*cue white people saying "BUT THE CHARACTER IS JUST WHITE. THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. HE'S A WHITE MAN. IT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE IF HE WEREN'T WHITE. BECAUSE OF LIKE, HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY AND OTHER REASONS. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE. BUT HE ABSOLUTELY CAN'T BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE WHITE RACE. k" *

DAMN IT!

So, what you're saying is, speed may have been a factor?

Cool to see that SRIV got 3 votes; very, very sad to see that Tomb Raider only got a single 3rd place vote. It was definitely my GOTY, for no small part because of the reasons I listed when I nominated for it. I think we'll see the lasting effects that game had on the industry far longer than any of the other games…

Your comment shows the sad state that the gaming community is in. Just because they didn't pick your games and picked the "mainstream" choice it somehow hurts their credibility and reputation.

Yeah, good pick.
I'm pretty bummed Tomb Raider didn't get more love though. That was actually my second favorite game of the year. Perhaps because it came out so early in the year, it's not as fresh in peoples minds.
Otherwise, nice list Kotaku staff!

I just thought it was ok, but my kids love it. "console seller" is pretty subjective based on your tastes. For me, ZombiU was hands down. Best survival horror game I've played in the last 10 years. The other 2 have no systems sellers for me as a gamer, which is why I don't own one. If Wii U keeps getting awesome…

I returned my Xbox One for two reasons: A. the system's software SUCKS, as does the new Kinect, which is actually worse than the old one; and B. There are no compelling games. Dead Rising 3 is utterly "meh", Ryse is boring, and Halo: SA is a fucking PHONE game. Forza, I don't care about at all, because it's a racing…

True. PS+ has such better selections. There have been a couple of hidden gems though. I really enjoyed Defense Grid and Iron Brigade. The multiplayer in Rainbow Six Vegas works surprisingly smoothly for such an old game.

Maybe that is true, though he have said in several interviews that he hopes Microsoft consoles does good in sales. He doesn't want one to come out on top, he says it is best for the consumer when two companies must strive for excellent in order to get the consumer to buy their product. It is true then the consumer…

Sasha and Malia, I love you girls but you don't even know what an embarrassing dad is! Your dad asks your friends about their homework? My dad made any boy that came over listen to him play the accordion before they could watch a movie in the basement with me, and my dad got REALLY into playing the accordion.

This is cruel and unusual punishment and therefor is illegal.

This game looks gorgeous.

Ditto—my dad died when I was 6, and I'd give a lot to have something like this to remember him by. So many feels! That poor kiddo and her dad! I hope this was cathartic for him and the sister, too.

My mom died when I was 6. My heart goes out to this little girl and her dad. She will really appreciate these photos one day.

Well, fuck. Excuse me while I go drink a bottle of wine.

Okay, I'm obviously not awake enough to properly read yet, because I read that as "US Canadians" instead of "us Canadians" and was confused for a few minutes. I was all "American Canadians? huh? And if they are American Canadians, why can't they see the video? Wouldn't it work? OH. Oh wait. Us as in a collective…

No one is playing these new consoles. There's barely any good games. Never buy launch consoles. Wait a year or more. When till the price goes down and they have more games and worked out all the kinks. Most are doing this, hence Neither being second in the poll. We're still busy playing GTAV.

Pajar are THE BEST. I'm from Montreal and these are the only boots that kept me warm and dry!

I know it's more popular on Jez to say snarky things about the K-fam, but girl is GORG and I LOVE me some Khloe.
