Grand Theft Auto V, Hitman Absoultion and Mass Effect 3

The Simspsons Game

Dead Rising 2

Saints Row 2

Saints Row The Third

Mabye the will do San Andreas as well, they might my making a GTA HD Trilogy

I picked up the original HAWX cheap the other day, i love it, the online is dead but the single player is fun:D, the ground maps are made from real satilte images, the only bad thing is when you fly up close the buildings and tree's are not very detailed but it is a flying game and not a racing game, and if you are really desperate, you can bomb disney land if you really want to.

If you like Open World games, you can't go past Saint's Row The Third, also make sure you try Mass Effect 2, both deserved game of the year in my opinion, unfortunatley there was no GOTY competion in 2011 becaues of Skyrim (not dissing it as i haven't played it).

What is everyone's top 10 games of all time?

There's a reason why Mario games continue to net such high scores and praise. It's because they continue to do great things in both its genre and franchise. Mario games offer terrific level design and fantastic controls, and for the most part a perfect gradually increasing difficulty. True, they never really "change", because it's all about getting the princess back, but jumping from obstacle to obstacle is still as fun on current gen Marios as it has been on the NES. There are very few platformers out there that get all the components right like Mario games consistently do, which is something that's held the Tomb Raider franchise back.

You might think Tomb Raider games are more deserving of better scores, but to instantly accuse GS of bias is, as Kevin put it, a common tool to discredit them. You are unfortunately in the minority, because the vast majority of the gaming community doesn't hold Tomb Raider in the same high regards as you. Do you see what I'm trying to say here? You need to realize that reviewers do not review games to make you happy. They review games to tell you what they think of them. If you think they need to agree with you all the time, then they wouldn't be doing their jobs right.

As for giving MGS 4 a 10, the same debate comes up with any game that ever got a 10 here, and it's always the same. A 10 does not mean a PERFECT game. No game is perfect, because there's always something that can be improved upon. The 10 just means this is the best possible game of its kind that you can get. It's a cap on a ratings scale, and if you were to remove the 10 because you think no game can achieve it, then 9.5 becomes the new perfect score. Well, no game can achieve a perfect score, so it slides down to 9.0, and so on. As for the excessive cutscenes, the franchise has always been narrative-heavy, and MGS games are highly revered for their story telling, so a higher cutscene to gameplay ratio might not be considered a negative by many. MGS simply isn't for you if you want to play a game more than you'll watch it. Not GS's fault that it's not your cup of tea.

Mario Games never really change, thank you for being honest there but they don't get complaints about it like Tomb Raider Underworld did even thoug Tomb Raider Underworld gave a fresh experience. Call of Duty Modern Warfare is also the same but offers a fresher experience then Mario, the CoD experience comes from the multiplayer thouhg while Mario comes from the single player.

Ok i can admit the MGS4 10 isn't perfect then (mentioning that i would like to state that i rated Uncharted 3 a 10, that was because i wanted a 9.8 but it only lets you go from 9.5-10. I am not saying that the cutscene thing is a bad thing but should be addressed the same was as the platforming to gunplay ratio in Duke Nukem Forever, some people might enjoy the platforming (I haven't played it but i have watched the reviews). This is from watching reviews not playing the games, i was turned off buying MGS4 becaues someone told me about the cutscee thing actually, i was going to buy it at the boxing day sales because i like stealth games.

So...What exactly are they biased against? Games that you think should score better?spazzx625

[QUOTE="ps3gameplayer"]

On GameSpot's scoring scale, a 10 does not mean that a game is perfect. And of course it has to be possible for games to score a 10, otherwise we wouldn't be using our entire scale.

As for the cutscene/gameplay ratio in MGS4 being a bad thing, that's your opinion, but clearly it wasn't the opinion of our reviewer. That's OK. Different people like different things.

[QUOTE="ps3gameplayer"]

As for Cod, just google 'Call of Duty is the same every year' or something similar and you will see how many others agree, Mario games have always been the same with updated graphics and yes i have played them and for FIFA, i should have said most sports games in general.

On CoD: Your assertion that lots of other people agree with your opinion doesn't in any way make your opinion more valid than that of our reviewer. In keeping with your earlier suggestion, he is a fan of both the series and genre, and evidently he wasn't quite as disappointed by MW3 as I assume you were.

On Mario: Which Mario games have you actually played? To say that new games offer nothing more than "updated graphics" seems overly dismissive for a series that, to name just a few titles, has given us Super Mario World on the SNES, Super Mario 64 on the N64 (which was massively innovative in its time), and Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii. While it's not a favorite of mine, the quite different Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube is also deserving of a mention I guess.

On FIFA/Sports: My earlier point stands. Regardless of which sport a games company is working with, they're obviously constrained by its rules to some extent.

And for the Mafia II and GTA IV, while the dates were not mandatory, they were for 100% percent completion, and most of the time the Mafia II mundane tasks were a simple tap of the triangle/Y button while in GTA IV (i'm not saying it is a bad game by the way, i have completed it 4 times, but a little disappointing when compared to San Andreas and instead of starting huge forums like others i have seen on the internet i just play San Andreas as well as GTA IV) you had to drive half way across town, pick up your date, drive them somewhere and drive back to where you had to pick them up from.

All i am saying that the 'the bad' section in reviews should state more cutscenes than gameplay, i fail to see how that is a good thing seing though it is a game, but in the sake of not being biased i am not saying it is a bad thing but you point it out in the review the same way you point out that in Duke Nukem Forever you spend more time platforming than shooting.

The Tomb Raider Underworld review i found very unfair, the clipping issues are not as bad as the review makes out (at least not on my copy (PS3)), sure the camera can be annoying at time but it stopps you from seeing outside the game world, the sonar map is not uselss and i have found myself having to use it several times, complaiting about weapons in tiny backpack, you don't play many open world games don't you. The Story is not forgettable, you need to have played legend to understand it (good thing i picked up the trilogy) just like you had to play the earlier metal gear games to understand. As for CoD/Mario/Sports games, i should have stated before that i understand sports games have nothing much to build on, i have played all Mario games on DS and some on the Wii and GBA as for CoD i am refering to the modern warfare games, they are not bad but the do not change much and Tomb Raider Underworld certainly changed more than CoD Modernwarfare 2 and 3.

There is also something new i would like to add, the Saints Row 2 review it pretty much start's comparing it to GTA, why not review it like a whole new game?
