I was guessing your iPhone got stolen from that last remark. Guess not.
Incidentally, mine is somewhere in the mail between here and Philadelphia.

I figured on Rogue Warrior for the Non-starter award - or does a game have to actually be playable for it to qualify?
And yea, hey! Someone else mentioned that Borderlands was worth a goty mention, and I agree! Well, at least it's worth an honorable mention - it's production values certainly aren't anywhere near those of Bman:AA.

I was afraid to watch because i thought one of the few games i bought and liked this year were going to be on for a yahtzee award. I love the names though.
Well, if i was the devs for one of these games and i saw this, I would have a shirt made just to show off me game.

Really, for being the symbol of originality, those cheeseburger spiders start to be way too unoriginal overused =p
Saints Row 2 really is an amazing game and i agree completely with Yahtzee. It's a game that just wants you to have fun and places no restrictions whatsoever.
Does anyone else find it extremely ironic that after Yahtzee releases this, the Escapist posted an article about Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem, hinting that DNF my still be in production? I would love to see Yahtzee's opinion on this.
O yeah, is there anything I can do to help with this Michael Atkinson problem? I'm in America so it's not like I could vote against him, but if there's anything I can do to help, lemme know. What he's doing sounds so absurd. Good luck my Australian friends.

Speaking of Micheal Atkinson, I find it hard to believe that one man can fuck up gaming for an entire nation. Say doesn't the Australian ratings board charter say something about adults being able to view whatever they want? I seem to recall coming across something like that when doing research on it for a project last semester at college. Why hasn't someone shoved that in Atkinson's face? or better yet, down his throat?
That's an understatement. I still have hopes Back to the Future 2 gets proven right in some way. At least we have giant flatscreens for people to yell "MCFRY!" out of at us. Am quite happy that Star Trek chronology isn't going right so far. No Eugenics Wars of 1996. "KHAAAAANNN!" Though World War 3 I believe comes next soon...era81 said:
Anyway am glad Yahtzee made the effort for a 2009 awards though he had bupkiss to work with. About time he gave his point of view about Atkinson. Well deserved! And yes, Batman:Arkham Asylum is GOTY. MW2 only wins the Suckerpunch award, for taking the most money from the most suckers. HAH!
Michael Atkinson is a real tosser
but he is like the grinch of the gaming world but unfortunately his heart does not grow in the end.
and does anyone else get a little giggle that his last name has part of atkins in it? like the diet hope he hits the grave hard and fast

I totally agree with all the choices, even the Batman one, but for me the game that managed to keep me entertained then more then 6 hours on medium and/xor hard difficulty was Dragon Age Origins. I admit it, I love the game. As 38 planets and a few black holes aligned I actually spend money and not only bought the game but also the DLC that didn't came with my copy.

O yeah, I also played Borderlands a lot, kept me interested enough to enter playthrough 2 and LAN it, but I didn't buy it. So It's either just better or just not better then Barman
