Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Thread: Skyrim? Skyrim? Skyrim? Skyrim? Skylanders!

I just finished Saints Row: The Third last night and it was great mindless fun. I highly recommend everyone who is a little bit interested in playing this game to avoid this video at all costs. It shows one of the best bits in the game and you DO NOT want to ruin it.

If you already saw it, theres plenty more to see though
 
I like the FMV vibe on these videos, looks great. Not surprised at their choices either, they have been gushing over SR3 for months.
 
I am fine with Deus Ex being shut out. Easily my "WTF does everyone see in this?" game of the year.

I can see what people see in it but the boss fights plus just poor 2nd and 3rd acts really hamper it for me. By the end of the game, I was actively hating on it. Which is a shame because the first act is really really good.
 
I'm a little surprised Ryan actually put that game on his number one spot, but well, at least it's not Skyrim! :p

And I guess Super Mario 3D Land will get Ryan's vote for handheld game of the year, Jeff will agree because "Sure, it's a good game." and Vinny/Brad haven't played enough/any handheld games to really agree/disagree with that, so I just spoiled that category for you.
 
Yay, daily podcasts :D .

Btw, The Dutch Slayer, I think it's better to organize the OP based on the day. Like:

Their final GotY discussion podcast is normally over three hours long, so you have that as well :)
 
Loved Vinny as Zordon. The Mad Dog McCree intros to the categories and top ten was unexpected and hilarious. I love it when these guys absolutely nail it.
 
Kinzie got robbed.
And no one even mentioning Deus Ex in anything, predictable but still disappointing.
I just finished the podcast. I didn't mind Deus Ex not being in most of the categories, but oh man, how can they not even mentioned it for best soundtrack? I think the Bastion soundtrack is better but at least give it a nod.

Great podcast btw, now to watch some videos!
 
Jesus, Vinny makes a joke in the podcast that is maybe the best Vinny moment I've ever experienced.

Let's talk about Rucks... baby, let's talk about you and me
 
SR3 is better on PS3? Bizarre.
That was the first I've heard of this. Hadn't really been paying attention to platform comparisons though.

Awesome video production. Vinny is really skilled for a head residing inside a television.
 
Not saying he should win, or even be a final nominee, but not a single mention of Andre Bishop for best new character? I thought it was a pretty interesting move and a significant idea for sports games. The fact that he's also a good character is just a bonus.

Making me laugh way too much.

Yea Vinny's face is hilarious and he's looking right at the viewer.
 
I feel like I should probably beat Saints Row 3 before I listen to the rest of these podcasts. I had to skip so much of the discussion today because I only just purchased SR3 two days ago.

Yea, go in blind and be amazed. That's what I did.
