Uncharted has a better visual disign than bioshock, but hey its te age of wii60 vs playstation 3.

I get the feeling you don't understand what visual design means. Bioshock was set in some steam punk underwater city. Uncharted was set in the set for an Indiania Jones movie. Uncharted had better graphics... but better visual design... i'm not seeing it.

Hah, so many Halo haters. I only listen to crits on Halo 3 if you own it.

For all people who said Halo 3 didn't deserve best innovation, I can say with certainty that it deserved it more than Crysis. What a fucking ridiculous award, that these two games managed to get nominated. Definitely should have been Portal.

Crysis innovated with open world FPS gameplay (at least in the beginning) and the speed, power, and stealth powers and how they were implemented.

I think Galaxy is getting too much credit for innovating. Gravity tricks, although perhaps not done as well, were done in an old Ratchet game and old mario games (including super paper mario before it which has the most innovative feature between the 2). Galaxy also borrowed sonic's air bubbles. I thought that was cute. Gravity was implemented well and the game was a very good platformer, but it's not as innovative as people are giving it credit for, imo.

That said, Halo 3 isn't that innovative either. It's mainly the fact that they have all the features in there: replays, 4-player co-op, map edits (not creators, though). Those features aren't new but they are well implemented. Skate has a nice replay system as well.

Anyway, Galaxy got game of the year so what are you guys complaining about?  I think games that have both great single and multiplayer should be way ahead of Galaxy for game of the year.  CoD4, Orange Box, Halo 3, and Rock Band would be up there for me.  I might add UT3 to that list after I play it.

Eh? He's saying Portal should of won... and you go off on a Super Mario Galaxy rant. Even though he never mentioned SMG. Showing a little bias there.

Way to ignore Mass Effect, Uncharted, Assassins Creed and more...

it's ok. Windbane doesn't read posts. He just assumes everyone who says anything that he doesn't agree with is some blind Nintendo fanboy.

Crysis did nothing innovative. Absolutely nothing that hasn't been seen before. Open world FPS has been done (never heard of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?) and as for speed/power/stealth powers, well, all three were present in UT2K4, to mention one of many.

I can't imagine how Halo 3 and Crysis even got nominated for this award let alone won it. It kind of makes me think that the rest of the awards were just handed out by different fanboys.

what i really am surprised by is that multiplats on the 360 are way superior to the ps3 versions!! (i thought that the ps3 was 3 times as powerful as the 360??)

Are you being biased or what? Why dont ou take that PS of your little wii60 thing. And know thinking it is wrong its actually FACT.


 

i was asking a question man. are u getting smart with or something? by the looks of it you are a rude fanboy who only reps his console so much that he would try to get smart with a new member! let's not have a misunderstanding dude!

 Earlier multi platform games are superior on the 360 as developers struggled to learn how to properly program for the PS3. Multiplatform games now are pretty much identical, except for orange box cause valve are assholes and couldnt be bothered spending time on the PS3 so they gave it to some crappy team at EA to do the porting.

 Halo 3 is NOT innovative, neither is SMG. Portal should have won.

It's a good thing nobody said SMG should have won most innovative... Is it just that people can't really argue SMG as game of the year because of the review scores so they feel the need to take shots at it for no reason? What's next "Super Mario Galaxy shouldn't have won best sports game of the year."

Best innovation - Halo 3

I stopped reading after that...

Me too.

They also gave Halo 3 10/10, perhaps the money behind this verdict has still something to do with this or they are so blind? Either way, it 's the UK/EU magazine !!! and this is 2007 Awards and here in EU we got 02/09 Okami, 02/23 Final Fantasy XII and one new HW the PlayStation 3, they should at least mention them.
