It is a flawed comparison I know that, which is why I mentioned I only researched it for 5 minutes.

This "controversy" about the Gears 3 DLC already being on the disk got me thinking about the cost of games.

HAHAHA wow, if that's true (if they didn't somehow pay extra to get next day delivery) that's hilarious.

I just lost all hope for humanity by reading this article, wow. How could anyone be that stupid? The sickening thing is, there had to be at least 2 people willing to pay around that much because it's an auction. So there had to be at least two people driving up that price. Unreal.

Can't forget about good ol' John Marston.

Yea, I know that but movies are a lot different. You can sit down and watch a movie and be done in less than 2 hours. Games can take weeks, and Skyrim and Skyward sword are both supposed to be VERY large games. I just don't see how they would have played the entirety of those games to get a good idea of whether…

Skyrim yes, the panel has probably played that, but how much of the game have they played?

haha...Well in that case I'm going to change what I first said and say that Skyrim has a 91% chance...whadyathinkaboutthat?

I don't get how Skyrim and Skyward sword are on that list right now when they're not even out yet. I mean, yea, they have a 99% chance of being really great games, but still, doesn't make much sense to me.

Not sure if they count downloadable games in the GOTY awards, at least not for the over all GOTY. But yes, Bastion is up there for me as well, amazing game.

what 5 would you have chosen?

Eh, I STRONGLY disagree.

3 things.

So I was thinking today how great of a game Skyrim looks like. Then I thought back to Oblivion and how much I hate/hated the combat system in that game. Surely enough Skyrim doesn't look much different, as far as combat is concerned at least.

Bionic Commando: rearmed? is that the game you're talking about? It's supposed to be true to the NES version, aside from the graphics, I don't see how you could love the NES version and not this one. I thought it was fun and thought the dialogue was so bad it was funny.

Lighten up dude. Who cares.

You can't go wrong with The Walking Dead, amazing show. You also can't go wrong with Dead Island, great game.

While I also long for the days of pure gameplay, gaming is still in great shape currently. Try out Portal or Portal 2 and tell me you didn't have a great time playing them.

Yes, the 360 is generally considered the better controller, especially for FPS's.

Well it depends what you like better.
