Forums - Gaming Discussion - Gamespot's Game of the Year is... (Drum Roll)

Uncharted and Ratchet should have made that list for sure. Warhawk and Resistance were also excellent games. Mario Galaxy is a very fun game, but I wouldnt put it past most of the games I listed above. Gamespot is just very anti PS3 to begin with. They are very pro M$ which is why the winner surprises me, but the fact the PS3 didnt even make there list doesnt.

Is it that hard to accept that SMG is just that much better than R&C? Nothing against R&C, it's a perfectly fine game, just SMG is about as close to perfect as a single game has achieved in nearly 10 years.

 

Say what you want about the game but any game that comes so close to Ocarina of Time is very impressive and more than likely deserves any honor it receives.


I'm suprised somone like yourself would even acknowlege R&C as a "perfectly fine" game. Mario Galaxy is far from perfect, Twesterm. Mario Galaxy, like any other game, has it's flaws. The camera, for instance, is not even close to being perfect. The Swiming levels do not control well. R&C isn't just a fine game. Rather, it's an amazing game game. There's no game within the same genre that's a full 9 points better.


 And I'm surprised someone like you think your opinion is the only opinion and not the 60-ish reviews for both games.

Resistance was a decent launch game at best. If it were released today I guarantee that it would have scored at least 5 points lower. The only reason the game even sold well is because there was nothing else for a very long time.

Actually, to end all this, lets just look at the scores for the nominees and then the games people keep whining about that should be on the list:

(Gamerankings score followed by Gamespot score)

Bioshock - 95.3 / 9.0
Call of Duty 4 (360) - 94.4 / 9.0
Crysis - 91 / 9.5
Forza Motorsport 2 - 90 / 9.2
God of War II - 92.6 / 9.2
Halo 3 - 93.3 / 9.5
Rock Band (360) - 93.3 / 9.0
Super Mario Galaxy - 97.3 / 9.5
The Orange Box (360) - 96.3 / 9.5
World in Conflict - 89.2 / 9.5

Now if you look at those games, you'll notice that they all have something in common: Gamespot rated each of those games above a 9 and all of them except World in Conflict have a 90+ rating on Gamerankings.

Lets look at the PS3 games now:

Call of Duty 4 (PS3) - 93.7 / 9.0
Rock Band (PS3) - 90.6 / 9.0
The Orange Box (PS3) - 82.8 / 9.0
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - 89.6 / 8.0
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction - 89.0 / 7.5
Resistance: Fall of Man - 86.9 / 8.6
Warhawk - 84.4 / 8.5

Would you look at that! The games that are multiplatform are consistently lower than the 360 versions on Gamerankings and they are all lower on Gamespot except CoD4. For the PS3 exclusives, none of them are 9+ games on Gamerankings or Gamespot.

So there you have it. That's why there are no PS3 games on that list: they are either worse than their 360 counterpart or the games just aren't as good as some of the other games that came out this year.

Now because you start saying I'm a biased fanboy piece of shit, remember these are all opinions so of course not everyone is going to agree. I have absolutely nothing against PS3 games at the moment but it's pretty plain and easy to see they don't compare to the better games this year. I'm not saying the PS3 games are bad, far from it, it's just they aren't as good as the best games. Saying the PS3 games are bad because they didn't get nominated is like saying a football team isn't any good because it didn't make it to the Superbowl. The team may be perfectly good, they just aren't good enough to be the best.



""Mario Galaxy is vastly overrated. I don't see how the game is better than the PS3's Ratchet. There's not a single game ever made that deserves a freakin' 97%. How could that be at 97% with Ratchet only 88%?""

Well 99% of unbiased opinions believe SMG deserves it, so i would say that it is underrated by you rather than overrated by everyone else. 



Did Twilight Princess win last year, or was it Gears of War? If it was TP, then the Wii is off to a phenomenal start.

It was the Runner up. But Gears of War deserved it. 



The 360 won't bomb, the Ps3 won't sell out past 100 million, the Wii will. Over all predictions, NINTENDO IS BACK IN FIRST BITCHES!

What a surprise, not one PS3 games in the finals. I'm taken aback (Sarcasm, you dolts(Sarcasm there too))
