GotY list looking a little thin this year. :P

Obviously Origins wins this year, imho. Only experience to be had on the computer that is significantly superior too experiences available on other consoles, unless you want to resort to RTS which we don't. DA: Origins wins by edging out AA, imho.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

PC had a far better year than any console, what are you talking about?

almost all the games nominated are console ports, that is just weak for the PC, there was a time when we used to get original PC games nominated for game of the year, but that age seems to have gone

Only 8 games in the whole list are console ports, and they're all far superior to their console counterparts.

For comparison there are 18 PC exclusives in the list.

So you are either ignorant, or you're just trolling. You didn't even make an effort to count the titles.

I don't own a single game on that list.  Though there are a few that I want, just need the money.

calm down man, no reason to call me a troll or ignorant, i think you didn't read my original post properly, if you read it you will see that i am not talking about all the categories, i am talking about PC GotY category, how many exclusives do you see in there?

1, but I also see 3 other multiplat games that make their console counterparts look like complete crap (Left 4 Dead 2, Dragon Age, Batman). I don't even know why Braid is in there.
