I must say, I don't believe that MW3 should have gotten Shooter of the Year...
However, Skyrim's GOTY award seems well deserved imo..
I havnt played Skyrim yet, but after playing through Skyward Sword I thought Zelda would have won.
I'll probably pick up skyrim when it gets cheaper, I'm not in a hurry. It seems so generic "swords, armor, and dragons" to me. When I say generic, I mean the overall theme. It doesnt excite me. Im sure the gameplay is awesome though.
I thought the exact same thing about it being generic. After buying it, I think it does a good job of being as un-generic as possible. But still on the surface of course it's going to look generic.Originally Posted by jook13
And about the awards, I agree with every single one of their decisions (on the ones I actually care about) which is awesome.
skyrim does have that 'generic' fantasy theme but no other game in history even comes close to achieving the potential of that theme (swords, magic, dragons etc.) its incredible.
i personally agree that mw3 should have won shooter of the year. i dont think a game should lose out on awards because of its franchise history (ie. just another cod game..)
if mw3 was actually call of duty 1 and the previous games had not existed it would have caused a storm, the only bad word against it, is that its similar to the other cod games.
and i think we all know what we can expect to win 'best downloadable game' next year![]()
Glad to see Stephen Merchant and Ellen McLain get recognized. I was so damned impressed by the voice acting and characterization in that game.
Mortal Kombat for BEST fighting game? Really? It's probably the best mortal kombat game, and plenty of fun in its own right, but better than Marvel and KOF? psshhhhh
portal 2 best multiplayer?i know battlefield and cod were hugely over-rated but they are surely better than portal what are these guys smokin?
.
BF and COD certainly have more longevity, but when it comes to sheer awesomeness, Portal 2 takes the cake (pun intendedOriginally Posted by Shockwave). Shooters are a dime a dozen. But there's nothing like solving puzzles with a friend.

Its all about Uncharted 3 winning Best PS3 Game and Best Graphics. Badass game with more awards to add to the series of Uncharted.
Uncharted 1 and 2 both won game of the year with many more awards. KEEP IT UP NAUGHTY DOG!!!
And hots off to Minecraft. Another badass game with another award. NICE!!!
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HDOriginally Posted by WILLYUMZ
Nah, I'm joking around, Trials Evolution is going to be huge. That being said, I am fairly excited for the new Pro Skater game...
And Mass Effect 3 is the most anticipated game? Really? Out of the five games in the vote, I would have guessed that Mass Effect 3 would have been the least anticipated game. Halo, Bioshock, The Last Guardian, Diablo freaking III, and the award goes to Mass Effect![]()
