So, let's examine this closer, and take out the fanboy:

CoD4: Not exclusive, you have no proof that it's at all better on the 360. also, wouldn't it be GOTY for all platforms, like a shared GOTY?

Assassain's Creed: Same as above

Mass Effect: I don't think this will be GOTY, it isn't exactly revolutionary... U must have the final version of the game :roll:

Bioshock: On PC as well, and the PS version has less errors, and MODS.. uhhh??

Guitar Hero 3/Rock Band: Same as CoD4 and Assassain's Creed...

Halo 3: Maybe, but it won't deserve it, as it's just a generic average shooter... u're just a sony fanboy hating on something that u haven't never play.

The Wii does have SSBB, but that's never been an AAA franchise, and SMG has a half decent chance, but...

PS3:

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune please prove this will be AAA

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Folklore please prove this will be AAA

A lot more that always evades my memory... The PS3 has a lot of great exclusives coming out.

LOL right back at you. I'm not a fanboy, if I thought the 360 was better and will win the war overall, I'd support that, but I look at the evidence and form my own conclusions.

Mass Effect: I don't have to have the final version of the game to know what it's like, just watch some of the gameplay videos...

Bioshock: The PC version, after the launch activation problem, has been quite error free, but GS said the 360 versionfroze every few seconds after a while, which IMO is worse than audio problems...

Halo 3: The first 2 were overrated, and why shouldn't this one be? Halo didn't earn it's name, it doesn't deserve AAA. I've played them, I know. And how do you know for sure I didn't play the Epsilon of Halo 3? You don't.

Uncharted: I'm not saying it will be, I'msaying it's got a shot, so does every exclusive game, and I think it might be AAA, I don't have to prove anything.

Folklore: Same as above.

So: Not a fanboy.

I find it a little disguting the amount of Halo hating on forums GameSpot imparticular. I can understand why people might think Halo is just another generic FPS, but it's really not. Halo has something that unless you play it extensively, you really can't discover. It's just the way aiming feels, the overall presentation, the sheer polish, and that bang-up intensity of some of the battles. The full scale fights with vehicles flying overhead, men on the ground fireing away, warthogs being flipped by well placed covenant granades. THAT is something no other game can do as well EXCEPT for Halo.

Halo has a really great storyline, no joke. If you invest a little of your mind to watch and underdstand the cutscenes, and the radio trasmissions, you see Bungie has made a glorious Sci-fi epic. There is real story here, and dispite Halo 2's cliffhanger ending, on the whole it really was a good story that branched everyhting out. It also let the war become a little more black and white, rather than just you killing the Covenant.

Halo also has a wonderful art style that allows full fledged war to also be pleasing to the eye, alomost beautiful. Seeing the bend of Halo's ring on the horizon really strikes a sense of awe upon you. Halo's soundtrack is also one of the best in gaming, ambience and booming orchestra tracks when it's appropriate. A good soundtrack is something a lot of FPS's sort of miss.

So what else is there to say? Halo has perfect 10's and 9.8's for a reason: IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD. It's not overrated, it's popular because it's GOOD. Halo 2 was excellent as well, it didn't get a 9.4 and a 9.8 at IGN for nothing. Hopefully some fanboys will read this and maybe understand, Halo really has quality, and a lot of it.

Sorry 'bout the long post, I hope everyone at least makes an attempt to read it! :(
