GodisaGeek: "Kicking off the GodisaGeek Game of the Year Awards 2011, we’re starting with Downloadable Game of the Year.
With the boom in iOS devices competing with the usual Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network and Nintendo WiiWare/DSiWare, this category should prove more difficult than ever. Can the big boys maintain dominance?"
We take a walk around the Cloud Gaming Graveyard - listing all the failed cloud gaming services over the last decade.
We discuss the ups, the downs, and overall history of this technology. Turns out running a successful cloud gaming service that addresses the various technical hurdles and actually makes money is a real challenge.
"We may take digital downloads on console for granted nowadays but let's go back to when they became popularised and decide which platform offered the superior service." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
It's a travesty BG&E didn't get number one! :)
I've yet to try Bastion or Ms. Splosion Man, but judging by the response they got both here and on the podcast, I think I may have to pick them both up at some point.
Nice! Love for Ms Splosion Man!
Kinda disappointed to not see Might and Magic Clash of Heroes, but technically it was a late 2009 retail release on DS..arriving on PSN and XBLA this year though. Fantastic game.
