This summed up the year pretty well. Mario Kart and indies being the only pre-Fall games that mattered in the long term.

hey remember when Watch Dogs was the biggest game of the year. I do, so that's one person at least.

Bayonetta 2 lost....

Which is okay because Dragon Age and Shadow of Mordor deserved it much more.

TBH, I was expecting Dark Souls to take home the award. From a review standpoint DA and Shadow of Mordor didn't get the overwhelmingly positive reception Dark Souls 2 did.

But I have a hunch as to why they did it. To me, this seems like the Game Industry's attempt to get more serious recognition with a more formal awards ceremony. A big industry draw of an awards show at all is to encourage a certain type of quality game around winter time. So the picked the most recent release.

Dark Souls 2 was too similar to the first two games, and I expect Bloodborne will have this problem as well.
Bayonetta 2 is similar but its also far two niche, its in their for diversity.
Hearthstone really shouldn't be on the list but thats' just me.

Shadows of Mordor and Dragon Age were the two contenders and Dragon Age is a much better game than Mordor.

WAT!

I think Hearthstone kind of deserves to be there and I'm happy that in 2014, a card game can still be considered one of the best pieces of entertainment of the year. It's a great accomplishment.

And Inquisition had that on lock down when you really think of it. It's a phenomenal example of innovation within a series, plus a huge emphasis on story, characters, and player choice, yeah, of course it won.

So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.

Yeah, that game looked awesome. I haven't yet paid for a game on tablet, but that may change since I found out about this.

Yeah, it's great! I'm not usually into mobile games, but this game is a very charming puzzle game. I'm so glad it was a nominee for both best mobile and best indie!

I think I only have one time before. I looked up the game and it looks like any sales right now until the 8th go to fight AIDS. That's really nice of the developers. I think I'm going to go ahead and pick it up tomorrow. Now it's just a matter of what to download it on. It was made for iPads but I'd rather have it on my phone.

Does anyone know what's up with the psn flash sale they mentioned at the awards? He said "this weekend", but the weekend is halfway over already. Has there ever been a flash sale that started on a Sunday?
