Best Gameplay (EGA's VGA's 2008)

"Nuts to graphics and sound, I care not," you say, "tell me how playing the game feels." While some games rely on in-game tutorials and control manuals to explain how the game operates, this game clicks with you the moment you begin playing it. Telepathy seems the only reasonable explanation as to why your first instincts translate so well into the game-world, but you struggle to explain why performing these actions in the game is so much fun. The winner of this award must balance simplicity with nuance, blatancy with subtlety, and ensure that elements which other games turn into mundane chores, this game turns into exciting opportunities through its gameplay mechanics.

LBP gets this cate. From the puzzles and platforming to the level creator, it's a gameplay gold mine.

Finally Fallout 3 gets some love.

LBP for me again.

Mirror's Edge, because its different and exhilarating.

I pick Fallout 3, because it isn't as crazy as LBP plus I have Sat Internet. Much like X-Fire, you need to know at least 1 person on there to talk too.

Why are stuffed animals brilliant? Tell me! I stopped having stuffed animals since I was 8 for goodness sakes!

I saw some ppl at college do Pinatas, but that RAREWARE game for X360 like pretty similar and very popular. Must be a post-1998 Bday cultural thing. I'm 24 BTW.
