Editorial Nominees

The PlayStation 3 had a strong year in 2011. While none of our five nominees for the Best PlayStation 3 Game award were exclusive to the platform, it's worth noting that both Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3 weren't eliminated easily. The final five were decided upon only after lengthy discussion. While one or two of the included games might surprise you, it's perhaps one or two of the games that were omitted (in addition to those already mentioned) that will spark the most debate.

We understand the point of view (no doubt expressed in the comments below again this year) that the Best PlayStation 3 Game award should go to a PS3-exclusive game, but games aren't always created equal on different platforms, so we feel it's important to recognize the best games for each platform without worrying about the business arrangements that determine who gets to play them. If you have a PlayStation 3, it's our opinion that these were the five best games released for your console in 2011.

I love love love Portal 2. That gotten out of the way, this is not a good decision. Uncharted 3 FTW.

Not a deserved win at all, even though it was a Great game. Where are the Exclusives? Uncharted? InFamous? Killzone? No where to be seen. Gamespot needs to work on their lists better. at this moment, I haven't looked at the best 360 game, but I bet they actually HAD exclusives in that line-up!

Platform exclusives should be top priority when nominating games.

I usually agree with Gamespot which is why I visit the site everyday, but this time, really? Are you serious GS?

This is it, Gamespot, you officially fail me big time. Why? You guys properly knew: super biased against the PS3.
