Thanks so much!

Just as you might want to play Fable 3 before Fable 2, or play Fallout New Vegas before Fallout 3, I should have listened to this CAGcast before the other GOTY podcasts.

Because shipwreck is the only one that really plays enough games, the exhaustive list of various categories is too much. It'd be too much for me, too. I play enough games to pick my 10 favorites, but that's about it. All the subcategories don't really work.

Cheapy and wombat are great to listen to as regular gamers. But regular gamers can't realistically have such specific favorites; they just don't play enough to justify any decisions.

I think a more general discussion of favorite games would be more meaningful than the small little categories that are discussed here. It doesn't make sense for Cheapy to have a favorite DS or Wii game, so I'm glad he didn't really try. And if Wombat has to think that hard on the PSP category, it's probably not needed, either.

All in all, it just seems a little forced to have all the detailed categories when, instead, just top 5 or 10 favorites and ensuing discussion would have sufficed.

Cheapy,

Tron is in Tron Legacy.

Tron is Rinzler

Props to Cheapy for recognizing Daredevil: The Director's Cut as a good movie. It really is much better than the theatrical cut. If you like comic book movies you should really give Daredevil another chance and check it out. It is pretty cheap.

@Wombat- Kingpin has always been a large man, however he isn't really fat, and is no where near Jabba the hut's level. With opinion's of the movie aside Michael Clarke Duncan completely fit the role of the Kingpin IMO.

At least three times as wide as MCD, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(comics). I know it's not actually "fat" but no one wants me to over talk the Kingpin on the show.

True True, but I don't think it would be possible to have the Kingpin any larger and not have him look ridiculous like the Blob in the Wolverine Movie.

Yup, DD Director's Cut is great. WAY better than the theatrical. They even changed some story bits which I won't spoil that made the movie better. Check it out Ship.

I need to try Metroid: Other M again. I didn't like what I played of it although I gave up after about 2 hours. I've actually had a lot of fun on the Wii this year: Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns and a couple of others - and I hate my Wii.

I see you guys have kind of struggling with putting games into categories when doing the show. What if next year you do your regular platform favorites (Wii, PS3, 360, Multi, etc), and then just throw whatever wasn't mentioned into a list of "Honorable Mentions"? Sort of how like Joystiq does it.

Some of the 360 games mentioned weren't exclusives because they had PC releases. Of course, that would make the award categories even more complicated. I beat Limbo recently when it was onsale for $10, and I'm going to have to agree with Wombat and Shipwreck. Limbo felt more like an interactive art project.

another show to use as background noise while internet browsing.

you guys should also make an actual list so we can recall what games your you 2010 picks. I'm surprised there were no Monday Night Combat or Epic Mickey talks.

Found myself agreeing with a lot of cheapy's sentiments during this show.

Definitely liked Limbo a lot, but felt it was overrated. Though I'll defend it quite a bit more than a lot of other people.

Liked RDR a lot, but also grew tired of the annoying interactions with characters in cut scenes. While it was one of the better games of the year, i was pretty relieved to beat the game so i was done playing it. I also had the exact same feeling with the Undead Nightmare extra, which i got as a standalone recently.

Felt the DLC for Alan Wake added nothing to, and possibly detracted from, my overall enjoyment of the game.

I can't speak for MNC but Epic Mickey was not good, IMO.

You guys still have a problem with your download picks: super meat boy is not XBLA exclusive as it is also available for windows and mac. The bigger problem is that it's hard to define a download platform exclusive since many of the games are released cross platform, but not at the same time. Just group all downloads together and specify the version you played when making your pick.

Mass Effect 2 is available on PC as well, and thus not an Xbox exclusive. Just because you guys don't play PC games doesn't mean they don't exist.

... and to those saying comic jumper was the best download game last year you are correct.

This.....other than that great show

We meant say console exclusive, also get over it.

I also liked A Single Man, great performances and a movie that really captured its era.

Also, like CheapyD, No Homo.

The 2011 Wombat ain't taking shit.

agree. The categories were a mess and incoherent. I wouldn't even bother with any platforms as you mostly only play one. (Aside, Cheapy's Wii jokes are beyond old).

I don't really even care about "winners" either. It is far more interesting to hear what you liked and why.
