Thanks hawt stuff!!

Dont make me blush now.

No, on second thought...continue.
I like how this has started.

Perv!

You started it.

Looking at some of these though, I have to ask.
Is this the best the year really had?
Seems a bit weak.

I see only MW2 as a contender, IMO

Game of the Year category is strong though. I mean:


Assassin's Creed 2 = teh awesome,


Batman Arkham Asylum = teh awesome,


Uncharted 2 = teh awesomest.


I haven't played the others so I'm not in a position to comment. But three high quality games (four if you include MW2), can't be bad.

You're right Six.

I've been noticing the same trend in movies for a good few years now. Big budget movies keep winning the highest honours, while there are far better movies with less funds that don't even get nominated. I haven't gone to the movies for a few years now, and I don't really follow the Oscars either. Movies that are story driven or are reliant on quality actors seem to get pushed aside to be replaced by what studio has spent the most in $billions.

James Cameron is one of the biggest culprits of this. Sorry in advance now to anyone who enjoyed 1997's "The Titanic". If you liked that movie then I'm sorry for your troubles. That movie was absolute rubbish imo. But that was the big spending phenomenon that year. Far better movies haven't won anything simply because they hadn't the colossal funds to compete. There was no story to it. I mean Billy Zane running around trying to shoot Leonardo DiCaprio, and he going to be dead in about two minutes anyway. Get real. But the fact that it remains one of the all time highest earners strengthens your point abut spoonfed BS. The acting was horrific. Plus the fact that in a three hour movie, the actual sinking took only about half an hour. They didn't follow the actual tragic events at all. It was just a huge spending love story, that paid no attention to historical facts. That spells sell-out if ever anything could.

My sister asked me to go to it, so against my better judgement I went. I was bored to tears. I was like "sink the thing already". But just because it had all the money to spend people bought into it. It would be a pity if the gaming industry follows the same path.
