@ElephantFace: NFL 2K5. That is all

@drawingflies: I'm pretty sure many ppl who bought this will still have a copy in 5 years. RDR...not so much. I'm only defending 2K11 so vigorously because I'm a longtime gamer and a longtime sports nut. I get the feeling around that they're mutually exclusive.

One thing that bothered me about the debate for 2K11 (and confirmed here) is this double standard. Even the best BBall game ever can't be GOTY because it's just a BBall game. It seems to me that the main argument for RDR is that being a Western allows it to be worthy. I concur that the experience is great, but to me…

I buy from Amazon and, more recently, Steam. I have free Prime as a student for a year so discount + free 2-Day = Win. I will go to Gamestop for used games and if i don't care if an accessory is new or not.

Been playing this for a long time now. The new upgrades are great, and I will be getting the pro membership when I upgrade my comp. My user is the same on there, so find me!

PC is slowly taking over my soul. The only game i'm more geeked about is Civ V.

@Kaarjaren: Co-sign. Getting the City-State votes should be easy at this point. It just depends on who is allied with who at this point. It's also your quickest path to victory, as all the others would require a massive amount of resources.

@Roy Campbell can't get enough of the entire Metal Gear Solid 2 soundtrack and loves his PS2.: Is it bad if I wait to play it just cuz of that?

Playing the first Shogun right now. Even though it's 10 years old you get the epic battles that make these games fun. The best part is taking out everyone with The Legendary Geisha.

A recent article in Wired has this as one of its game-changing ideas. The owner's would never go for it, but it would improve the sport even more than taking it international.

I spent hours on item creation in Power Stone 2. The items in that game were awesome, and I was genuinely bummed when I got a steaming hunk of junk.
