I am am not the biggest Halo fan, but I feel that it is worse than Halo Reach. It was not innovative at all except for making a slightly better story and better graphics.

I feel Borderlands 2 was snubbed.

That said, I agreed with the most awarded major game of the year winner the past 2 years while not for this year.


I dunno, I don't feel that Borderlands 2 was better than Dishonored. It might end up taking the win.

I am talking about the winner of the most game of the year awards. Last year it was the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the year before it was Uncharted 2. i agreed with the most awarded tose years. COD is the same and Halo got worse in my eyes. I am not a fan of the new enemies in halo.

Borderlands 2 nor Dishornered will take the top spot in most awards and I do not think there will be a game that does this year overall like previous years.

I'm glad to see Journey got nominated 7 times.

Game of the year
Best PS3 game
Best song in a game
Best original score
Best graphics
Best independent game
Best downloadable game

Fully deserved!



The most screwed up part is that the Halo 4 will be taking on Borderlands, AC3 and Dishonored for best 360 game and I bet it will beat them then. If that doesn't beg people to question their decision, I dont know what will.



Who cares what the awards say. I have Tekken Tag 2, and I'm happy with it. Never did get into the FPS thing. I got killzone 3 a few months back when it came in a bundle pack with a controller for 60 dollars. It was practically free. Played it for a few weeks, maybe a month, and after that, haven't touched it or gotten another FPS since.

Aim and shoot the other person in the head or melee just gets old after a while. I like fighters because not only are characters different, the way people use the characters are different. Except MvC2, where it's spam spam spam, and that's fun too for it's own reason.

And, playing online, FPS, if you don't know the map, the best guns, weapon locations, you're going to die every few seconds, and then have to wait 15 seconds before you resume running around like a headless chicken.

And, I know, in fighters, you can get the crap beat out you to the point of not being able to move, or touch the enemy. But, at least you're playing against 1, or 2 people at a time... Not 16. If you run into a game in a FPS with one good person on a team of 16, you're in trouble. It wont matter if 15 of them are only slightly better than you.

But, during a fight, there's more things that can happen. That's why fighting games can't do more than 4 character online, meanwhile, you get 16 or some other high number in FPS.



The lack of a "best gameplay" category tells us how putrid things are in the videogame world.

There were some odd decisions imo like the lack of Trials Evolution as a best downloadable nominee. I didn't see walking dead being nominated for goty, but whatever.

Jourrney is going to win that hands down, but Fez is there.

Trials E >>>> Fez. I think if Trials was on there it would have a decent shot a winning. 



I agree with Chocoloco, overall I liked Reach better. I was expecting a lot more with the forerunner enemies and weapons. I havent gotten on-board for multi-player though.

I have yet to play Dishonored but from what I hear it SHOULD have a good chance. Personally I was more impressed with Witcher II and Darksiders II, I'd feel either of them should get it (having not played Dishonored)

Witcher 2 was great, but it doesn't count since it was last years game. Darksiders 2 was ok. Theres just something about that franchise that keeps it at good and never in the great category.
