As we have found out, Yahtzee will make his picks apparently on

Character of the year
Rock game of the year
console of the year

Here are my predictions, and I am willing to bet they are accurate

Glados from Portal(being the Valve fag that he is)
Rock Band(since that was like the only other one this year besides GH3 which he didnt like)
Either PC or XB360(since he played most of the games there)

He liked pyschonauts, and COD4 as well, so he might pick from there too (I can't really pick seeing as I've never played pyschonauts or portal)
Agree on Rock band call
I vote for PC, mostly cause it's badass, the people who play using it are intelligent (guess wat? u can't write an essay on an xbox360), and cause most of the games requiring any sort of thought process show up on the PC (Halo3 is not on the PC)

Did you just say people playing PCs are intelligent? Like.. all people on PCs?
Have you played even one game of Counterstrike? Ever?
The reason those kinds of games appear on PC is because either they're too complicated/incompatible for the console, and the vast majority of the good ones are not exclusive to PC. I think Yahtzee would prefer Xbox360, personally. Though I must admit I'm biased... :p

Rock Band yeah. But about Psychonauts, CoD4 and Portal... I think he'll go for Glados, because the characters in CoD4 practically didn't exist, and your teammates were weird... And in Psychonauts, personally I found the main character irritating, and since Yahtzee's standards for a good character seem higher than mine, it'd probably be worse for him.

I agree with all on the glados count
Gane if the year: Uhm... Orange box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He rated it one step below jesus for god's sake! Those are pretty tough standards, even coming from a jew.....

Pc or xbox.. I know he loves PC but bioshock was really the onyl title that can really stand out among the greats, besides O.B. of course

I suppose that's true, but the Xbox is basically a PC anyway. Made by the same company... has better specs than my compy :p

If you're going to say somthing like that, it's best not to follow it up with

Your post hurts my head.

Anyways, back on topic, I'm going with

Character- Wrex from Mass Effect (funny as hell)

Rock game- Rock Band (for the reasons stated above by the OP)

Console- Wii (dont get me wrong, I love my 360, but the Wii is the most innovative console no doubt about it)

As for you computer gamers, a pc is not a console, so that takes it out of the running for CotY. But dont worry, I'm sure it will win plenty more awards. Just not that one.

I personally find it funny that Yahtzee actually has to say the things he likes despite the fan criticism for him to wittingly mock games and game characters rather that admit he likes them. But with my lack of participation in my favorite past-time I cant even guess who will get the award especially with so many characters created or remade.

But i'll have to agree with the topic creator that Rockband and the XBOX360 will probably win those two categories because the game selection for the 360 is massive compared to the Wii(my personal favorite) or the PS3. As for Rockband the game really took the next step in "simon" games involving multiple people at the same time while giving them different intruments. Although I am personally horrible at those games I still appreciate that now multiple people can get in on the fun as a group and not as a competition or waiting for each others turn.

Best character however I'll have to guess Mario, I mean it is mario
He hates Mario. Look at some of mario's reviews

So thinking Valve has made some of the best shooters ever makes you a "Valve fag"?

I take offense at that.

Character: Another vote for GLaDOS
Rock game: Rock Band (Yahtzee LOOKS like a drummer)
Console: PC

Also, to anyone who said Psychonauts;

IT WAS RELEASED IN 2005

Yeah, it's the most interesting console but there's nothing on it thats any good apart from Nintendo staples eg. Mario, Zelda, Metroid. Zack and wiki looks cool, but theres really not enough games on the platform to justify it being the best for games this year. Next year will probably be different.

Agree with you on one thing though - Pc would win, if it were a games console. But it's not!

Anyway:

Character: Glados/Andrew Ryan (Probably Glados, but this thread needs more variation.)
Rock Game: Rock Band
Console: Xbox 360 (Best internet support, best variety of accomplished games, best not-pc-gaming-platform).
Best Game: Orange Box/Bioshock.

Maybe I'm cheating by putting in two options but... hang on, I don't care! :p

Just to clear this up, I never said I thought PC would win. My hatred for PC gaming and gamers knows no bounds. "Whats that PC gamer? You say your game is more innovative/fun/good looking then the 360 games? Well Mr. PC gamer, that may be true, but at least with my 360 I dont need to pay the clerk in major limbs just to pay for my console. Besides, most of those games will be out in a year or two on my console anyways. so stick THAT in your fancy hard-drive".

Also, welcome back MGG. We (kinda) missed you. Hows the website working out?
