i didn't necessarily think that skyrim deserved GOTY last year, but I understood why it won. this year, on the other hand, was a TOTAL JOKE. this is the 2004 election of game of the year awards.
because I guarantee you that the walking dead got the LEAST amount of votes from the public. the fact that it was nominated should have been a good enough signal that there was unscrupulous bias going on behind the scenes because most people were scratching their heads, as to why...
in all seriousness, anyone who says the the xbox has a better exclusive library is living in a fantasy world.
going by metascores, the PS3 has over twice as many AAA and AA exclusives than the 360 (and really there are alot of underrated PS3 games). even most 360 fanboys have accepted this fact, by now. its not 2006 anymore
here are 6 reasons
1) I have too much money on my hands. i would really like to spend $60 for a service that the PC and PS3 offer for free
2) i dont want to complicate things with an extensive library of diverse exclusives. the same 3 franchises every year makes things lot more manageable
3) i like having a console that shreds my games if I bump it. it teaches discipline
4) i like having games on 2 or 3 disks. Disk swapping brings me ...
it probably would be a good idea. Insomniac (who is my favorite developer ever, by the way), hasn't been doing so hot lately, and I dont have alot of hope for "fuse" after they ruined the art style and give it a crappy name. Insomniac needs to get their shit together.
ignore the games that havent come out yet. the ones that have scores are the ones to pay attention to
I have all the exclusives laid out in this spreadsheet for the year. decide for yourself
they have their metascores, though obviously metacritic isnt always great to go by. some scores might be off, because alot of times late reviews come in and change the average, but its pretty updated

its because people dont want a $60 yearly fee compounded with their netflix fee (xbox), and they dont want to use a console that has unreliable wireless (wii).
ive been telling people since last year that farcry 3 will be shooter of the year and that "farcry3 >>>> halo 4 and BO2." i know my shooters
this guy is bashing edge magazine for bashing black ops? that is probably the one thing I have ever agreed with edge magazine about. you arent going to call them out for their 7/10 they gave killzone 2? that was when most people with half a brain realized how cringingly biased they are.
you're going to complain that gamespot gave resident evil 6 a bad score? that game completely deserved it on every level and many many other reviewers agreed.
yeah, this a...
multiplayer would be kickass. it would be a good break from the generic military shooters. it would be like uncharted in first person
whenever I heard of this game, I knew there would be reviewers who would bash it simply because it isnt SSB, regardless of the game's merits. we all knew that there would be inevitable fanboy reviews. and this is the epitome of such a review
anyone who knows metro's track record should have seen this score coming from a mile away, given the fact that they are massive nintendo fanboys and typically rate PS3 games way below the metascore.
im glad I stopped taking gamespot reviews seriously a long time ago. otherwise I would have missed out on tons of great games
well I have a few hats to eat now, if you'll excuse me
reviewers have been making a concerted effort lately to erode all of their credibility
i dont know why everyone is all of a sudden "the halo formula is getting old and halo 4 doesnt bring enough new stuff to the table"
first of all, where were these people when halo reach came out? oh yeah. they were hailing it as the messiah of FPS games. come on guys, halo 4 utterly destroys halo reach.
secondly, alot of these people are the same ones who bash games like Resistance 3 for changing things up. they say that games that are different wit...
Tom is simply a view whoring, hipster wannabe scumbag. there is no denying the fact that he goes out of his way to rate popular games poorly and unpopular games absurdly high. Just look at his Journey review from earlier this year. he has no credibility as a reviewer whatsoever. but he is only being true to his nature, as a cretinous, pretentious stooge.
the people I really worry about are his entourage of fanboys who defend his reviews as if they actually present a sincere a...
this game wipes the floor with deus ex human revolution, to be honest.
also, this game has much better combat than assassin's creed.
youre dead to me, square. you really are

"(insert 90s game here) is overrated. here's why"
and boom. instant flame war
its a good game, but it isnt GOTY material and im not the only one who thinks that. after all, it is the LEAST critically acclaimed out of all the games on the list (metascores in the low 80s) and of any VGA GOTY IN HISTORY. it doesnt reflect publican opinion or gaming journalism's opinion. it is pure fanboy bias on the judge's part
its also incredibly hypocritical given that fact that they snubbed heavy rain a nomination back in 2010. a game that was higher reviewed...
