Zero-Cool

Walking Dead Overall Game of the Year, happy with that!

tok9

Journey still deserved better :P

Seriously though, great job Mr.E

Big Knox

Disappointed Journey didn't take the top spot but you can't argue with 2nd! I'm going to tell myself if it wasn't a PS3 exclusive it would have won!! :pac:

Thanks again Mr E.

F1ngers

Absolutely delighted The Walking Dead won GOTY.

Am I allowed to "tweet" @telltalegames that they won boards.ie GOTY?

I'm sure they'd like that..

Great job, Mr. E.

Happy about Walking dead not so much the lack of Borderlands 2 wins

Yip, great to see The Walking Dead win.

Not too worried about Borderlands 2 doing poor, I got burnt rotten with glitches in it, all patched now, but still couldn't vote for it.

Otacon

Had hoped Journey would get the GOTY award, but it was always going to be a long shot being an exclusive title.

Telltale Games @telltalegames
We're working on games based on #TheWalkingDead, DC Comics’ Fables & more. #SamAndMax & #BTTF were us too! Tweets by @jobjstauffer, @lauraperusco & the TTG team

A retweet would have been pretty cool.

Grumpypants

Great Job as always Mr. E nice and clean this year too.

PS. Tweet the results to @jobjstauffer he is Telltales head of PR and a really decent guy. Helped us out loads when doing the cast interviews.

Glad to see The Walking Dead, Far Cry 3 and Hotline Miami do well.

Also thanks to Mr.E on a great job this year.

My guess would be that when voting took place for Overall RPG, given the absence of Dark Souls from the nomination, it was heavily backed by the PC crowd despite the fact that it was originally released on that platform in 2011.

Pretty much as expected, although you guys have no taste in music or hot women!

Would have liked to see La Mulana do a hell of a lot better, people really need to play this game. It's ridiculously good, will last your hours on end and is cheap on steam and GOG. It's like a mix of spelunky and super metroid.

Well given that probably around three people on here or indeed in Ireland have played it, if even, the fact that it won even a category - albeit by default - is a small miracle!

Cheers again Mr. E for organising it, delighted to see Journey getting such a healthy amount of support against the bigger guns. Might be an idea next year to somewhat cut down on the amount of platform specific genre categories? There's a lot of categories that definitely don't have enough titles to nominate.

Well obviously, it's not on Steam yet so hasn't had a chance to be in a sale. :pac:

I agree with you there, i'd say Citra only won because she got her baps out!

If you consider Hotline Miamis music as tasteless you may be the one with no taste

Dead cert for next year. I'd love to cut the categories in half at least.

I just played Hotline Miami for the first time. I played for half an hour and I'm a jumpy shuddering mess. What a game.

Soundtrack is fantastic too.
