I would atleast have though one of the PSP's games would have been nominated for something. Its got a stellar line up this year.
No auto-aim or aim assist OPTION for the single player game = no buy from me. Im a father, got a full time job, full time friends and family with now time to learn2aim with a controller. Who loses out? not me, while i play bayonetta, GoW3, inFamous... naughty dog loses out on my $60 and a sale.
devs reading this?: AIM ASSIST/AUTO AIM OPTION FOR SINGLE PLAYER DOESN'T HURT ANYTHING!
the game is easy enough
why is puzzle mixed in with casual/social???
i dont see anything great about L4D2, isnt it the same thing, just a little upgrade?
and split/second?? disney is in on this, wtf
the rest is understandable i guess....kind of skeptical about scribblenauts...........and the PSP had a great lineup this year
The aim-assist is quite noticeable and will help some people.
I personally find that aim-assist and whatnot to be a nuisance, but it helps those who don't have the ability to aim properly.
Pure is from Disney game too and it's pretty awesome.
