What a day to finally celebrate this victory, now I have a true reason for beating Mass Effect early not to mention. That now I can finally score it with Ashley without that rat keeping an eye on us... Happy Holiday
Yeah I don't think he will get in the way of us again +8 Renegade.

again, NY times is not a credible gaming outlet... Just like Time magazine... NY Times is news for dummies with their big letters and dumbed down picture graphs lol...

I agree. What in the world does the NY Times know about video games?
Mass Effect is a good game, but the NY Times has absolutely no place naming a game of the year. They can't even print a real story that isn't completely full of lies.

Maybe the NY times didnt enjoy the "Go and get me tha-ooowwww too late dead. But go through my stuff you find the item you need to get to that locked area". I know I did.

It's tough to pick a GOTY, and best of all time, etc, from a personal perspective.
If you are talking about how much time I will spend playing it, how long it will keep me interested, then Mass Effect is right up there with Oblivion as best games of all time.
If you are picking based on, what was totally different than anyone else was doing, and was great at what it intended to be, then I go towards Bioshock. Bioshock was a great story, and it flowed well, which is good and bad. I prefer my games open ended, so in the end, I would have to pick Mass Effect as GOTY, as much as I loved Bioshock.
Last but not least, Halo 3 is fantastic for what it is. The story is good, not told as well as Bioshock or Mass Effect, but the story is good. The multiplayer is the best on Xbox 360 IMHO, and for that, I give it a strong nod.

Yeah I was wandering why did EVERYBODY recently started bashing Halo 3 for what it is. Halo 3 is a pretty simple shooter with an incredible multiplayer and it fully deserves a GOTY too!

I agree, Halo 3 definitely deserves it but because of stupid haters it is treated unfairly. Halo 3 is the most complete game out there.

I've bitched about it before. But, undoubtedly a good game - just too short ... and ONE city in space? Come on... I was disappointed - however, it did get me excited about going back and playing Oblivion. Its refreshing after all the Haloz and COD4age. IMO Bioshock is the winner here. Damn liberal media.

I found ME disappointing, but it's still a decent game. I can't complain about people liking it more lol.

I am glad to see Mass Effect get game of the year awards from somebody.
I am also personally not the least bit interested in BioShock... I thought the demo sucked.

I think the Bioshcok demo is the greatest demo of all time. There hasn't been a demo in video game history that establishes a detailed introduction to a wonderful storyline like the Bioshock demo did. You are one hard man to please. You must have a time machine and seen first hand what the future of gaming holds to feel the Bioshock demo sucked...yeesh.

I played the Bioshock demo for exactly 2 minutes before I decided to quit because it was obviously a masterpiece and I didn't want to spoil anything.

The Bioshock demo was awesome, since the intro to the game is awesome, unfortunatly it doesn't stay as awesome, more scripted enemy events such as at the beginning of the game would have been great.

i actually liked the bioshock demo. bought the game, halfway through it got somewhat boring. the plasmids i got lost there wow factor, there were 2 puzzles that really seemed to use them but after that it was just a straight shooter. and that final boss?
yet to play ME. COD4 is much better multiplayer than Halo3 sorry. In the run button alone it beats it. The exp. system and the ability to call in air strikes only add to this.
