Yeah, I know...I've played a bunch of Half Life 2 using the Portal Gun haha...but the mainstream gaming community and general gaming press has never really embraced or acknowledged PC mods.

I would rather have Orange Box win best FPS, 360 game, whatever else it could win...I'm just explaining why Halo 3 is highly regarded as well.

And the GT cheif in editor said bioshock is overrated. And n guy (however you spell his name) said mass effect was a dissapointment. It goes both ways why you fanboys believe otherwise is beyond me.

THey are most likely a rent because of lack of replay and shortness

I highly disliked team fortress and found it rather weird and boring. Everyone has opinions, i love halo 3 to death (been to busy to play it though)

In general i disliked orange box, but i understand its loved by many so i dont go bashing it.

also this guy should have better ears, GT gave cod 4 best graphics because of the amount going on screen, not flat out better looking. THe huge combat in COD with its graphics is superb

Uncharted would never make GOTY simply because no one bought it. I don't think there's a US site out there with the balls to give a game with sales numbers that poor GOTY.

CoD4 would be a smart choice, it's multiplat so both the 360 and PS3 fanboys can be happy.

 Kotaku gave it not quite game of year overall, but them and IGN have given it best PS3 game of the year, which it it. As I have R & C, UDF and CoD4, I can say that Uncharted wins. CoD may have a lot more time to give, but Uncharted's 10 hours are the best that you will have on PlayStation, and Uncharted does beat CoD on graphics

 IGN gave last year's GOTY award to Okami. I was shocked, I figured it would be Twilight Princess or Gears of War because that's all anyone ever seemed to talk about, and they pick something I never heard of, and from what I can tell, sold fairly poorly. Glad they did, I really ended up enjoying it, and don't think I would of heard of it otherwise.

Firstly... I agree that The Orange Box is much more deserving of "Best FPS Game."  But if they broke up TOB into individual games, then I can see why they thought Halo 3 was better than any of the individual games (if you count Portal as an FPA).

Second, you know why The Forge is awesome?  Because you can actually use it on a 360, because even a noob can figure it out, and because you can throw a fun map together in a few minutes.  You're playing Halo 3 multiplayer with your friends, you're discussing an idea for what would be cool in a map, and a few minutes later, you'll all having fun playing on that map.  Consoles just aren't set up to run fully-fledged desktop applications like Hammer.  The Forge isn't meant to be Hammer, it's meant to be very easy and fast to use, and usable on the 360, and it's good at what it does.  It's like the stage editor in Brawl.  They didn't want to make something only 1% of Halo 3 owners would use, they wanted to make something 100% of Halo 3 owners would use.

Anyone else remember that Lair review thread? Lair was obviously getting horrible reviews from every site, and leo-j declared that he only trusted reviews from Gametrailers and one other site (IGN?). Neither had reviewed Lair yet when he said that (which is obviously WHY he still trusted the but not other sites), but then IGN gave Lair yet another lousy score, so leo-j said he only trusts Gametrailers.

Yep it is bullcrap, everyone knows Metroid Prime Corruption is the best FP-game of the year
