And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Can you post the ""50 hot games for 2008?"

and isn't it a bit late for the "best of 2007" lists? I thought we've been through those a few months ago.

OXM can't see the difference anyway so it doesn't really matter. It would have scored a 5.0 even it was identical to the best DW + HD graphics of course.

Rock Band is the game of the year every year. There is no need to include it on a GOTY list as it is always implied that the GOTY is simply a runner-up to Rock Band.

Don't agree much with alot of the scores, except Space Giraffe. Terrible game. I downloaded frogger instead.

Is OXM from Microsoft? That might explain Undertow GOTY . . . "Hey, we gave you the game of they year as compensation. Now shut up you whiners!" :D

In case anyone was wondering, OXM played L4D on PC because it was to early and unbalanced on 360.

Hmmm, more Jade Empire rumors. Wasn't a huge fan of the first one but I enjoyed it, and can't wait to see how it is. If its multiplatform thats cool as well.

This is true!
Should I try Exit? It came out when I was preoccupied with a million other games. I've been ordered to bedrest for the next two days and am looking for some new games to play (that don't require me having to leave the house, obviously).

Do you like stiff, cumbersome controls? If so, you'll LOVE Exit. :(

Yeah, the controls are frustrating. I still like the game, even if I have to take it in bitesize pieces so I don't smash my controller to bits.
