    Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead Redemption have been dominating the game of the year awards. Hooray for quality games.

    I just love how people who hated ME2 seem convinced that everyone who liked it is involved in an attack on the RPG genre. If you don't like it, fine. I don't begrudge anyone their opinion, but ME2 has won awards because it deserves them.

    Yep, it's a massive conspiracy. It'd be completely ridiculous to believe that maybe the game is just actually really good...

    It's amazing what money can buy these days. Even Game of the Year. This sh-t hole game does not deserve that title and every gamer in the world knows is aware of that.

    I'd really like to thank all those brave video game journalists that spoke openly on this subject . Well, that was easy; I didn't have to thank anybody.

    Integrity and credibility is everything when it comes to any media reporting or journalism as a whole. When journalists fail to speak up and state the absolute truth, society as a whole truly suffers.

    Funny that ME2 won game of the year. This game isn't that great. You recruit people and then attempt the last mission and then that's it. What's so great in that. Also the storys lacking and everyone you talk to no matter what your decision is, says the samething for the most part. What's happening with rpgs now a days? Games like this and Fable just KILL the genre.
