I still think Donkey Kong Country Returns deserves it more than SMG2 because SMG2 was just more of the same.

Donkey Kong Country Returns completely revamped Donkey Kong Country games and also added a lot of new things. What was SMG2? Simply a sequel that was really similar to the successor, and that can't be said about Donkey Kong Country Returns.

SMG2 scored a 10 for being identical to the first one :roll: It's the "same" but yet so different. It's brilliant.

I agree with this. I was disappointed with Goldeneye, but the rest of the list looks good.

I never said it was identical. I said it was moreof the same. It was like the exact same gameplay with a few things added.

A lot of stupid categories. Also why the hell did Sin and Punishment win in a category called "Best blockbuster of the year" - The only one that applies is COD: Black Ops and I don't think that was even a nominee. Wii GOTY was obvious and the best retro design game .. but DKCR isn't totally like the old ones :?. Oh IGN, you so silly sometimes...er always.

So what does best blockbuster even mean? S&P2 definitely wasn't a blockbuster title. It didn't sell very well nor was the budget for it outlandishly huge. Whatever, just happy to see it win some kind of award.

The whole game was pretty similar to the first. Sequels are usually pretty similar to their successor, but with different levels and a few things added, and that is exactly what SMG2 is; a sequel with not too much changed.

So? if you go by innovation Kirby is way more unique than both donkey kong and mario galaxy, GOTY awards are rewarded to the best game not the most innovative or "original"

I'm suprised Kirby didn't win a single award. Didn't itget a 9/10 on IGN?

Are their nominees for over all game of the year up yet?

So far at kotaku and VGA's SMG2 didn't even make the nominee cut :/

Not like I've ever cared what those sites have said on this matter, I usually go with GS then IGN for GOTY.

Just would like to see it get nominated at least!

SMG2 is only fun. But DKCR is both.

And Goldeneye is original? Goldeneye has better single player, I'll agree. But not multiplayer.

SMG2 scored a 10 for being identical to the first one :roll: It's the "same" but yet so different. It's brilliant.

Calling upon review scores as the basis for an argument? :roll: The awards seem fine, probably not what I would have chosen, but I can understand why those games won.

Looks like a good list. I really didn't like Sin and Punishment 2 and I doubt I will think that Goldeneye has the best multiplayer.

Red Steel 2 was definitley the best pick for "Most innovative game". That game had amazing gameplay. That's how you do motion gaming Ubisoft!
