Best developer Inifity Wards... the people who absolutely feckin broke their game on the PC.
GOTY for Uncharted 2?
Microsofts Natal? From my tests with it I found it to be nothing but laggy garbage, too much CPU goes into recognising gestures and theres no way the 360 can cut the 100ms lag. Maybe the next xbox but to be looking forward to Natal is quite surprising. I guess you guys haven't tried it.

"Eyes on 2010: Sony and Microsoft's motion controllers" Oh the irony, remember when the fanboys claimed motion controllers are nothing but a gimmick that doesnt work when the Wii was released? I sure as hell do, now they cant wait for their own gimmicky controllers? Pfft. Your all as bad as the people that ripped the piss out of Micheal Jackson for all those years yet suddenly gave a shit when he died.
Worst of 2009=QJ.net.
Its been a downhill slide.

All that list seems to be is whats popular. I really wonder if these guys played the bulk of the games released this year. The DS GOTY definitely is Order of Ecclesia. The only reason people don't know that is because Zelda was a bigger commercial hit and was advertised. And I play all Zelda games too...
I thought QJ was good because its so low key and unimportant. They don't go out and do their own journalism. This gives the impression they'd pick games for their quality, not follow the steps of every other gaming site who actually do get benefits from publishers for saying good things about them.

Unless these guys are writing a list of what was a commercial success this year then they actually are wrong. Zelda is my favourite gaming series ever, I own all the games and even have my DS Lite signed by the director of Zelda and Shigeryu Miyamoto and I've discussed game design with the design team on Twilight Princess... but to put THAT as the best DS game of the whole of 2009 is wrong.
Notice how all of the games QJ listed are from the last couple of months.
