We return from the holiday break ready to discuss important topics like the right way to say 2010, Vinny's Steam sale bender, Brad's first impressions of Fallout 3, the return of Wrex, the legacy of NBA Jam, and much more in this week's Bombcast!

We spend nearly four hours debating which games deserve to win Giant Bomb's 2009 platform awards, as well as our overall Game of the Year, in this mammoth Bombcast.

We finish off this metric Willennium with our picks for 2009's Best New Non-Player Character, Best Performance By Nolan North, Most Disappointing Game, Best Competitive Multiplayer, and Weirdest game.

In today's Game of the Year update we talk about downloads, Soulja Boy, big-ass ramps, classic revivals, and more!

What do Eastern Europe, villainy, terrible games, DLC, and guilty pleasures all have in common? Listen here to find out!

We explain our choices for Best Debut, Best Co-Op, Best Use of Zombies, Best Graphics, and Best Ending for Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2009.

We discuss the nominees for 2009's 2008 Game of the Year, Most Divisive Game, Best Song In A Non-Rhythm Game, Best Late Title Card, and Best Original Soundtrack, and how we came to our winners.

With videogames all curled up in their holiday hibernation, we turn to you, the listener, to help us pad out two hours of freeform nonsense in this all-email holiday edition of the Bombcast! Special thanks to coffeesash for the holly-jolly holiday theme.

It's nothing but drunk Santas, MKII arcade machines, fluid dynamics, James Cameron's Avatar, Swedish cowboys, Akham Asylum Too, the limits of Drew's Halo knowledge, and Game of the Year preparations in this week's Bombcast!

Gather 'round the ole Bombcast for tales of pagan Christmas tree rituals, suicide eff bombers, enemy trains, Le Saboteur, dice rolls in Star Wars: The Old Republic, Medal of Honor's modern warfare, the most common achievement names, and so much more!

Due to severe lack of gaming... I am thinking of shutting myself off... permanently... let's see how KidZombie HD digs on that!

It is that time of the week. I got your weekly recap right here: This is going to be the most exciting one ever! Ready?... ok not really... KidZombie HD stood me up seven days in a row... it hurts... right where my heart should be.

Bobby is that you? Wait... I don't know a Bobby... WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!!

If I was a dog, KidZombie HD would never have neglected me like he did yesterday...

I have now endured 27 days of pure torture... that is what this is... this non-game playing... someone call the police.

Oh man... I think my disk drive is broken... I can't feel my controller... KidZombie HD? Are you there? Anybody? Somebody? Nobody? I need gaming! Please!

KidZombie HD doesn't have much gaming to hand out these days... just plenty of NEGLECT!

Come back to me KidZombie HD... I promise that whatever I did, I will not do it again. I can't take it when you are angry at me.

If you would have told me that KidZombie HD would go 23 days without playing, I would have told you that you were crazy. I guess you were right. No games = No joy.

Watch closely because here comes the recap... if you aren't paying attention, you might miss it: This is normally the highlight of my week because I can reminisce about all the different games I served up... Unless, of course, there were no games played at all... kinda like last week. I feel like such a tool.
