Story - BS1 wins of course, but I can't help but feel that it's superb story would have been better suited for a novel or film.

I couldn't disagree more. I think a video game was the perfect medium for Bioshock's story because the "Would you kindly?" twist might have been surprising in a novel or film, but it couldn't have had the same effect as in a video game. I don't know about you, but I was blown away when I found out that I was just a pawn for the villain. Because I had been actively playing the role of Jack, and not just reading about him or watching him, I felt like I really really him and that I really had just discovered I had no free will. Plus, part of the story is that you have to make the choice of saving the Little Sisters or harvesting them, and you can't really incorporate choices into novels or films.

The credits GTA IV must've been at least 20 minutes long.

A couple weeks ago, when I finally got LoZ: Minish Cap. I wish I had played that sooner, it was really good.

Mass Effect 2 is multi-platform, so presumably it's the 360 version that's nominated for Game of the Year.

Strategy guides usually contain a lot of errors, so I'd say save your money and use the internet.

inFamous is a lot better, although I wouldn't say FFXIII is bad. And while the side missions in inFamous can get repetitive, I don't think the main storyline is as bad as Assassin's Creed.

For me, I'd say it's more like 66% gaming, 33% streaming movies or tv shows through Netflix, and 1% browsing the Playstation store.

I think my first was 9 (might've been 8, though), and I loved it. XIII is a good game, but it is nothing compared to 7-10.

I thought of another one: Pikmin. Yeah, Nintendo said they're working on #3, but we've never seen so much as a screenshot.

Runescape and Ragnarok Online. I've said at least three times that I will never play RO again, and I hope I never have to say it again...
