Not a surprise. Disappointed that Dark Souls won nothing, but still, I understand. The game was just not what Demon's Souls was.Oil_rope_bombs

Best Boss Fights.

Portal 2 is a very good game. What's wrong with it?

Its a good game, I enjoyed it for like 6 hours tho. It wasnt amazingly great, like people make it out to be. Its a very good game, and if they made a Portal 3 I will buy it, but Best PS3 Game? Its watever anywyas, I dont really care. They could of gaven Jurassic Park: The Game the Best PS3 game award and I would just LOL at it. My point was that GS trolled us alot this year

I know the score it got here, i meant overall, because it's surprising seeing Zelda, a flagship Nintendo title, getting beaten by a newcommer, so to speak. It 10 on most other sites, and 93/100 on Metacritic though.

Year of the PC confirmed. Sorry cows all your pointless moaning accomplished nothing but make you all look like a**holes. Not one PS3 exclusive made it on that list. Loving the damage control in here, keep it up. Even the 360, which you guys said had the worst year came out way ahead of you with Gears 3 as an exclusive best shooter and the goty isn't even playable on your system. Viva la PC/360. Down with the cows!

I'm looking at a lot of their awards and I don't think I agree with 95% of them. The only one I did agree with was best arsenal, the rest were eh. The best puzzles award was a disappointing award as well. Batman, Zelda, and Ghost Trick all had great and unique puzzles. Portal 2 was a great game, and the puzzles felt clever, but they never felt original or too different from Portal 1. Speaking of that, Portal 2 came out with like 50% of the awards this year (even if it didn't get GOTY). It's a great game and all, one of the best this year I suppose, but I feel like it's a tad overrated. It lost some of it's charm and originality Portal 1 had.

I'm not surprised that Skyrim won.

I haven't played that many games this year. Need to play Rayman, Zelda, Ghost Trick, Bastion, Gears 3 and next year Xenoblade. :)

Seriously that 7.5 to Zelda SS was pretty entertaining. That Hyped thread got to over 10,000 posts, of course not all of it was towards the 7.5 review but a good number of it was towards it.

People here discredit everyone and anyone who's not them or they don't approve of. It's so stupid. What makes one website less credible than another? Is there some degree or college that they went to that makes them more credible than anyone else?

Anyways, enjoy whatever the hell you want and many others will do the same. Doesn't matter anyways, GOTY is opinion based and subective. Many would say nay others would say yay. That is how the world works, sad but true. :(

I can dig it. Although I think Arkham City is a slight notch above it.drinkerofjuice

Same, Skyrim was good enough to deserve an award, but I think Arkham City would be my own pick.

It's really not an opinion. The combat system is boring and lacks any real sense of impact to the point that it manages to make killing dragons boring, professions and skills have no depth whatsoever, the magic system is so dumbed-down it may have well been designed for five year olds, the game is buggy, the story sucks, the dialogue is pretty poor, the characters still move like robots, and the list goes on. The only thing the game does well is the sense of exploration it provides. That's it.
