Why anybody would pick Dead Space Extraction over Wii Sports Resort, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, or New Super Mario Bros. Wii is completely beyond me. I think Rol's right. They were intentionally trolling the Wii by picking a flop. It seems like everybody prefers the new Resident Evil Chronicles or House of the Dead Overkill when it comes to guided first person experiences.

i thought Dead Space is one of the best games i played this year on the wii. is slightly better than House of the Dead and way better than the annoying cheesy Resident Evil

MPT isn't game of THIS year its a bundle and a remake so why give it a GOTY?

Wii Sports Resort is the same as the old one with added features, what would you think your reaction would be if Final Fantasy XII Zodiark Edition won the year it came out?

i Cannot argue with the other games you liste , Muramasa is a great game and it deserves the GOTY also , NSMBWii also

Have you played Wii Sports Resort?

can sum1 tell me wtf demon souls iis?

It's an impossibly hard PS3 game that many praise for its sense of achievement gained from surmounting its amazingly difficulty obsticles. If you like a challenge, it's a good RPG, made by a Japanese company. However, it is not a JRPG. As Ubisoft recently demonstrated, JRPG is a genre of games that share many similar traits, and a JRPG is NOT a statement on the physical country the game was developed in, or the ethnicity of its developers. Demon's Souls is contrarily, a WRPG made in Japan. The story, like SotC, is made up of mostly atmosphere and brief backstory, as the game is about very challenging gameplay and excellent atmosphere and graphics. I thought it was pretty good, but I can also see a lot of people getting very very frusterated with it. I recommend it to hardcore gamers only.

That's just like what the people at Tokyo Pop said about manga, when ignorant people said that if it wasn't from Japan or made by a Japanese person, then it isn't manga/anime.

Just thought I'd say that lol

By " flop", you mean picking a game that's actual considered good...but just didn't sell that well? #1 I thought Wii games just couldn't flop because dev costs for Wii games was -$1B, so the developers make profit for every hour they work on the game lol and #2 Why did Demon's Souls win for the PS3 over Uncharted 2, KZ2, etc.? It's considered a good game, but those other games are considered better and they both have sold more



I know these are opinions but

demon souls beating u2?

dse beating nsmbwii?

No wonder gamespot is no longer cared for.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil
