There's quite a lot of loving Dust for the best story, Brad arguing the case for its heavy themes handled in a great way with that aesthetic that could've gone wrong. And also doing the amnesia trope well.

Is it "Dumbest Motion Controlled Moment" or "Dumbest Motion Controlled Moment"
I can't tell by the winner... maybe its both?

And to think, only a couple years ago Ryan was insisting
.
that no publisher would risk making a turn based tactical game again

Deliberations should be fun to listen to.

I'll take any excuse to watch Vinny play Sleeping Dogs.

Congrats to the amazing work everyone on the GB staff. The videos were incredibly fun to watch, and I think it really paid off.

Glad

Don't worry, the post is extremely inaccurate.

The Galaga machine makes Pac-Man sounds! It's sitcom perfect!
not to mention the screen was just Brad scrolling through menus, lol

I'm really enjoying the number 1 choice. Shame Dishonored never got its due - but oh well, Patrick seems to be the only one there who likes that style of game.
And #7-#10 on the overall list are pretty hilarious. They're all games that just one of the guys got obsessed with.

Giantbomb's Game of Year Moment of the Year:

Extremely surprised that FTL isn't on the list at all but Syndicate and Zombi U are.

I like to imagine that the motorcycles have helmet pez dispensers in the seat.

That top 10 is WEIRD.

That's why the individual top tens are more interesting. The mix of compromises and deals that go into the overall list because they haven't all played the games, make it kind of meaningless.

Top ten occupants aren't too surprising, but some of the order sure is.
Vinny playing through Sleeping Dogs should have been a premium feature.

Well, Brotherhood could be called the last great AC game, definitely still worth the time. It's a lot of fun and has the best expanded systems, before they became overdone and janky.
You'll still enjoy the gameplay in the Ezio's games at least. It's really fun and addictive. And of course the world is still fun to explore. Brohood has some really nice atmosphere.
BD is fantastic.

Man looking at the list it makes it real obvious Jeff has a strong influence on the final 10, I mean syndicate no.7...Really?! Only Jeff loved that game, the other's kinda appreciated it. Lol at it beaing sleeping dogs, mass effect 3 and zombi u. I hope Brad does some minerva's den style arguing again, it's what makes the goty podcast what it is, looking at the length i doubt it though.
highly recommend pad controls! Some Gaffers had no issues with kb/m but it was definitely made for pad controls, imo

What a bummer of a way to end Vinny's mission in the Sleeping Dogs part.
At least the outro was fantastic.
I love that Dave Lang starts his ME3 pick with "Mixed pride and shame," haha

Not to mention Asura's Wrath or FTL not even placing.
Syndicate is really damn good. The only bad parts are the boss fights and the story, and there isn't much of either. Nice that it gets its proppers somewhere.
Yeah holy shit I forgot about those two. 3 of the 4 really enjoyed asura's wrath and it didn't even chart, while syndicate did... No ftl makes zero sense too.
EDIT:
I appreciate it's strengths but as whole it isn't a strong enough contender for goty, it has some great co op but I don't see that being enough for it to hold it's own against no 8, 9 or 10.
I'm sure the argument Jeff made against asura's wrath was that you can enjoy it just as much just watching it on youtube, also the ending being dlc would have been a major hit so it's somewhat understandable that it was left off.
EDIT: Real happy with the top two, just as expected.

If you like what you see pretty early on, stop and buy it. If it doesn't interest you, I wouldn't blame you for not buying it.
I wasn't too sure I'd like it, but I was glad I took the chance on it. Had a great time with it, but I wouldn't spend too much on it.
Play the demo. On PSN and Live. If that doesn't excite you then feel free to watch it. But the QTES are well done. Feel like a badass.
