    Favorite game: Bastion

    Favorite Panel: Rooster Teeth was good, I also liked the Escapist Movie Night (Yeah, it was kinda jerry rigged, but I'm a fanboy what can I say?)

    Favorite Indie game: Orcs Must Die

    Favorite Game: L.A. Noire

    Favorite panel .. Major Nelson LIVE podcast taping.

    Did not hit may panels as I was more concerned about seeing games and the lines took forever.

    To qualify, I didn't spend a whole lot of time on the show floor. However, the storytelling in it is positively brilliant in how it seamlessly blends with gameplay, although the combat isn't particularly unique.

    Child of Eden was good too, although not overwhelmingly awesome like I thought it would be (not enough going on to keep me engrossed.

    Indeed, somehow the contrast with the art style worked really well too.

    Favorite Game (The I got to play): Gears of War 3. Mortal Kombat was also great.
    Panel: Videogame Antiques Roadshow. X-Play Live surprisingly amused me though.

    I had planned forever to bring 2 of my incredibly rare items to be appraised but I thought not to. However now I wish I had. Next year I will for sure.

    As a big Ebay collector/trader myself some of the stuff I saw was more common that anything.

    I knew 100% at least one person would show Panzer Saga for Saturn. Was almost a guarantee in my mind.

    The NES prototype was very cool to see as well.

    Favorite game: DYAD, although the archery game on the 3DS (simple, pure fun to play) is a close runner-up.

    Favorite panel: N/A. I spent the con demoing in open gaming, so there wasn't any time to attend a panel.

    I did, however, get up to ACAM, and had a few rounds with Burgertime. Congrats to whoever was playing Dragon's Lair on Sunday that made it all the way to the end.

    Favorite Game: Guild Wars 2 (which I knew was going to win this before hand)

    Favorite Non-GW2 Game: Firefall. A game I hadn't even heard about but decided to give a shot after missing out on the TOR line. It is fantastic. It would be a fantastic full retail game even though it's going to be a free-download-free-to-play. Main reason is just how much the combat felt like the original Tribes. Best feeling jetpack since the Tribes series for sure.

    Honorable mention goes to Trenched (for being really fun) and the 3DS (at the Capcom booth, for actually working).

    Only panel I went to was the GW2 one. I was stressing too much about my schedule so I tossed it out on the first day and decided to focus on the floor.

    My favorite panel was the Video Games Antiques Road Show too. I almost expected that the room would be half empty and was really pleased at the reception and the cool stuff people brought. They could have made that twice as long and I would have been happy.

    I loved the graphics and the gameplay of Bastion - and I dug the voiceover script. I HATED the voice itself. It was too Duke Nukem for the game for me. It stood out like a sore thumb and got really old really quickly. I wish they could rework it with the same nicely done scripting but a less booming voice.

    I agree completely, I wasn't expecting that much interest in it, and I really wish they had more time than an hour. I hope it comes back next year and I really hope they make it longer. Such a great panel! Kudos to all involved!

    Favorite Game: LA Noire, because it seriously makes me sadpanda that I have waited this long for an XBox

    Favorite Panel: The LoadingReadyRun SUPERPANEL, so named because they had a panel, an hour break, and the screening in the same room, so they asked the Enforcers if it would be okay to just camp out the whole time, making a one hour panel into a 4 and a half hour superpanel of awesome.

    Favourite Game: Munchkin. Was introduced by a new friend, and am now dying to play it again.

    Favourite Indie: Warp. French people making games kept me double-entertained.

    Favourite Panel: The Giant Bomb panel was good, although they had sound issues meaning that you could not hear most of what happened until we managed to move a bit closer to the front.

    Did any of you attend the retronauts panel? I was a tad dissappointed at the brevity of it but I understand the time constraint. I was hoping they would focus more on the 20th anniversary of the snes.

    Best game (not just my favorite game, but the BEST game): Child of Eden

    Rez is more or less my favorite game ever, so when I went on Sunday and the doors opened I power walked straight to that booth. It was so awesome that I got in line immediately to play again, and after the 3pm raffle they said that the game's creator might be there in about an hour, so I went back and played again while waiting for him (he didn't come). I have a PS3 but I'm putting serious thought into getting a 360 and a Kinect for Child of Eden (pointing at the screen with move controllers won't be as natural an experience and I'm pretty sure that Child of Eden will be the last videogame I'll ever need anyway)

    Second favorite: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

    I'm addicted to The Mercenaries in RE5 and the addition of things like being able to run while you reload make the game feel much faster.

    Favorite game: Ehhh, didn't really play a whole lot of games (bad!) that I didn't already know. Burn in Hell was fun. Whack a Catgirl and SPANC were both awesome.

    Panel: Parsely Games was a frickin blast. I got Action Castle and it's sequel because of it. Can't wait to run it. But I can't decide if I liked that better than the reverse Q&A with the Harmonix team. That was a fantastic panel on community in disguise. A big thank you to everyone who worked on each panel.

    Fav Games: Me and my buddies played the crap outta Snake361. It's mind blowing how addictive the classics can be. Also, Toy Soldiers: Cold War was amazing!

    Favorite Game: gotta be Portal 2, looking forward to that so much.

    Favorite Indie: Snapshot seems like a great game, be interesting to see if they can extend it out to a full product or just a XBLA/PSN curio

    Favorite Panel: by a mile, the Musical Guests panel. Hightlights were the Commander storming out when he heard there were nerds in the room (who else wanted that door to be alarmed? :p), Paul and Storm giving that guy $40 for "What Wouldn't Jonathan Coulton Do For $20 is the name of my Paul and Storm cover band" and the reaction when Metroid Metal finally got asked a question... superb. Quote - "I always knew I was going to lose control of this panel, I just didn't think it would be because of the audience"
