Neither Gears 3 nor Forza 4 nominated for IGN's game of the show.

What happend to quality over quantity?.

There were way too many awesome games at E3. Not surprised that neither of them got anything.

E3 is a demo show thats all.

Bigger crime is Skyrim didnt win anything.

Lots of great games from all systems but for me the game of the show was Tomb Raider, its came a hell of way from the older games. Im interested in the Hitman game but all I seen was the Cutscene and I personally dont believe any game that doesnt show fully playable demo should be considered for game of the show. Im not saying Hitman didnt have this but surely any game thats up for this award should be well... playable??

ign didn't want thesuper suprise 9 they will get to be spoiled. :P

So? Is this supposed to mean something?cloudff7tm

Gears 3 / Forza 4 aren't GOTY worth games anyways. Save from the first in 2006, when nothing else was around (:

lol they put Bioshock Infinite best PC game. They must have avoided BF3.

The list is so ridiculous inconsistent anyways.

Gears of War 3 is not nominated for "Best Overall Game", but it is the "Most Anticipated Game" so yeah.

lol they put Bioshock Infinite best PC game. They must have avoided BF3.

Grawse

Bioshock Infinite looks beyond incredible. As excited as I am for Battlefield, I think Bioshock deserves GotS more than it.

They picked ME3 over SKYRIM!!!!!!!! Man, IGN ha sstooped to a new low, and lol at them picking Bioshock infinite for 4 times (Best PC, Best 360, Best Shooter, Best overall)

Yikes, and who'd a thunk it, the only two non Kinect games MS has and from this info, I guess this means they'll both be mighty floppy - thank goodness Star Wars Kinect will save the day. :o

Seriously, IGN hasn't much cred when it comes to these kind of things IMO - Well, unless they score both 10/10 upon release. :P

Oh how what used to be loathed is now loved because of a simple decision that you happen to agree with.

So IGN is the pillar of reliable whenever they don't favor MS....next,

Tomb Raider - Not that impressed. Lower grade UC leveraging sexuality to lure teen boys with sounds of female "ohhhh" and "uuuhhh" like women's tennis. Must admit I did get wood.

UC3 - Extreme aesthetics, not my cup of tea, probably deserves an award of some kind.

Gears3 - Yes I'm one of the 5 people left on Earth that never played Gears (have it in my backlog.) I actually cut the demo video off halfway thru because it just wasn't that interesting. Looks cartoony and slow, the characters are oversized, feels like Anime. I'll pass.

Halo4 - Looks very cool, I want to play this. Not extreme graphics but the gameplay is interesting and I like the Halo plot

Infamous2 - Anything under 90+ is a crime against humanity.

Resistance3 - Nice visuals but fairly unremarkable shooter.

Skyrim - Yes it looks cool, yes I liked Oblivion. But we both know it's gonna be alot of walking around forests trying to find something interesting.

ME3 - Morality needs some work. There are moral shades of grey between Charles Manson and Mother Theresa. But yes I will play this.

Forza4 - How is one racing game that different from another? You're still making 500 lefts to win the race. Oh they added Kinect, how nice. Until your arms get tired of holding an imaginary steering wheel. Pass.

MW3 - I was actually amazed at the gameplay, it looked really, really tight.

Zelda - Don't care.

Bioshock - Not into it.

Hitman Absolution - Looks very interesting, like to play it.

Ghost Recon - Totally uninteresting, especially using Kinect.

Kinect Kinect Kinect - I'm not buying it. Ever. Get off my nuts.

Vita - Not buying that either, but the visuals of UC on it were like "wow that looks tight."

Move - Nope. Try again.

Wii-U - I honestly think it will be a big hit. Not my cup of tea but very innovative and cool. Reminds me of Apple products.

That sounds about right.

I don't get the hype behind Tomb Raider, it was just a buch of quick time events and looked really streamlined. Also Lara wouldn't shut up.BigBoss255

Only one nomintaion for Strategy Game?

Gears 3 / Forza 4 aren't GOTY worth games anyways. Save from the first in 2006, when nothing else was around (:

Boohoo, Neon am cry. Two 360 exclusives didn't have the best demoes on the show floor. :roll:

Didn't they have a disclaimer on this list by saying only games that were available to demo were on the list?

If that is legit, it makes perfect sense as to why they are not on it. :D

[QUOTE="cloudff7tm"]So? Is this supposed to mean something?Heil68

Can't say I'm surprised. Both games failed to impress me.

It´s a fact that Gears 3 demo wasnt the best but it probably has nothing to do with the final game. Still i think Forza 4 should be there. Everything about it sounds incredible and it seems to be no better option for racing fans.

cliffy b is so upset he can hardly fall asleep on his giant pile of money at night. poor poor guy.

Seems an odd thing to argue about. Slow news day?

Duh. Gears 3 and Forza 4, more of the same. Lame. Bioshock Infinite. Different and awesome.
