... in this category: "One of the weird side effects of the recent and rapid mainstream acceptance of video games has been the proliferation of games that don't really qualify as games in the traditional sense. There are graphics, there is sound, and when you fiddle with the controller, stuff happens, but they're either missing the kinds of rules and objectives that typify a game experience, or they're more concerned with some highfalutin result beyond just entertainment. You can call them virtual worlds, you can call them interactive art, you call them functional entertainment software, but we prefer to just call them "games.""

It's "Game" of the year, i.e., the best non-games of the year.

I'd honestly give wii music the title over Home.

Home is one giant install, it's not an open virtual world when i have to install everytime i want to actually go to another area, or watch a trailer, anything. I finally downloaded home yesterday, 4 shirts, 4 pairs of trousers and that's about all you get..wtf. Apartment was interesting for 2 minutes then i decided to go out into the court yard like area and hit an install..wtf.

Then hit another install trying to get into the cinema, then ANOTHER install when i wanted to watch a bloody trailer.Sure there only 3-4 minutes long but it all adds up, very boring waste of time.

Knowing Jeff Gerstmann and his stupid, unfunny friends, they'll probably have another dumb category with something like, "Game of the Game-that-features-the-best-hamburger-&-hotdog." I'd say Giant Bomb is worse than IGN, which is saying a lot.

That's why they nominated Wii Fit for Wii GOTY. They just hate that ****ty "game". Shame on them for having opinions that differ from mine! They should have their heads shot off by a lion!

Quincying FTW. Wii Music sold around 300,000 copies..It'll do a half a mil total after Xmas.

What is "Quincying"?

Quincying is the art of absorbing spiritual energy and manipulating it for offensive puropses. It often takes the form of bows and arrows, but it isn't limited to this. It is different from "Shinigaming", "Hollowing", "Arrancaring", "Vaizarding" and "Espading" in that it involves no transformation of the user or of the weapon.

I guess standing on one foot or leaning froward/left/right has never been more "fun".

Btw, add R2, LBP and MGS4 to that list...

Why the hell would I say that? I don't even own Wii Fit or Wii Music, and I have absolutely no intention of getting them. Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, and Greg Kasavin suck at reviewing games. That's all there is to it.

Only 300k? Ouch. Maybe with wii music's sales Miyamoto will start making some games that will cater to the core gamers.

Yeah, I'm knocking Jeff Gerstmann because he hates Nintendo... You know, the guy who gave Ocarina of Time a 10 out of 10. :| And Greg Kasavin gave Metroid Prime a 9.7 out of 10, which was the highest score for six long years. Could it simply be because he's a... poor reviewer? Heaven's no! It can't be possible. :roll:

Greg Kasavin actually wrote rather informative and helpful reviews. It's a shame he's not doing that any longer. Seriously, how can you criticize something when you don't even know what it is you're criticizing? And for all your whining about Gerstmann, you've failed to explain why he's not a credible reviewer. What is a credible reviewer in the first place? You don't seem to know since you're saying Greg Kasavin sucked.
