good. And honestly, did any other fighters even come out this year? I mean besides Mortal Kombat: I Haven't Cared About This Series Since 1993 Edition.
I need to get Elebits and Elite Beat Agents but I have to buy lots of gifts, so I think I'll have to steal or mug people
They're called sequals people. You don't play Zelda expecting Oblivion.
no dude buts its better than all other games i played this year that including okami , gears of wars oblivion (which i hate) etc.
and this is my opnion so i dont want you to try to tell me what i should like
And where's the "Best Game Nobody Played" category? That's always one of my favorites.

yea mine too bring back memories of beyond good and evil i love that game
The motions controls are a little unresponsive but still loads of fun. When/if you get bored of the motion controls, you also have the option of using the Gamecube/Classic controllers which actually gives it a few positive points.
