IGN UK have already gone for Bayonetta, not sure about the main site... Cue the 'this just proves Xbox is better than PS3'/'Xbox wins again'/'Sony fail' etc.

Seems like GT forgot about Vanquish :cry:

Originally it looked like they were gonna be one of it's biggest supporters next to GS. It got nominated in what, two categories? FTW!

And IGN is giving ME2 top honors. No doubt about it...

As TC said, Joystiq's awards are:
1) Mass Effect 2
2) RDR
3) Alan Wake :D :D
Loving the fact that Alan Wake is getting some lovin' and ME2 is being praised. As for IGN, I think they are giving it to ME2 while GB also goes for ME2.


Edit: Xbox360 achievements awards are:

1) Mass Effect 2

2) Halo: Reach

3) Bayonetta :P

Gametrailer's 2007 graphics king was CoD4. Not Crysis, not Uncharted. Call of Duty 4. Yeah that's a load of BS and proves gametrailers stinks.

But ME2 was in fact the best game of 2010.

I remember GT said that SMG2 has a good chance to win, but I think Gametrailers only did that to stop the complaining about BO from being nominated on the Spike VGa's and not SMG2.

I dont pay much attention to reviews these days but gametrailers I have foudn myself agreeing with the most out of the videogame websites.

ME2 is a great pick, for me I think its between ME2 and Starcraft2 personally, but hey RDR is an very good game to.

Honestly, I would have rather seen Black Ops win over ME2. ME2 is just lacking in the gameplay department.

Crysis wasn't nominated for best graphics 2007 from what I remember cause they said they coulden't run it :lol: Then I remember for Assassins Creed 1, all their footage was on low on PC, NO shadows whatsoever, I pretty much figured out GT uses low-end rigs for PC gaming.

VGA's is not a site.And I would not putany credit to their bipolor ruling. VGA best xbox game=Mass Effect 2 VGA Best ps3 game=Heavy Rain. VGA best pc game=Star craft 2. And then VGA goty =....Red Dead redemtion? ....... A multiplate that could not get thr best game awards for ps3 and xbox get GOTY? Makes no sense.

I always like Gametrailer's GOTY awards. They are well produced and if you remove their infatuation with Call of Duty, they are pretty fair. Their nominees and GOTY are pretty much exactly what I would have, except I might switch Civ V with Halo Reach, it's really close.

Yeah, I'm glad someone is showing some love to Alan Wake. But honestly...I didn't think so at first, but the more I play it I'm starting to see Mass Effect 2 as my Game of the Year.

Why would giving the award to a multiplatform game make them biased?

Giving it to MW2, a multiplatform title, doesn't make them biased. It makes them weirdoes.

That's so funny, I would just never think to award ME2 with a GOTY status. I loved the game, thought it was awesome. Still, the stiff animations, planet scanning and hacking mini games were just awful after awhile. Interestingly enough, I rarely found myself wrapped up in the story. Things got intense at the end, but it took that long for me to really get into the characters.

While I agree that the planet scanning was overly tedious, I actually found the Hacking to be a fun component. It was an engaging & interactive puzzle element in how it demanded your observational skills & focus to get the sequence matches (same with the circuit bypassing). Plus the scrolling lines of computer code (albiet tiny but you can definitely get the sense of it) provided good visual representation of what it was supposed to be.

I liked planet scanning because there you get a good reward out of it, you could also upgrade your ship for quicker/more efficient scanning, it would tell you how rich a planet was and it became obvious that the smaller rocky planets were the richest. But I'm sure out of my 32 hour playthrough 2 hours was planet scanning (not all in one of course). Which is probably a bit much for this.

FIipMode
The competition was plenty impressive. Gaming media hopping on one games **** over the others hardly negates the competition.
