@bonander Trust me, there is more than that in Journey, is something it needs to be experienced to be able to appreciate, it could be 15 hours long and it would still be amazing...then again and this is another reason i'm not completely sold on the award is that it can be a pretty niche game, Journey is definitely nor for everyone.
I'm not entirely agree with the winner...and i freaking love Journey, however i can see their points and i can agree with some of them, i mean Journey is nothing like we've seen before and i bet it will take years for us to experience something similar personally, i have to mention the music, God the music, sure everyone talks about storytelling and stuff but for me the music was on a whole different level and it really made Journey something special for me.
Anyway, like i said i love Journey but i don't think it deserves the award because even if it is amazing and memorable, i think it also lacks some stuffs that are essential to a Video Game, some features that makes Video Games to stand out above other forms of entertainment, and i'm not talking about killing or a score, but things like losing, IMO losing is a big part of any video game, well, at least that's why i think, and again i'm not 100% agree but at the same time i cannot say it was an entirely bad choice.
Wow, no AC3 nor Far Cry 3? Interesting but also a good move by GS by putting some other games like Journey, i have to say that i would love to see Journey winning, it is really that good even if it is more of an experience than a game...anyway, i have the feeling is between Mass Effect 3 or Dishonored, both choices would be pretty good, in fact this is probably one of the few years where i truly think that any choice will be ok, yes, even Halo 4.
Spelunky could take it, but like McShea said, never bet against Nintendo, specially with GS claiming that New Super Mario Bros WiiU is the best 2D Mario since Super Mario World, i think it will be a close one but Super Mario will take it.
