This here is just a poll of the 5 runners up of the Best Picture award for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, aka the Oscars.

Please vote, and explain briefly (if you want to) why you picked that one!

I would have done all ten, but sadly polls can only have 5 results, which kinda sucks.

If you want to vote for another movie, please just post your opinion, and explain why.

@RECON64bit Uhh... dude

The graphics look fine. Great, even. Seriously. Have you even played the game? The game looks perfectly fine! In fact, they have some of the best graphics on the Wii! The lighting, the glass effects, the bullets, the enemy skins and the rain and the motion blur and such all look great.

For instance....

That looks great. Fantastic, even, for the Wii.

These are some of the best graphics for Gamecube, from Metroid Prime:

Notice the improvement. And for your frankly inobservant observations about the graphics looking like the N64, here are some N64 graphics of the original Goldeneye:

Notice the graphical difference, and the change in fidelity.

I dare you to tell me the new graphics look that crappy.

Oh, and yes, the split-screen looks bad because the Wii isn't powerful enough to run it on max graphics and physics and have 4 guys playing at once.... I must admit the graphics do look quite bad there, but still not as bad as the Gamecube.

Those annoying guys in Devil May Cry 3 that are "angels" with demon skulls for torsos.

Yes, you read that right.

You take on like 3 or 4 in the beginning of chapter 15, and I KEPT ON DYING. So frustrating...

Then again, I DID play the original PS2 one.

Besides that, trolls who play multiplayer =.=

Also, Alma from F.E.A.R is evil. She's not an enemy per se, but she IS designed to creep the heck out of you, which she did successfully on me.

The Iron Maidens from Resident Evil 4, and the regenerators. Man, those guys were annoying... and the chainsaw-leatherface guy was annoying as well.

And the Flood.

Oh, and EVERY ENEMY IN DEAD SPACE.....

And Bioshock's Big Daddys. The ones that can lunge at you from like half-way across the map.

SUPER MEAT BOY TAKES ALL

I could NOT stop playing it... too much fun.

Some of the most addicting platforming in any game, ever.

Today, I read through the Readers' Choice awards and I really honestly think that it's just a battle of fanboy-ism. Not to be accusing of anyone here, but I was actually rather surprised at some of the choices for Readers' Choice and I think I can be pretty sure that it really has just degenerated into "I like this game and every other game - yes, the games that got awarded 9.0's or above - sucks and they can all go die so i'll vote for that game i like."

For instance, (i don't want any flak for this, i'm really just expressing an opinion) the best shooter award went to Call of Duty: Black Ops. Now, I know how many Call of Duty players are going to tell me that I suck and that I'm 40 and i still live with my mother (even though I'm actually still a teen), but really - think this through. What was it about Call of Duty: Black Ops that warranted it getting the Shooter of the Year award? The gameplay is still great for sure but we've seen the same thing for how many times? The storyline was great, but does that really make the shooter? The graphics were ok, but they don't make the shooter! The co-op zombie killing is fun as heck but is it truly great? I cannot deny that the competitive multiplayer is tons of fun, because it is, but does that really, truly, make it GREAT?

And games like Vanquish - they were truly amazing! Vanquish was so utterly original and fantastic that its difficult to see why it didn't win! Why didn't it? NO ONE PLAYED IT THAT'S WHY. So it all comes down to a sort of popularity contest or fanboy war.

When I went and looked through the list of accolades Call of Duty: Black Ops received, I noticed how it got nominated for "best Wii game". I was interested, so I clicked.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 won with a whopping 52%, but the second place winner for Readers Choice was... Call of Duty Black Ops, with 13% of the vote. Coincidence?

And in "Most Improved Sequel", I cannot deny that RDR was the best choice there, but what about Red Steel 2? Shouldn't that get some recognition? I mean, it was WAY better than the original, but it barely even got recognized because it sold rather poorly. Again, this makes it feel more like a popularity contest than anything else.

In many of the posts I read of Shooter of the Year, I saw things like "At least Halo didn't win" or "READERS WRONG AGAIN". This feels like the people who posted them had no reason whatsoever to post it, but simply hated the game so much they felt like posting something like that. Next time, please give reasons for why you don't like games!

I really don't know what to say... Readers Choice seems to be more and morel like a popularity contest or a fanboy war.

What do you guys think?

Frankly, I doubt you will. The Witcher - the original one, that is - is very different from the new one, according to previews. The combat is totally revamped, the engine looks improved, and the script - oh gosh, the script - hopefully will be better.

You'll still do well to play the original, since it's awesome. It has great gameplay, and it's really moody. However, it's also very different from the new one, so...

Alright, thank you all for your comments (except for those who were rather rude). I've decided to reinstall Half Life 2 to give it another go, so thank you all for your contributions! I'll try to get to the parts with the super gravity gun, and to enjoy the game as an experience than as a game. :)

I found that Halo Reach's storyline was simple, easy-to-follow, and, most of all, meaningful and intense. It had a good storyline that ramped up from seemingly small scale to an all-out, desperate last stand for humanity that was easy to follow and highly entertaining.

I also liked Bioshock's storyline; it was brilliant, disturbing, and very dark.

Call of Duty: Black Ops had a great storyline, both mysterious and intense. It was remarkably well done and I liked it a lot.

Freespace 2 had a very good and intense storyline, that drew you in and kept you guessing.

Half Life 2 had a very well presented storyline, but not a particularly good one....

Honorable Mentions:

1. Halo: Combat Evolved had a good storyline; the plot twist in the middle featuring what Halo contained was nice (but terrible gameplay wise)

2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare had a well-told storyline that wasn't ridiculous, and actually was pretty darn good.
