The first game had minor flaws but was an epic game which sold 8 million copies. I recommend to check it out now, before you get completely hooked by the sequel this Fall.
Assassin's Creed II will compete for GOTY 2009 and is at this point the biggest favorite to win. It will sell 10 million copies on PS360 alone. |
The favourites for GOTY 2009 are Uncharted 2 and Scribblenauts, actually.
|
Uncharted 2 is an extremely strong contender yes. But I believe both games will get between 90-92%, and Assassin'c Creed II being multiplatform will earn it the reward.
A 10 million seller will get favored over a 2.5 million seller.
Scribblanuts will definately not win GOTY 2009. It will be highly praised but the catogories it will take are more like 'biggest surprise 2009'.
|
Reviewers don't care about sales. GoTY awards are based on hype and quality. Uncharted 2 has more of BOTH than Assassin's Creed 2.
|
Be realistic for once. Assassin's Creed II has lot bigger hype and expecations than Uncharted 2. Uncharted is a dwarf franchise compared to Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed II will get above 90% on Gamerankings/Metacritic and win GOTY.
|
Would you care to make a bet on that?
I say Uncharted 2 wins, you say AC2 wins. If neither wins, it's a draw and nobody loses. I think a week of sig/avatar control would be good. Now we just need to decide- whose GoTY award are we going by?
|
I'll crush you lol. Which award is the most prestigeus and official one?
|
I suppose those would be the Interactive Achievement Awards, but those won't be until February-March next year. Can you wait that long? Because GameSpot is usually pretty good with awards (even if they do suck at everything else). We could also go by Game Critics Awards, which basically sums up the opinion of every major game critic. I'll see if I can find the website.

Think about it. No hurry, lol.
