I think it's safe to say the PS3 is the definitive graphics king for this gen

Just to clarify:
We are speaking graphics awards.

"God of War 3 got Runner up in 2010, just like Mass Effect 2...."

No. Feel free to compile a list and I shall share mine :). For now to respond to that sentence:

Spike gave GoW3 Best Graphics of 2010.

Doesn't say much, does it? :')

"Since you have it tabulated, how many GOTY awards did ME2 get in 2010 compared to GoW 3?"
Not nearly as many ;).

Come on bro, work for it! It's my life's work! I am that much of a fanboy. Have you seen all of my UC3 stuff?! I'm known as the UC3 Nuthead here on VGC :D.

 

"How about Alan Wake and Heavy Rain (include # of runner ups for both)"
Not nearly as many ;). I can tell you this much:

Heavy rain and ME2 are quite close, Alan wake is faaaar distant. GoW3 is faaar ahead. Put some work into it and I will share :). That is if.. you can stop playing ME2.

 

"2009 Killzone 2 was runner up to UC2, but so was Alan Wake 2."
Alan wake was released in 10 and ..well, let me put it this way:
Can you find over 10 "Best Graphic Overall" awards that have given it to Alan wake? Cheerio! lmao.

"In E3 2008, blablabla, but MGS4 won for the year."

No interest in who shows what. Besides, when you speak "won E3 2008" I bet you are simply refering to one site like IGN. I am speaking internationally and more global => A LOT OF SITES.
We're talking finished products regardless, so I won't dwell on this.

Atleast you can acknowledge MGS4 for 08, UC2 for 09, UC3 for 11: and I do believe you're not naive enough to disgard GoW3 from 10.

Once again: Simply showing what the majority thought.
I have Crysis on the PC and the PS3, thanks for the tip anyway.

Spike....is just terrible. They didn't nominate Super Mario Galaxy as GOTY Material in 2007 and got chastized so much Skyward Sword was an auto contender this year.

You also clerverly avoided my questions. How many Best Graphics awards did ME2 get and GoW3? I really doubt a lot more. Same with Alan Wake vs. Heavy Rain

....

I'm just going to point something out. You said UC3>UC2>KZ3>KZ2 as the top 4 best graphics on consoles, right? IGN said Gears 2 is above Killzone 2, and Gears 3 is a huge upgrade on that. So I do agree UC2>Gears 3, but the difference isn't that big, and in the end racing sim like Forza and GT5 look much much better.

IMHO Forza 4>GT5=Forza 3>UC3>Gears3>UC2>ME2=KZ3>KZ2=GoW3

If you disagree, that's your own personal opinion, not a concensus.

I don't know where I would put Mass Effect 3 as I want to beat ME2 before playing it.
