It seems an difficult year to predict. The fact that very few of those games have any kind of demo or playable version out doesn't help.
Anyway, for the grand prize I would say probably Super Meat Boy, although Monaco and Trauma may have good chances.
Other games that I might be interested in, I would say Shank, Owlboy, Miegakure, and Tuning.

Heretic! Brutal Legend is the best game evar! You just don't get it!
Slightly more serious, yeah, it does have its flaws. But I object to some of your points. The controls aren't any more cluttered than any other game I played recently. Sure, every button and pad on the controller has a function, but that's the curse of those blasted things with two many buttons and gizmos. And no, you're not supposed to run and give orders at the same time. In fact, you're not supposed to give too many orders at all. The maps aren't that twisted, there's hardly any need for army splitting finesse, and mostly, your units act sensibly on their own (the cases where they don't don't matter much in single player.) Just plant the rally flag where the main battle is and keep spawning. Regarding being able to do something while a previous animation hasn't finished: it's called cancelling and a regular feature in fighting games
At least, the instances of it I know of. Like being able to roll/dodge while a special combo attack is still in its after-effect animation. Dunno about not being able to do something new while the last action seems finished. Can you give an example? Music covering dialog? Umm, just mess with the individual volume sliders, I do that in every game that is smart enough to include such a feature (curse on Wallace&Gromit there). The framerate seems to be mostly a PS3 thing. The 360 version has its fair share, too, but it's nowhere near as bad as in GTA4, and mostly happens when content needs to be streamed in while exploring the world (and I guess there's the problem, on the PS3, that data comes from the relatively slow BlueRay and on the 360 from the HD, for me at least) and not when it matters.

Humm, which units were that? Of course, they act sensibly within the limits of their abilities, and they always attack if they see an opportunity and have nothing else to do, even if it's suicide (like, headbangers vs. metal beasts). There are subtle differences in that depending on whether they have just been spawned and ran to the rally flag, have been ordered to move to a spot, and have been ordered to guard a specific spot, of course, but it all amounts to 'if enemy in aggro range, attack'.jelco wrote:in my case they kept doing stupid suicide runs because for some reason they always managed to start their attack the moment the enemy kicks them dead.
Odd, never saw this as much of a problem. The mumbling of the units should usually be toned down. Of course, there were severe audio problems on the original PS3 build. They were immediately patched, but returned recently, some people report. Could be that.jelco wrote:I probably put it wrong, but it's not just the music. In scenes where lots of your soldiers are shouting at each other (or you) it's impossible to make out Eddie's own voice and this cannot be adjusted with the sliders (since it all falls under Voice).
And, umm, 5 FPS? Really? Never saw it getting close to that. Regular framerate here is 30 FPS and it never drops below that for more than half a second, during which time it can be quite irregular and annoying (especially if you're just playing a solo at that time), but I don't think even the worst frames were more than 100 ms apart. I am quite sensitive to issues like that
And I've seen recordings of PS3 game sessions, they don't look worse. Maybe your copy/ps3 is slightly defective? Or were you playing online games? Lag can be bad and cause extreme stuttering (doubly annoying, because while the action is paused, inputs are ignored).-
