For me at least all the results were totally unexpected except for one patapon award.

Anyhow it is surprising to see how PS3 games have won a lot of awards and Xbox360 won nothing comparatively.

Most shocking award for me was "Best technical graphics" as Crysis-warhead is clearly much more technically superior in graphics to MGS4.

What are your suggestions?

I'll tell you one thing for sure, the GS awards have resulted in a lot more crying and whining in these boards. The ironic thing is that the people who make threads complaining about the GS awards then proceed to claim that GS is a joke and their awards dont matter....then why make the thread in the first place!?

GS awards are total BS. Anyone with half a brain would realize that Crysis Warhead is technically the better looking game when compared to MGS4.

Well, to be fair, I have had the same low opinion of GameSpot since the Kane & Lynch thing, and I have routinely disagreed with many of their reviews across all the platforms.

I'm usually not one to play scores, but...

360 has more than enough AA games to fill the page..

While the PS3 didn't receive enough to fill the entire page.

It's up to each individual to decide which console is more appealing, but to say the PS3 had SUCH a better year than the 360 is absolutely comical. Especially when more 360 games had higher ratings on this site.

I have been here too long, haven't I? I am wondering if Gears 2 was too late to make the cut or why it was left off. Seems a pretty glaring omission though, seeing as it was the 360's huge game this holiday.

Yes but as with every game on every console/platform games are judged by what the hardware is capable of. So while Crysis does look better than any game out there but it isn't as accessible as just popping a disc into your console. Should Crysis have won? Probably, I'm not the one who makes the decisions at GS but MGS4 is still impressive considering it runs on a GPU that is about 5 years old in the PC world. Most of the people complaining probably never played or can't play Crysis anyway.

That's mainly because XLBA killed it this year, it had a lot of AA/AAA games. Where as it seemed like every DL game for the PS3 recieved an A score. (Still don't see how Wipeout HD scored a 7.5, meh)

Huh? So you're happy with 2 more AAA games and 10 less AA games? That's perfectly okay I guess. You have fun playing those two games, now.

How many games a year do you buy?

If we all went by the logic that only AAA's are worth our cash, most of us would sit around bored for most of the year.

He's probably still watching the cutscenes. The PS3 would have had alot more multiplats if they weren't so inferior to the 360 version. But anyways, this is another, "only on System Wars". Multiplats don't count as games on System Wars but in the real world they are some of the highest rated and highest selling games for both the 360 and PS3.

Yeah, I'm always hesitant about buying PSN games because of the reviews, most of them are better than what the review says though. Siren and Wipeout are definitely AA to me.

WAIW

Tell that to the guy that only cares about AAA games.

And how many games I purchase makes no difference seeing as I don't own a 360 or a PS3.

The fact is the 360 has more highly rated games this year.

I don't care which console is better, or which one has more games, or which one is the shiniest...

But I don't understand how some people can say the 360 has had a terrible year.

Gamespot- "One of the arguments we often hear leveled against the PS3 is that it doesn't have as many great exclusive games as the competition, but the fact that only two of our top five PS3 games of the year can be played elsewhere makes a compelling case to the contrary."

Yes they are trying to win back cows, and also they are trying to remedy all of "Lemspot" etc.

I highly doubt they are basing their contenders on quality.

Rumor != fact. And its not out on PSN or PC yet, thus making it exclusive to the 360. End of argument for now.

it's exclusive to 360 till it's confirmed otherwise, so for the sake of this thread it's exclusive, theres a rumor going around that the human race will die out in 2012, do you believe that? let's just hope that one does not get confirmed

Nice one... no, it wasn't really cool.

He's probably playing Mario Kart, MP3, maybe a little Zelda, No More Heroes, SMG, SSBB, Animal Crossing, maybe a little Wii (insert title here), and multiplats.
