I can't believe what a joke the Gamespot Game of the year award is.
1 Wii game, no 360 exclusives and 2 PS3 exclusives .... great a system wars battle rolls on.
it is unfortunate that MGS4 is bound to win this years award over what is in my opinion at least 2 games that are better ... my favorite site gamecentral doesn't even have MGS4 in it's top 20 let alone up for game of the year.
when you narrow down to a final 10 games of the year there are bound to be a few notable exceptions .. however simply put there is something seriously wrong when the best games on each system don't show up on the list.
Now taste is subjective that's fine but my best games on each system are between
Wii :
SSMB , Mario kart and World of Goo ... No more heroes is in the top 5 .. but not top slot
Xbox 360 :
Gears 2 , Fable 2 , braid
PS3:
Little big planet, Valkyria Chronicles , Bioshock
Worst of all though are the questionable inclusions ... namely Resistance 2
it pains me to see a shooter that isn't even deserving of a top 3 place in the shooters of the year get undue pops
Gears 2 , Far cry 2 , Left for dead all FAR better games than resistance.
Sigh .... the only good thing about the list is that it didn't turn into a Todger waggling contest with Gears 2 and MGS 4 going head to head !
The whole problem with Kane and Lynch lost Gamespot a whole lot of credibility ... now we have a GOTY award that does the same.
ok time to put my money where my mouth is and list my top games of the year
Fallout 3 (360/PS3/PC)
Grand Theft Auto IV (360/PS3/PC)
Fable II (360)
LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
Left 4 Dead (360/PC)
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (DS)
Braid (360/PC)
Zack & Wiki (Wii)
Gears Of War 2 (360)
Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
No More Heroes (Wii)
World Of Goo (PC/Wii)
disagree , that's fine , i'm right your wrong .. simply because this is my opinion not yours .. i'm not telling you what you think the best games of the year are i'm not stating what are the best games .. just simple what I think are the best games
Comments
that's why i liked the score policy of Eurogamer .... scores are genre specific so an FPS might get a 7 because the market is saturated and there are far better games out there .. where as world of Goo would get a 9 or 10 because there are fewer quality puzzle games.
technically the FPS may be a much better game than Goo .. but why directly compare apples and oranges .. if i'm looking at goo i want to know should i spend my money on this game if a want a puzzle game .. the answer yes
for the FPS ( say COD5 ) should i spend my money on this game the answer is no .. buy COD4 or Gears or Halo

They are all so different in my mind as to be uncomparable.
