Mike still hasn’t finished Zelda, so GotY has to wait another week. Normally AJ would tie Mike to a chair and make him finish, but this is not possible thanks to the evils of motion gaming. So blame Nintendo, I guess. We do talk about the demos for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Resident Evil: Revelations, so all is not lost.

Mike still has a game he needs to finish (it rhymes with “meld a”), so we’re pushing back our game of the year picks to next week. Instead, we match up some top games of 2011, discuss the future consoles, get a bit deeper into SWTOR, and the ever interesting December NPDs.
And because the GotY picks are pushed back a week, this gives you 7 more days to enter our DOTA 2 beta key giveaway. Check out last week’s show and post for details on how to enter.
