Sauce

All right, lets discuss this list for a second. I, for one, agree with most of it: GotY, best multiplayer, best PC game, best graphics, best Wii and Xbox 360 game, best RPG, best handheld game. I can't say anything about best PS3 game seeing as how I haven't played Uncharted but Ratchet and Clank is certainly a contender.

With action game, I think they merged the platformer/action/adventure genres together. If that is the case, then I am behind the decision of SMG 100%. I can also see how people would see CoD4 as best over all shooter.

To me, most of the games awarded in each category deserved to win. All in all, this is a pretty fine list, but the only one I have issues with is the last one. It is just one of those "what the hell" things.

this was already posted http://nexgenwars.com/forum/general-...es-vgas-6.html
also I agree most of the list. except the last one, WTF!

[Dax]

I think it deserves its own thread.

[PirateThom]

Yeah, this way the winners are the first post, makes it easier to find.

Also, Uncharted should have won something, such as PS3 game.

[lol_pc]

I agree with most though I think that Mass Effect is the best 360 game this year, and that the best PS3 game this year was Warhawk

[Aeron]

Ain't these the same people who put all 360 games for GOTY nomination and none from other platforms?

I agree, Uncharted should have edged Ratchet and Clank for best PS3 game.

I can see why they'd vote for Halo 3 for best multiplayer (though I still think CoD4's is better), but CoD4 already won another category so this is probably their way of not getting roasted on a spit by rabid Halo fanboys around the world.

They might as well have called it "Best game heavily sponsored by Mountain Dew" cause it's not like anything other than Halo would have won that one.

Personally I am glad Halo 3 won best multiplayer. The matchmaking system in CoD4 isn't all that great, it doesn't have any of the awesome features that make Halo 3 great, and plus the maps are all way too similar.
