Left 4 Dead was shallow and boring. I'd say the poll's fine how it is now with the "other" option. You don't have many X360 exclusives up there but that's what it gets for being too much like a pc(as far as games go that is).

You're right, the game's so shallow and so boring that been getting awards left and right. Anyways, your blatant fanboyism reminded me of fable 2. Peter Molyneux sophomore attempt nailed down the vision he tried so hard to get in the first. It's also pretty swell co-op game, and is well supported already through dlc. A good, pretty, fun lengthy adventure. Classy game indeed.
Don't that just look oh so tasty?

You seem to fit the fanboy description a lot more than me by thinking it's such a great game based on all the awards it got, and since I think different, I am completely wrong :wink:

My vote goes out to Braid.

Fallout and GTA I enjoyed, but not enough to finish them. Same goes for Braid. I definitely got a kick out of Mirror's Edge and L4D, with ME probably my favorite "full" game this year, but I think I got more fun out of my downloads than anything. MM9 and Galaga Legions were brilliant, and the one I found myself playing and enjoying the most was N+.
