Overall Game of Show
Scribblenauts

Best console game Mass Effect 2. That list is very 360 heavy. Woot, go microsoft., and go scribblenauts. Forza 3, ME2, Alan Wake, SC, L4D2, project Natal. Epic win for MS, honestly.

Alan Wake winning best Action Game, over God of War 3... SC:Conviction... Uncharted 2?

That... is surprising.

EDIT: Is Alan Wake even CLASSED as an Action Game? I thought it was a Horror?

Yep, most people expect Survival Horror games that aren't Resident Evil to suck...honestly, Alan Wake looks to change all that. IGN thought it was one of the best games of the entire show, and they are IGN afterall, or at least that's what the PS3 fans keep telling me. IGN is pretty nice to PS3 exclusives, judging from their review scores, so I hear their praises a lot. Wonder if they will be praised now?

The graphics for Alan Wake, mixed with the engrossing storytelling and atmosphere. Well, if GoWIII is just like GoW2 with more violence and enemies on the screen...I see why they snubbed it. Gotta give it to the new IP, not the sequel.

^considering the source, not really...



OT: Don't know how to comment on their choices...

The source is IGN. What exactly did you mean there? I asked you if IGN would be praised by this forum for their choices, and you said "considering the source, not really"

What did you mean?

IGN is the source.

Biggest Surprise
Kojima's Castlevania

I would say biggest one was 1 FF XIV is mmrpg 2 Metal Gears 3 Natal

Oh great.
Now GameSpy and IGN are both on some heavy drugs.
Uncharted 2? God of War 3? Hell, even Sony motion control?
That whole list, there isn't a single listing for GoW3.
That's when you know the list sucks, too be completely honest.

GoWIII was complained about by G4 and others for being very much like GoWII, with just more enemies. That is why it dodn't make the list. However, Uncharted 2 is on the list for best graphics tech. I think you missed that one.

GoWIII is highly popular, but IGN didn't think it was the best. In fact, it got snubbed on a lot of lists. Did they change developers or something?
