After checking out Spike Video game awards nominees on Spike.com I was surprised to see that Gears of War 3 wasn’t nominated for Game of the Year. Why? because despite my personal feeling about Arkham City  andUncharted 3  being the top 2 contenders for VGA’s Game of the Year award. I felt that Gears 3 deserved to be in the top 5 if not 3. If you’re fanboy of a  particular platform or not, you have to admit that Gears 3 delivered a pretty solid and in depth gaming experience . With it’s great story, graphic’s, and action Gears to me deserves to be a contender but it’s not up to me in the end.

Cliffy B believe’s that Gears should be considered “Game of the century” a statement he made during our interview at the Best Buy Gears launch event.  It is my belief that Games such as Gears of War 3, Batman Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, and Zelda Skyward Sword have already achieved this feat. Studios such as Naughty Dog, Epic Games, and Rockstedy  have proven that there are no limits in the ways of Gaming innovation, and have changed the way we see video games because of it.

Though it wasn’t nominated I feel that Gears 3 is and deserves to be a contender for Game of the Year. Still I would like to hear your thoughts on if you agree or not.

LittleBigPlanet 2 has a higher score then Gears 3 on Metacritics so if there is any other game deserving to be nominated is LBP2.

This hurts me. I don't think Gears is the best game of the year (Batman is better) but it's one of the best. Who were the nominees?

Yeah I thought that was very odd aswell. 5 spaces is not enough too. Is there any european gaming site that officially does the game of the year nominations?

Batman: Arkham city, skyrim, zelda: skward sword, portal 2 and uncharted 3. 

Two of the games have not been released yet......odd.

it should take the place of mw3.

Bethsheda must have really deep advertising pockets to get Skyrim nominated before it's even released.

then whats the fifth game?

Well atleast the critics have played it already just can't post their reviews yet (not sure about Zelda).

And don't really see an reason why Gears of war 3 should deserve to be in the top 5...  

Hint: How many other big exclusives were release for X360 this year? ;)
