I personally thought the PS3 did a better job of showcasing Exclusive titles when compared to the 360. However in the REAL WORLD where fanboys don't harp on "teh Exclusives".. The 360 did an outstanding job on the software front. I also find GS's picks for GOTY and other categories questionable.. but then again that's GS's opinion and this is GS's forums. I will say to the fanboys bashing other formites for questioning GS's picks to realize that everyone has opinions. And there's no law preventing people or fanboys from expressing theirs..

lol me too. sad year to be a 360 only gamer.

How so? There is only one game for the PS3 I am interested in, and that's not enough to warrent shelling out $400.

I'm really surprised about that. The PS3 has like ZERO good games, and the supply of exclusives is limited. I think the glory days of when Playstation 2 was out is over for Playstation.

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!?II_Seraphim_II
Much like how the cows have whined, and cried when review scores don't go their way? Constant topics about how GS is pro MS, and anti Sony, and have no clue what they're talking about? Now when the PS3 takes most of the awards this year, all of a sudden GS is now an awsome site, and they know what they're talking about?

so because no exclusive game was in the "best 360 game" category on this site that means 360 had a sad year LOGIC FAIL

and all the lemmings are doing the whining and complaining now and their only poor excuse is "well GS is just trying to win back the ps3 owners" when in reality they cannot accept the fact that the ps3 did in fact win 2008

I think it's funny hardcore lems like to say "OMG GS is bias has no credibility" when they gave 06 and 07 to the 360 so much and gave it so much credit, and even this year with the whole graphics comparison it's just really funny to watch. And GS does have a lot of credibility in the "real world" trust me. Just face it lems PS3 did an amazing job this year.

Aah, I get it. I must be a cow because I bashed Gears 2? Lol, hilarious logic. I don't even own a PS3 pal, try again. And yeah, Haze is just as trashy and generic, except it flopped like Floppy said.

Forgive the misconception, but when one openly bashes an highly acclaimed 360 title on a pro-PS3 thread, how do you expect others to react?

Well maybe some people just have better taste in games instead of Generic Shooter #531, regardless of what console they own? (360 btw, and Fable II deserves far more praise than Gears 2)

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Braid is exclusive...SpruceCaboose

Rumors are going around that Braid might come to the PSN

http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/formats/xbox360/braid-ps3-depends-on-sony-interest-$1256706.htm

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 confirmed for PC. It's not exclusive.

Are you still playing SSBB and/or SMG?RuinedMachine
No luckily I allow myself to play games that aren't just AAA. And owning a console != being a fanboy. By calling every console owner a fanboy, you come off as a fanboy yourself.

It's always fun to see the Lemmings opinion change like the wind. The PS3 is a superior system and will continue to be next year as well. I cannot wait to read in here after next years awards and PS3's fantastic 09 lineup. The fact of the matter is Microsoft better announce a new console this year to stay in the game. I know far to many people who have begun the shift towards PS3 and away from 360 and I am talking die hard ex Lemmings. I am fortunate enough to have all three but Wii and 360 would be the first to go if I had to get rid of systems.

How can two things be first? And wouldn't they be the last things to go too? Since you can't get rid of any more consoles.

what? is english a second language for you? The Wii and 360 would be first to go in no specific order and I would still have a PS3 to get rid of if need be. I am talking major financial disaster here where it was a gaming or eating decision. You really needed that to be explained? wow heaven help this next generation.

I hate how some people complain that GS screwed that Best Graphics - Technical award but agree wholeheartedly at GS whenever they underrate a great game by giving it a bad score to piss fanboys.

Just because a single game got all the awards for GOTY does not mean that the console did the best of the three. The 360 had games like Fable 2, and the Wii had games like Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario kart Wii, and No More Heroes. It's really just a matter of personal opinion.

Awwright dewd:lol: :lol: "I herd dat so people be jumpin to da ps3 mayne!!" " I kno liek 2 ppl who gunno buy da ps3! 360 iz doomed!!11!1"

Youre clearly in love with your ps3 right why even waste the time in owning all three? Hell you even made up you mind on how ps3 will have the best year in 09 right? :lol:

Go ahead and get rid of your supposed 360 and wii, after all youd be doing yourself a favor it seems.
