Can we put this post at the top of the page, so that people can read this and understand? Before the topic gets flooded with "NO SC2?! THIS LIST SUCKS!"Delusibeta said:
Mass Effect 2 Nabs Golden Joystick Ultimate Game of the Year Award
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
Confirmation: Starcraft 2 missed the boat for this year. By quite a bit, too.

I recommend amending the article accordingly to prevent any raging about SC2's no-show, when it's going to turn up next year.
Also, nice to note that the Zynga Zurg doesn't have quite the teeth it's used to: Farmville "only" placed third on the Online Game catagory.
Since you have to get on the longlist before you get on the nomination list, it explains why Starcraft 2 was a no-show.

You have 90% of the trophies. Of course the soundtrack would grate on you at that point.s69-5 said:
I listened to it outside of the game. Because once I tried fishing in the game...I just stopped. Just picked it up again, today, though. For the PS3 this time, since I got it for cheap.
they are working on a new MMO set in the future.Deofuta said:

My favourite game of this console generation wins game of the year? Finally Britain doesn't disapoint me.
I think those were good choices except for PvZ winning Strategy Game of the Year. I love PvZ a whole huggy bunch but I don't think it should have won that.
Ugh..
Plants vs. Zombies didn't deserve anything at all, let alone beating SC2 for Strategy. (I don't know which is worse- SC2 not being nominated, or SC2 being nominated then losing to PvZ)
Black Ops should've been beaten by Portal 2, (which wasn't even nominated- either it's not planned for release there or these people are sad, ignorant, or stupid) Galaxy, Zelda, or pretty much anything else on that list.
Jagex....do they even do anything other than Runescape? (The game is boring, takes 0 skill or strategy, and the people that play it are mostly illiterate assholes that rip on low level players even though they deserve more respect than the level cappers.)
Overall, it's easy to tell how the steriotypical uncultured masses run the show. The nominees are dissapointing and lacking, and the large majority of the people that voted are most likely flash gamers that have never played more than 1 nominee, if that, from each category. ME2 and AC2 are the least dissapointing of the lot.

It was voted for by the public, and considering how often they normally fuck up I think this went pretty well. and SC2 wasn't eligible for this yearElectrogecko said:
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. It wouldn't even be that bad if the other's weren't so good. I think Metro should have won, just based on the scene where a refugee plays the acoustic guitar. Just so much emotion there. I can't really describe it in any more detail, play the game. I think that scene is the best scene in a videogame this year. Yes, even better than the Jacob romance scene in Mass Effect 2 (but the priiize does get pretty close).Magners said:
I honestly wouldn't be able to choose between ME2 and Demon's souls. While neither is a perfect game, they're both amazing RPGs that to work with opposite elements of the RPG genre.s69-5 said:
ME worked with a lot more character and story while DS worked on gameplay elements, such as boss fights, the battle system, and loot, and building up from a rough start to a true hero. Both of them had amazing design work with both backgrounds, creatures, and items though, and both of them were definitely games that were worth full price, a rare feat these days.
