The Horrible Show 12-22-10: Games of the Year 2010 Nominations

Anything goes during Games of the Year nominations. Christina has a voice identity crisis, Cole takes off early, and you can hear Justin and Ethan “crafting” in their brains. But we hold it together to discuss the games that defined 2010. Send in your questions to [email protected] or @TheHorribleShow

We are one week away from the 1st Annual Grimmy Awards for Horrible Night’s Games of the Year, so it seems like we should probably nominate a few games. We can’t do that without getting off-topic in our Threesomes of the Week where Justin gets confused about which Ernest is which. The On the Spot question wraps up 2009 a year too late by asking – Have your Top Games of 2009 changed? But all we have for Batman: Arkham Asylum is a participation from Cole. Sorry Batman. On to the year that matters, this year, where we get the bad news out of the way first with Underperformers and Overperformers, before finally listing off our personal highlights of 2010. Did your favorite game make catch our attention? Check back next week for the official nominees and to see how takes home the coveted-as-of-now 2010 Grimmys.
