Best 360 Game: Halo 3 I think the best FPS is Orange Box, the biggest surprise would have to be something else...the Bungie deal wasn't THAT big...but otherwise, I don't see much wrong with their list, it at least makes sense.
Before you go bashing them for loving Halo 3 so much, play the game yourself. If you haven't played it (leo-j) then I don't get what you're complaining about. Compared to the other nominees for say, Multiplayer game, I'd still say Halo 3 wins, and I don't even like Halo much. It has a ton of options, the Forge, 4 player online cooperative mission play, as well as new map downloads and plenty of players. It just has more stuff than COD4 or TF2 (if that was even a nominee, don't care as that's my personal favorite), it's close with COD4 but I can see why they chose it.
I can see why 360 had best software...it had all the multiplatform games that the PS3 had and then some, and also its multiplats were often released earlier with fewer bugs. It had a ton of exclusives, and many would say it was a much better year for it than PS3 or Wii.
Lair was the most disappointing game in ages. That's a fact. COD4 winning best PS3 game over Uncharted or Ratchet may not go over with everyone, but I can see it being a better game than those two...
I think I covered the most controversial stuff with at least a smidge of logic...now where's the conspiracy? |
