Brad will argue for Bastion, I can't wait.
I really hope Portal 2 takes it though, if that game had been released in November I think it would be on a lot more lists.

I have no idea... im a little frustrated at this. The category, is inconsequential so i dont really care.
I think saying "This game is too good to be considered for this category" is kind of recognizing it as an outstanding game.

True. You don't get the satisfaction of it actually winning, though.

Did you listen to the conversation? Very weird and specific criteria. Witcher didn't win because it was too good.
Do you understand what the category means? It's not about the best eastern bloc game, it's about which one felt the most easterny...

Oh yeah that's a real good point. I didn't think about that.
Pretty sure the main reason was he thought it was too hard.
And thus he couldn't get very far in it.

I get the impression that your enjoyment of Saint Row 3 comes down to whether or not the humor clicks with you. I couldn't name a sublime song if I tried and didn't watch wrestling as a kid so I passed on it (at least at full price)
I maintain Cargo over Two Worlds II is the true oversight of this catagory. The whole award felt rushed, they didn't even give him a chair during the podcast! Whats he so busy doing anyway, I demand more Dave! (and Drew)
I hope the Drew's Western Europe GOTY is given today with the Matt Kessler Japan GOTY given Wednesday

More or less why Catherine and a few of my other favorite titles of the year won't see almost any praise.
Kind of funny/sad that Kessler is GiantBomb's "Japan" expert.
EDIT: Speaking of which, how are the intern goty discussion videos?

Man, Ryan and Brad's LA Noir talk is bringing me round on it, not as my GOTY, but certainly in the top 10.
it got a lot of backlash but I thought it was a great experience.

So far they've only talked about the good aspects and not the other 75% of the game, I feel.

Come back when it's a podcast about videogams.
fixed, and frankly I'm outraged at the methodology on display! >:I
I heard they are hiding a narc in that place. I don't like it.

Nothing to worry about, someone shot the stool-pigeon. I saw it on video, it was pretty gnarly.

Can I just say tested is really letting me down on the end of the year stuff. No campy FMV intros or anything, just Will, Norm and Gary standing there (and not one of them is on a TV!)
They could learn a thing or two from this giantbomb-dot-com site that rudds fellow is pimping

Maybe I didn't download them last year because I assumed the same thing 
They've put so much work into this shit. Puts every other site to shame.

Skylander of the year! I love you giantbomb
I've been watching the Classic Game Room skylanders videos and they have been selling me on the game. I'll probably pick it up soon and it just might be my 2012 2011's GOTY

STILL LOL'ing here !!!
:'DHe gave the original Dead Space a perfect score a few years ago too, and I found that game to be flawed in a number of areas. I love his writing and hearing him talking about his experiences with games, but there are times when I wish he would be a bit more critical towards certain aspects that a games attempts to offer.He gave it 5 stars
Disappointed Two Worlds 2 didn't get any love. IMO, it's by far the most pleasantly surprising title over the last several years, especially considering it's dreadful pedigree.
Honestly, it's really no different from SR3, as both titles are 'back door' franchises looking to capitalize on big brother. TW2 was a great experience (on 360) and offered 50-60 hours of RPG goodness.
