I got AC2 this morning, having played it yet though. I have to say i’m surprised its managed to get nominated based off its reviews. And L4D2 is abit of surprise to.

But yeah, out of the all of them UC2 is more deserving. No doubt MW2 will win though.

If it’s not the most deserving winner (Arkham Asylum) then I’d like it to be Uncharted 2. MW2 is the weakest of the five.

Short to. I beat it in about an hour, start to finish ignoring all of the riddles and FMV’s. Though i also knew what i needed to do which probably gave me an edge.

Let me tell you this…if Batman didn’t have all the ridles to solve and discover,using gadgets to have access to some of their locations it would be a very boring game

I’ve played both.. I much prefer U2 over DA.. DA is great for story and all.. but U2 is just soooo much more fun.

Uncharted 2, please.

Batman is fun while it lasts, but the game is as restrictive as all hell, its story is largely non-existent and utterly terrible, and the combat system, while it looks cool, is terribly one dimensional, dull, and repetitive.

Because obviously Dragon Age is better then Uncharted 2, innit.

@Mike, didn’t you just say in another post that you sold your PS3 a while ago? So how do you know Dragon Age is better than, say, Uncharted 2?

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:24:25 +0000

Dragon Age is better than all of them.

I made that point TEA 6 posts in.
It is stupid really I mean what chance has UC when the 360 install base is much higher.

Every Xbot and PS3 fanboy on the net will be insuring there consoles game gets the vote.

Tea,Why do you have so much hatred for this game? Your just anti-hype kinda guy.

As much as I love North’s work on the Uncharted games, Hammill’s Joker was some damned fine voice acting too. It’s got to be one of those two.

Whichever out of those two I don’t care who wins. As long as it’s not MW2. This award ceremony doesn’t matter anymore.
I can’t wait until we get a sequel to Batman AA though because it gave the Batman name justice in the world of video games finally.

A few problems with the voting on Spikes site.

1. Best PC game category DOES NOT INCLUDE Batman:AA as a voting option when it clearly qualifies for the running.

2. Best handheld game category DOES NOT INCLUDE Little Big Planet as an option when it clearly qualifies for the running.

3. Best multiplayer game category DOES NOT INCLUDE Uncharted 2 as a voting option when it clearly qualifies for the running.

4. Best performance human male category DOES NOT INCLUDE Uncharted 2′s Nolan North (did live motion capture and voice acting) or Batman:AA’s Batman (not sure if these would actually qualify though).

These are my only complaints.

I also say Batman:AA or U2 will take GOTY (righfully so).

Then this award ceremony means shit. What a fucking waste man. It’s like letting bank robbers get away because they came out of the bank tossing money in the air while fleeing.

This whole game industry is corrupt man. Can’t I just enjoy one thing in life without it being corrupt by jealous inferior ass holes. Is that too much to ask for?

Sad but true Tea. Seems that the system with the largest user base(that goes to vote) gets the nod. I fully expect MW2 to win tho. Too many people from both of the big systems play that one.

By: theevilaires

theevilaires — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:32:25 +0000

Wait a sec are you telling me they actually choose these things by user votes. I thought that was for fun or something. They Can’t be serious. You mean to tell me UC2 may lose because of some fucking 14 year old xbot brats.

WTF is Spike thinking.

Uncharted 2 SHOULD win.. but the ultra fanboism of MW2 will prevail and take the award.

Hell Assassins Creed so far for me is definatly a strong 2nd place. Hell of a game so far compared to the first one for sure.

Uncharted 2 got my vote, because it is the best game i’ve played this year. MW2 is great, but it won’t get my vote for game of the year, because they dumbed down the PC version and the singleplayer was way to short for my liking.

I don’t mind ball busting.. I got balls of steel but you gotta be prepared to be kicked back in your peanuts.

theevilaires — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:35:25 +0000

I acknowledge that O.G. I’m just busting his balls.

I voted btw too and the only tough choice for me there was best voice actor between Harley,Joker,Chloe,and Drake….I chose Chloe

Me too Mushie and the older I get, the less I like.

I buy Legit games, as I have stated many time before. The game just has to be really good to earn my money.

You can see for yourself on Steam look me up, MushroomStampN

OlderGamer — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:16:21 +0000

Tea I think you over read into Mushies post. I agree with a coupl eof points from you both. But I think your just being a tad instigative.

Basicly all he was saying was based on the SP and the MP, for him MW2 wins out. He also said he liked U2. For the most part i agree with what he said. ‘Cept I don’t like MW2. I am more of a BattleField type of guy. But his points are well taken. I am not too sure how you could get him being a xbox fanboy over that post. I don’t know about him stealing games/downloading or hacking them. But I get upset when game companies steal my money with over priced games that end up failing short of the hype. But then again I tend to be jaded and cynicale.

I went and voted. Was neat.

If I had my choice I would have voted for Fat Princess as Game Of The Year. Its maybe the only game this year that I didn’t see coming and far exceded my expectations. And for only 15usd? Toss in 31 offline bots? Yea my GOTY right there. But what do I know, right?

Peace.

I also purchased MW2 for the PC, just fyi.

A well known pirate who uses his PC (or someone else’s) to pirate things bought a legit copy of MW2…..for PC…..(crickets chirping)……is that your final answer

addicting is a word Pud, although I tend to find “addictive” more correct myself.

By: theevilaires

theevilaires — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:11:59 +0000

Yea I got that point but it still sounded misleading a little. Anyway I’m sorry you don’t like it…BTW how do you feel about Gears online? Because the two seem quite similar but have different aspects in some cases.

By: No_PUDding

No_PUDding — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:10:52 +0000

No such word as addicting MushroomStamp.

By: MushroomStamp

MushroomStamp — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:09:35 +0000

Not misleading.. I said for ME it only has single player value.. I don’t care for the MP in it really.

I also purchased MW2 for the PC, just fyi.

By: theevilaires

theevilaires — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:59:10 +0000

Umm Mushroom you are misleading people because UC2 has multi play as well. Its not basically all SP. The MP is just as good as MW2 dispite them both being different genres and I happen to like UC2 MP better because skill is actually rewarded unlike MW2 cowardice camper rewarding.

Plus I don’t think your opinion matters at default because you don’t buy your games you pirate them. Keep stealing…you have a lot of class playa.

“I think a lot of you people just hate on the game -(MW2)- the same way people hate on Microsoft. Because it’s so big and is the biggest money grabber.”

LOL you talk as if MW2 is M$ exclusive Xboy.
It’s easy to talk shit when it don’t cost you nothing eh.
