Gears 3 Not nominated for VGA’s Game of The Year

Unfortunately, I haven´t played Skyrim yet, but IMO, from what people are reporting, there should be absolutely no way a multiplatform should be GOTY contender and have a broken version of the game, regardless of what hardware it is.

Just like Batflefield 3 should not be the best graphical game because the PC version is just wow graphically. Multiplatforms are judged by what they can bring in all platforms, and unfortunately for PS3 gamers, Skyrim is unplayable after you reach a certain point.

I am against Skyrim being GOTY contender, for the simple fact that once again, there was an audience (regardless of who they were) that were completely robbed when playing full price for this game, I don´t care how good the other versions of the game are.

Even tho I played limited time of Gears 3 because I personally don´t own a 360, I really like the franchise. IMO it is the best exclusive 360 franchise, but they made a huge mistake with the sawed off shotgun, ignoring the huge hardcore audience they have, to appeal to a more casual gamer.

As for what should be the GOTY criteria, quality. What is quality??? It depends on the judge, so it will always be questionable. It certainly should not be because it sells 10M first week.

But hey I have a very peculiar way of thinking. I think that I can have a lot more fun with the "worst" game. For me "good/bad" games are based on technical stuff plus how fun it is, so let´s imagine MW3 vs BF3, if I have a little more fun with MW3, but BF3 destroys MW3 in the technical side, I can honestly say that I had more fun with the "worst" game.

That is why reviewing should not be for anyone, you have to know how to balance the fun you have, with the technical merits a game has. So for me as a gamer FUN>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else, but from a reviewing stand point, everything have to be balanced, that is why COD games sell, because they are great fun for a lot of people.
