Anyone else notice how BioWare reminds everybody about Mass Effect just in time for all the GOTY noms? Probably is GOTY TBH, can't wait for ME3 either...

NecrumSlavery5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

Actually the highest rated HD shooters are:
Killzone 2 - 91
Crysis - 91

@Troll_Police:
Highest rated shooter of all time
Halo: Combat evolved - 97% Metacritic
Half-Life 2: 96% Metacritic
Orange Box: 96% Metacritic
Bioshock: 96% Metacritic
Uncharted 2 - 96% Metacritic
Seems like Uncharted 2 only ties for the second place...

@NecrumSlavery
Assuming you're only considering *first person* shooters Uncharted doesn't count, but then you're even more far off:
Bioshock, The Orange Box, Modern Warfare 1+2, Halo 3 - All Scored > 91% so they're higher rated then Crysis and Killzone 2.

But why are we doing this anyway?

FinalSpartan5626d ago

Yeah your right i don't even know what troll police is talking about.

Mass Effect 2 wasn't game of the anything, it wasn't even that great. ME1 was much better.

Quagmire5627d ago

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood should be on that list. Also another high scoring game of this year.

TimmyShire5627d ago

I guess they just took the scores from their highest scoring of the year, rather than in general. I think ACB got 9.something, I guess a low 9 though.

femshep5627d ago

as much as i loved assassin's creed brotherhood and still play the multiplayer i can't count it cause it is just the expansion of AC2 the part they could have put in but didn't....but it totally made me want AC3 so they can finish the plot line now

just like Halo odst couldn't win cause it was considered an expansion

fastrez5627d ago

Mass Effect 2, definitely GOTY in a lot of people's books I'd wager.

samuraiX5627d ago

Fanboys playing with scores rather than games.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast517d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine517d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast517d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman517d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast517d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman517d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

DustMan765d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave765d ago (Edited 765d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
