Tropico 3

Ghostbusters

Torchlight

It is a sad commentary about the games and reasons selected for most innovative. Game innovation is virtually nonexistent, so we make up reasons to call a game innovative.

I can agree that Uncharted 2 deserves each spot on every list it is on. I'm a pc gamer at heart, but I give credit where credit is due.

I like G4. I don't necessarily agree with all their reviews, but I don't agree with all reviews anywhere. Attack of the Show! is an awesome show.

Terrible Terrible nominations.

Infamous, Assassins Creed2 and Borderlands are not GOTY contendars imo (Where is Dragon Age, Batman or Forza3?)

a) Borderlands is on there way too much for things it shouldn't be on there for b) Where is Dragon Age: Origins? That should be a no brainer for Best Writing and Best Game nominee c) I haven't trusted G4 since they destroyed Tech TV. They don't represent gamers to me, they represent companies.carlosjuero

Networks are companies. :roll:

I understand feeling like they don't represent gamers though. I agree.
