    man as long as I get more sketchy main character images from that game its a 10/10 as far as I'm concerned, they were so great

    Final podcast is out, and color me disappointed in the final choice that is not trackmania. Dubstep ghost fighting wizard brad is the best thing.
    ugh... the busted ass ps3 port really makes me hate these skyrim choices. One day i might be able to play it, but not until it actually works.

    Gears 3
    Batman: Arkham City
    Witcher 2 - in what is the best presentation of a #6 with ghost dubstep battle
    Dead Space 2
    Portal 2
    Bastion
    Saints Row the Third
    Skyrim

    With the big surprises at 5 and 6

    Kinda can't believe that Skyrim got it

    Three of the five put it at #1 in their personal top ten, and they all had it

    Two of them didn't even consider Skyrim one of their top ten!

    If I didn't know Giant Bomb better I'd say it was a shot at making a "legitimate" and safe number one choice (as they've done in years past; GTAIV, Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2). I'm guessing the real reason is Brad filibustered the whole thing again. Definitely need to listen to that podcast

    EDIT: Not saying that Skyrim might not deserve it, it's just...with everything presented so far from the Giant Bomb crew, it doesn't really fit as their #1 choice.

    That's a pretty good list. I wish Portal was a little higher, but it's tough to argue with ehst they put in front of it. Turned out to be a pretty good year for games, all things considered

    If I found Dead Space 1 to be really lifeless and dull, would DS2 change my mind?

    EDIT: This question actually applies to Rayman as well. I guess I could try the demo for that one though.

    I liked it. Especially with the secondary characters.

    The environments haven't changed a lot, if that was what contributed to your opinion on the first one. But the story's a little better, so I'd say at least give it a try.

    It was such a great playing and looking and controlling game, but yeah, the environments were super dull, and the character design of the enemies was roundly awful

    can't believe dark souls didn't get in there, especially if witcher 2 is in there.

    Vinny was the only one who really liked Dark Souls and Jeff outright hates it

    Vinny also loved Witcher 2 but Ryan and Jeff, maybe Brad too I can't remember, also played it and enjoyed what they saw

    Patrick's list is hilarious.

    I bet Jeff will never forgive him for number two.

    No, for Dead Space. It's the same game, with more focus on action. It's better, but it's just more Dead Space.

    I would counter this because I think Dead Space 2 is fantastic

    but Dead Space and Dead Space 2 are very different games

    Great, so they picked a game that isn't fun simply because it has the most content. Brilliant.

    Just finished podcast.

    God fucking dammit.

    Jeff just caved in at the end, Vinny (my BROTHER) defiant to the last, Ryan didn't give a shit. Ugh. Another Shoemaker filibuster rewarded. I would be mad at him but I know by now that he and I are exact polar opposites and I tend to hate everything he loves.

    all the rampant SR3 praise is getting to me, I thought it was cool and had some crazy sequences, but outside of that I was saying to myself "why am I playing this if Just Cause 2 exists"

    Because Just Cause 2 doesn't have all that power

    maybe my opinions are a bit skewed, as I'm playing JC2 on the computer, with mods for every vehicle for 1 buck on the black market, 2km grappling hook, and multihook

    They cut MK due to being broken online when it first launched. I'm just going to leave that statement there while we all gaze at what's # 1.

    ... a game that I played 15+ hours of before a single patch came out?

    Yes because it isn't widely beloved and acclaimed for being a really great game at all

    Having played JC2 and SR3

    Saint's is so much better it isn't even funny

    Just Cause is insane but the story itself is cliche boring bullshit. All of the insanity is player-created

    Saint's Row has the player created element but also features an amazing campaign. Plus the driving controls are so much better

    I've never had any problems with Skyrim, for the 30 or so hours I've played. Guess my experience must be bullshit.

    I am so sad that Deus Ex didn't make the top ten

    That game has some of the best dialogue in any game I've played

    At least Jeff and Patrick liked it...

    I wish I had an up-to-date PC. $17 on Steam is stupid cheap.
