There are some odd ommissions...GHWT, Resistance 2, Killzone, etc.



Around the Network

That was unexpected. Nice to see a downloadable title like flower get best graphics. It shows how far along the quality has come on these services.

Fable II beng overall Best of Show is going to make starcraft very happy. You should PM this to him.



Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.



360 domination! the only wii games that won are multiplatform. lmfao



Interesting to see Flower win for best graphics. It does appear to be a really attractive game from what little I've seen.



Best PS3 game: No Resis or Kilz 2? Best shooter, no Resis ro Kilz 2? wow



Around the Network

^^Yeah, that is kinda weird. Maybe they only chose games that had playable demos on the floor.



Why does Flower have PC listed, and why does it link to Age of Booty (multiple times).



hmmm intersting lists.



that list of thiers seems a bit off 2 me



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Gamespot...what are we going to do about you.

The list is a little bit off. Personally the game that I was expecting a lot of but saw nothing from was GT5.
