Forums - Gaming Discussion - IGN's GAME OF THE YEAR...and the winner is?!?!?!

Oh IGN. Inconsistent as usual. Killzone 2 won best ps3 shooter over Modern Warfare 2, yet Modern Warfare 2 topped Killzone 2 for overall shooter.

lol at those guys with the kittens xD





love the video



a little late dont you think?

ign posted this like a month ago (GOTY awards)



Well I can deal with GOTY choice but I would have chosen either Assassin's Creed II or Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. But either of the three are good choices.

But that's not what I take issue with haha. First and foremost, how best story went to Uncharted 2 is just beyond me. There are loads of better choices, namely Assassin's Creed II. I think they just gave it to it in similar fashion that Oscars give out some stuff. But I don't agree with it nor their choice for it in overall excellence in sound. Second best strategy game being Halo Wars over the likes of Empire: Total War is frustrating. Finally best downloadable game I would not have given to Shadow Complex. Fat Princess or Flower or Splosion Man seemed like better choices to me.


Other than that I think it was a pretty good list. And no I didn't spoil the GOTY.

OH yea and almost forgot to mention that overall best shooter I personally just disagree with off the back. But my nominee isn't even there which is Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. It's hard to be the underdog that no one played and win these awards haha. Unless the award givers are but crazy for you like they were with World of Goo last year.



NSMB Wii was the best game of the year!

I appreciate so much the title but nowadays, reviewers don't consider this as a great games. It needs incredible graphics, story, and not pure platform like Mario Bros Wii.

But it won Best Platformer and Best Family Game. It should have also won Best Multiplayer instead of .... wtf L4D2

Incredible graphics? Incredible story? Well the first is supersceded already for Uncharted 2 so you can't take the points they gave the game for 'most incredible graphics' back as there are more incredible graphics somewhere else and as always stories are over-rated. Most video games have poo stories and the ones that do usually don't give you more incentive than to finish the game once. Gameplay is what brings people back and I bet NSMB will age far better than this apparant game of the year winner.

NSMB Wii = best game, best platformer, best multiplayer, and best family game.
