How many "Best of the Year" articles have been published so far this year?

Also LOL at the Michael Jackson game.

True, it's going to be interesting to see what this holiday's titles is going to do to this list.

It's not all that surprising, but still slightly depressing. :tongue:

Of that list I've only bought L.A. Noire.

Just goes to show casual gamers make up a bulk of the market. Not that that's bad or that the more hardcoe group is being forgotten about.

In all fairness, the list seems fairly accurate. This is the best selling games not the best games after all.

This list made me realize that out of the few games I've bought this year, none of them were new.

I was shocked at first, then remembered that not much came out this year until the least few weeks so i'm not surprised.

This will change.

I wish my taste in games was mainstream again. It'd probably mean we'd be getting more of those kinds of games. :P

If only Japanese games were popular..

Only thing on that list I own is COD.

The only other title on that list I'd actually play is mortal kombat.
