Description

Mike and Dave go over the VGAs yet again and open up the year with a retrospective over the titles that came out last year.  They also provide a bit of commentary on what they're excited to see this coming year.  Also, there's a surprise!  Here's the notes for this podcast.



  • Game of the Year.  They got it right.

  • Debate over the best character.  Joker versus Wheatley.

  • A run down of the best of {system} and best of {genre}.

    • Interesting notes: 

      • Best of PC. (Winner: Portal 2.)

      • Best Shooter... MW3?  Really?  Well, they had to give it something.

      • Best of RPG. (Winner: Skyrim.)  But still a good competition.

      • Best Multiplayer - Portal 2.  Yes, MW3.  Suck it.

      • Best Fighter. (Winner: Mortal Kombat).

      • Best Motion Game (Winner: Skyward Sword) Should SS even count?

  • Our opinions and views on best song, best score, best performances, most anticipated, and best graphics.

    • Best Graphics: Is this even a legitimate category?

    • Most Anticipated Game: Our analysis of the nominees and winner.

      • We also proclaim our love for Ken Levine and how we'll be his slaves.

  • (( To view a listen of winners and nominees for each category. Click here. ))

    • Our hopes and aspirations for games and the gaming industry in 2012.

    • Check out the Penny Arcade website for the rundown of the Oceans Marketing scandal.
