I must say that I was particularly happy when I saw that the first line of his intro was from Jackie Brown; that film deserves any and all exposure it can get.

Awesome!
Thank you for the heads up and link.

The Walkind Dead game is that good? Is it on PS3?

Surprised Clatrap won character of the year.

Surprised Clatrap won character of the year.

The Walking Dead game Deserved "Game of the Year." But IMHO, The Game choices were chosen quite badly, not saying they aren't good games, just saying I was expecting games such as Halo 4,
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2 and many more games deserved places in the nominations.

With the "Character of the Year" I was amazingly surprised when he won. Was Expecting the good old Master Chief to rise again!

Also loved the sequences with Sam Jackson and his new and improved "Sam Jackson Mode Difficulty's"

Yea im pretty sure this claptrap character isnt that good as say conner or chief. Surprised he won.

Agreed, the choices were odd. What system or format is the Walking Dead game?

He has his moments of pure hilarity, but yeah he's not exactly a developed character outside the humor. He's only a side character anyway. I wasn't really blown away by any of the characters in games this year though. There were some decent ones, but not like the abundance of the pst few years with the Kratos, Ezio, Masterchief, Snake, Drake that we've had dominate in the past.

Appreciate it dude!

The Samuel L. Jackson parodies were very much overused, and The Walking Dead seemed like such an odd choice for GOTY, in my opinion. It's a popular series, so I guess anything with that label would have won GOTY to appease the masses (whether it was deserving of that title or not).

All in all, I was bored out of mind with the VGA this year. I slept through some of it and woke up to find that I didn't really miss anything at all :/

I know, right? That spot was totally meant for Tiny Tina.

 

[Solidus]

Another thing: Does "Game of the Decade" make all of the GOTY awards that we're issued for the past ten years irrelevant?

Half-Life 2 should just be called "Game of Forever", and governments around the world should erect giant statues of head crabs in their Capitol buildings.

Good point, if so, then , Arkham City IS better than Skyrim, just like I've always known in my heart.

Every piece of new footage for Tomb Raider gets me more and more excited for it.

Your heart is shaped like the bat symbol. Skyrim is better but ac is the best hero game ever made.

Skyrim is just like Oblivion and Fallout 3: two games that were heralded as the "best" of the respected years that they were released, and also the only two games that I never even bothered to complete. The environments were too huge and overwhelming. I really didn't have the patience to spend 100+ hours just walking around and exploring when there were a lot of other games that I wanted to play. I also find it quite boring to play as myself in "choose your own adventure" types of setting where your actions in gameplay dictate the direction of the storyline. Bleh...

To me, Arkham City nailed it quite perfectly. It harmoniously blended a large open-world with a straight forward plot, that made me want to complete the game, and also replay it for a second and third time. Plus, it's the G-D Batman!

Practically everything about Arkham City gave me a giant nerdgasm.

Edit: omg, so many typos from typing on my iPad
