Actually, the core fanbase of these titles is on the 360. Keep in mind, the 360 is the hardcore neckbeard ronery otaku's main console.
Cheap port production costs, and a dedicated fanbase are the reasons why there's so many shmups on the 360 (as well as other japanese niche games), as dgroundwater said.
And hey, dgroundwater, there's always a possibility we'll se a NA release. Perhaps as an XBLA game, or just a full r...
...Sadly.
If anything, Bayonetta deserves the prize more than God of War III, in my opinion.
Also, I'm sad to see that Recettear isn't in the "indie" section.
I don't really like this list, as well as (almost) every "GOTY" list. Ah well.

Old? iRacing was released in 2008, and I agree with Jimmy Riddle, people who say GT5 is the "best sim evar" probably haven't touched another racing simulator outside GT.
Indeed, I'm feeling like the bigger gaming grows, the worse it gets.
Well, we DID see alot of fanboys on the SEGA vs Nintendo days, but they weren't as bad as these failed attempts of fanboys nowadays. Hell, there's not even a logical reason behind it. I fail to see why the hell somebody acts like that.
...And the lack of multiplayer.
However, what he meant to say is than the game failed to adapt to a bigger market. And, since EA is a company, they can't go around saying "Screw multiplayer! Screw hard games!". They HAVE to make cash, after all.
So resolution defines wich games you buy?
...Seriously? It's not worth 50$ 'cause it's not 720p? Jesus christ.
I'll get the game tomorrow, when it releases, as I've already pre-ordered it. Honestly, I could give two shits about the resolution, I'm all in for (what it seems) an awesome game.

He was just using reverse logic, as it seems like zootang likes to think that the more cars the better.
@zootang
So now, "no point"?
Ahahahahah. Jesus.
Hey, NecrumSlavery, you also ought to think a game like this wouldn't find a big of an audience on the HD consoles.
If anything, I think this is comparable to Brutal Legend when it released. Marvelous games that, sadly, aimed at a core base that isn't big on sales.
As you said, this is a game that has a hunred years worth of Disney culture. It's aimed at those adults who loved cartoons back in the day (And heck, still do), but the adventure itself...
Honestly, you're overreacting about the PS3 port.
I played it on PS3 post-patch, and didn't had any problem with it (Aside from them textures).
It IS Japan, however, just looking at the game, I really doubt it'll be [insert generic anime fanservice here]. Don't get me wrong, fanservice itself doesn't bothers me at all, I'm just expecting Catherine gets the whole "mature relationships and sexuality" concept right.
In fact, it SHOULD get it right. The game revolves around said relationships, as well as the mental state of the main character, after all.
It's just Japanese costumers having awful taste, as always.
Sadly, you are right.
People like to read what they WANT to read, after all. If something dares to defy their almighty logic and knowledge, you'll just see complaints everywhere.
I think you're pretty right, we don't really see game worlds like the ones we saw back in the day, in games like Chrono Trigger. In fact, now that I think about it, the last time I was truly blown off by a game's setting, and how much care developers took on it, was Ar Tonelico (Although Nier deserves a special mention here, as well).
Also, about the combat, if you wanna see a game where you can do combos by mixing spells and skills, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronic...
You're forgettin' 'bout Cavia games, Drakengard and Nier.
Both are incredibly awesome, give them a try, as Vivi said.
No, really. They're of the best and most underrated games out there.
I think Zeke was the best character in the game.
He showed a human side, and was a true bro, despite [insert spoilers here].
Indeed, although I can understand how the author feels.
I just hope Ubisoft doesn't makes Assasin's Creed their Call of Duty, but instead keep things fresh.
Indeed, AC fans (Hell, Mech fans as a whole) are kind of a dying breed, sadly. Ah well, usually, people who like these games are really nice.
I think your speculation isn't far off, since they mentioned bigger, more dynamic enviorments (Well, compared to the mech), and honestly, I can't wait for it!
I'll probably get it for PS3, and man, looking at how small (but awesome) the AC fanbase is, they should just do cross-platform online. Too bad that&#...
Then why bother making the game easy and forgiving at first?
Editan at Vesemir down there:
People can learn to play through tutorials and free modes. The fact that the game actually gets harder after you've spent a good deal of hours with it means it's just forgiving at first. It wants you to win and to get used to it.
And if the game's made for the "hardcore", as well as a core base, that shouldn't happen. Honestly,...
Who knows, Vanquish was a fairly awesome shooter.
