Hahaha, Nice! The Walking Dead the game is an incredibly good game.
For fans of the TV series of The Walking Dead! :D
I hope that Season 2 of The Walking Dead will come very soon!
Cept the TV series game isn't out yet, that is the comic series, course you probably know that ^_^
I agree with pretty much everything except for Best RPG.
The best rpg should have been Persona 4 Golden, Mass Effect 3 just doesn't deserve the best rpg title. It was a HUGE disappointment for long time fans like me.
And i totally agree with Half-Life 2 being the best game of the decade. Let the COD fanboys rage!
Gabe, give us Episode 3 now? PLEEEAAAASE????
In response to the ME3 being undeserving....There really wasn't a lot of competition. I agree that it wasn't great as an RPG(I still love the game, but it wasn't a good RPG), but it was up against things such as...Diablo 3...
So yes, I do think that ME3 is the best RPG of the 2012. RPGs just didn't get a lot of love in 2012 =(
The VGA's aren't as absolutely retarded as they usually have been. It's nice to see Call of Duty and Assassins Creed finally win nothing.
If only Mass Effect 3 didn't win anything, then this would be perfect.
(P.S. Dawnguard* & XCOM*)
Glad to see borderlands 2 won best shooter. Its a pretty fun game with lots of stuff to do.
I thought that Mass Effect 3 was going to be named something ;)
Thanks for list, Kark-Jocke:)
you're welcome ;)
