It is a tough choice but I have all the games considered and I have only played one since it released...skyrim. I am sure the witcher 2 has better combat and overall production value as Bethesda never really emphasizes certain moments over others like bioware does. But, it creates the greatest open world RPG ever made. I cannot wait for the switcher on the 360. Graphics wont b as good but the gameplay and story will b the same. So for me, my goty in a phenomonal year is the one i cannot stop ...

I am afraid we r gonna see a minimal upgrade, a console w better specs. I think Microsoft should release a gaming computer that rivals the PC. It will come w a windows 8, Xbox os hybrid w the ability to upgrade. I think Sony should go all digital, sinking money into the best specs possible. It will b cheaper to build and sell and games could b sold cheaper. It is a risk but imagine if one game was $20 cheaper on one system.

How long will consoles stand up to PC's w new s...

No, it is a testament to how many of us gamers have settled for the bare minimum. It is sad too. Expect next years cod to b the same engine as black ops, same generic story etc. As long as they are breaking records, they will spend little and improve even less. Yes, I like battlefield much more and I am happy that they attempted to push the boundaries with a new engine etc, but they didn't go far enough either. Here's to hoping that rice's next iteration will try new game modes, s...

Dude, I feel ya. I'm 40 hours in and haven't left whiterun yet. I just went to high Hrothgar but I'm going back to companion quests. I have left to go do quests but I'm not leaving until I can finish everything I am able to from this city. Its amazing because I work alot and have amazing games sitting on my shelf and I find myself spending hours and hours collecting loot, smugging, enchanting and building potions. I am very happy because I am only a level 20 & everything i...

Very good. A few questions though. Skyrim isn't nominated for original score, xbox360 category has multi platform titles, Batman is nominated for graphics and battlefield isn't, if i remember correctly. B3 on PC is the winner hands down, but U3 is the winner for consoles w rage a very close 2nd. Batman isn't even close. And how can a sequel be original? Shouldn't original games b considered?

Goty is soo difficult. How do i determine my personal goty when the...

Its simple. AC revelations is suffering from release date timing. Had it released in September, I beloved it may have gotten more 9's. Fromwhat i have read, its the best plot, the graphics r better, all the great things from previous entries are there, but there's a few aspects should have been scrapped. I've read that the MP is back and better than before and that we get all the answers we wanted. So, what's the problem?

Here's the problem. It isn't a...

This dude needs to get lid again and then put out to pasture...without reproducing. I like singularity very much. I actually really liked the MP but no one played it. That being said, I liked it because of its similarities to bioshock. Unfortunately, its major flaw is that it cannot recreate that initial feeling of entering rapture for the first time, or playing in rapture at all. The blend of storytelling, fps, cameras, little sisters, plasmids, and big daddies is masterful, and 2nd to none....

Ppl do not play the f%$# out of cod single player. Many never play it. And while i think b3 should not have made a cod like campaign, they did it because of the rave reviews they always get and the fact that it allowed them to show off graphics and create great set pieces. I get it, it was fun 1 time and it did deserve to get a thrashing for being generic. On the flip side, it got no love for the amazing graphics and realistic tone it created. Cod releases a rehash from 4 years ago and everyo...

The most amazing thing is that all the major players ultimately gave it a great review. They all cave and hold it to a lower standard. Any other game that recycles environments and makes tiny improvements w no improvement to campaign or graphics would get murdered by ign and game informer but not cod. This is why user reviews xo matter to me. I cannot trust the others. B3 makes a campaign lime cod and gets killed for it. But, cod r geniuses for doing the same thing. In the words of Berman, cm...

I agree w the review. U would seriously have to b biased not to see the extraordinary work that naughty dog did. If u have a problem w the gameplay, play it on crushing. It actually seems to shine on this difficulty. There r no melee prompts and u can feel just how much danger u r in. The horseback sections r amazing to me, as noother game gives u such control amidst an action sequence. I do wish that they had implemented some boss fights, and the lack of enemy variety is inexcusable for a ga...

I agree. B3 on PC is a 9.5...period. it is jaw dropping, the multiplayeris the best to date and the sp isn't terrible, despite opinions. It is a refined cod campaign that garneshed praise a few yrs ago. Is it innovative and refreshing,no, but its what we expect and doesn't diminish the experience. On console, it is a 9. Its the best online to date and one of the best looking games on console. Crysis is an 8.5. It looks good but not as good as battlefield and the multiplayer isn't ...

Thank you for an honest review. For ps3 standards, this game is gorgeous. And despite the player count and map size,it is thebest multiplayer to date. Ironically,it also helps it stand toe to toe w cod. Alot of cod fans would b turned off by 64 players and huge maps. Great job dice.

Hits man, hits...but u know that. It just seems that all the other reviews say one thing and then there is this one. I cannot imagine that in any reviewers mind that this game is an 8. They will squabble between 9 &10 but an 8 is rediculous. Not one review haa even hinted that this game lives in u2's shadow.

My guess is that he had just met a beautiful woman when he played u2 & that he just found her in bed with his best friend hours before playing u3. In his mind...

I do actually know a few ppl who canceled their pre order and not for mw3, just because of the number of other great games releasing. I believe though, that they will all ultimately get it. My only concern was the graphics. The gameplay is amazing but it didn't look any better than bfbc2 to me on the one map we were provided. I heard about a texture pack and w something similar for rage, i got excited, but i guess at 2 gb install, it isn't going to b like Rage. I guess w all the hype,...

I don't understand. Rage did so many things so very right. It was actually quite refreshing in many regards. It was gorgeous...on console it was stunning. The AI was quite unique and the animations were second to none. Yes, it wasn't fleshed out. It added RPG elements but didn't follow through on its supposed intended trajectory. I was somewhat disappointed but very hopefuls for future games. It was still a great experience and not ur typical 8 hour fps as every other game seems t...

This is rediculous. Do I wish they included everything w the game? Yes. In a down economy, r companies at war w those who sell used copies? R they responsible for answering to shareholders...yes. is this a popular, successful franchise that is attempting to maximize profits? Yep! Will i boycott? No way!!! How many of these ppl have spent money on stupid dlc or overpaid for stupid dlc? How many of these ppl want the best games they can get but don't want to purchase a game that has receive...

Ok. Good explanation.all I know is that rage was jaw dropping for a console player and if it helps battlefield 3 look closer to the expectations they set, ill b happy. Yes, i know they only promised heaven to PC owners but we take that as if battlefield 3 will at least surpass previous console benchmarks such as killzone 3 or crysis 2. Maybe its unrealistic to expect it to look like rage but damn, rage had alot going on, it was an fps and it ran at 60 fps. If frostbite 2 is really that good, ...

Didn't Rage just use the same technique. Carmack said there would b a super texture pack that streamlined from the HD. The ps3 installed 8gb so i imagine someone hasn't done this already& did it well as rage is gorgeous. And it does give longevity to consoles as the step up in graphics at 60fps for rage is quite noticeable. If this has the same impact on battlefield 3, it will b stunning and i will b loving it.

Its the first, or second one I got, to get out of the way & I'm glad it isn't like crysis 2 b/c I'm 3 weeks over 6 months and it isn't popping and its my last trophy. As a hint, feast of St. Roch is August 16th. Calenderman is quite sadistic, especially father's day, lol. And, its gonna take a bit to plat for 2 reasons, there's a ton of content & i can't seem to make any progress because i just keep traveling around and kicking a$%!. I love how got feels l...

I am not disregarding them at all. They are phenomonal games and will both win awards but we both know forsake, while most likely the best racing game ever crafted will not Garner many goty awards...I don't think. I love gears, and am having alot of fun w itbut based on all around scores it looks as though Batman may catapult ahead of it. And in my opinion, u3 and skyrim will most likely also receive many 10s and battle for top spot. I personally think that battlefields situation is too c...
