The TSA needs a way to screen for this kinda behavior, instead of checking to see if there's a bomb in my ass. BECAUSE MAYBE MINORITY REPORT WAS RIGHT.
@Nexus6: Yeah, it's really not an improvement over the core mechanics established in Call of Duty 4, it's just polished and refined those mechanics, specifically as they were seen in Modern Warfare 2. Black Ops could easily be Game of The Month for November, or maybe even Game of the Quarter for the last 3 months of 2010, but not Game of The Year 2010.
@Type R: Or an innocent bystander, these chases don't take place on closed courses or HollyWood sets so cops have to assume that anything other than a direct hit to the suspect's vehicle could damage or injure pedestrians, public and private property, or the occupants of the suspect's vehicle (since they couldn't have known whether or not there were hostages inside, and in most cases the cops can't just open fire on someone for stealing a car). And there's no way in hell your typical Ohio state trooper is going to have the firearms training necessary to even pull that kind of a shot off - from a moving vehicle - consistently.
@Faux Bravo: Yeah, I pointed that out, but I considered fudging it and allowing the Alpha to be considered a 2010 game because of all the progress it's made this year alone.
You should drop Black Ops (which was good, but not quite GOTY good), and pick something else. Maybe a non-HD title? I'd suggest Minecraft, but then I remember it hasn't really been released yet. Maybe fudge it and count Alpha mode, comprising the Infdev and SMP additions - which were released in 2010. Those two alone completely overhauled and reshaped the game. Or maybe Super Mario Galaxy 2. I mean, there's a fucking classic. Sure it was missing the mega-cute, mega-sad story of the original, but that was tacked-on to begin with and was never really integral to the game itself; while the sequel pulled a "Lost Levels" by ditching all the story and simply reveling hedonistically in fantastic platformer design. Or maybe Super Scribblenauts, that lovely little two-of-a-kind platformer that damn near everyone with a soul fell in love with? There's a that's certainly more notable than this year's Call of Duty installment. Or maybe Epic Citadel / Infinity Blade for the technical accomplishment alone? Even big names like Call of Duty, The Sims, and GameLoft can't squeeze that much pomp and polish out of a cellphone-based hardware platform.
Or just something different. I mean, you guys did a pretty good enough job of keeping the genres varied, but there's 3 shooters up there out of 4 games. And 2 of the 4 are anual installments. And all 4 are sequels or reboots! Where's the newness? The creativity? The standout titles that moved mountains instead of units; that [poetic imagery] instead of [metaphysical comparison]?
@Spiders88: Funny, I thought that, too. Maybe the Chaos Marine took it from him to begin with? And that's why he was walking into the room all broody-like to begin with. He was all, "Alright, which one of you candy-ass, false-idol-worshipping motherfuckers done took my gun?!" And then he found out who it was, and took steps to remedy the situation.
Eugh, who did the modeling for that game? Frank West's head looks way to small from the back (where you'll spend most of your time looking at it), and what's with that shopping cart? Wickedly disproportionate, even for a cart you'd find in the mall.
