This is horrible! At least make the games you compare MATCH gamespot!

 

Crusader Kings II vs Farcry 3 ????? wtf!??Ridge Racer Unbounded Vs Sound shapes.... oh yeah that totally makes sense.. Indie titles next to big name games... sure, nice to see Gamespot supports the indie devs right..Tribes vs NHL .... NBA vs Planetside....Gamespot is on Dope, Crack and are drunk.. I feel like deleting my gamespot account right now.

 @Ncsoftlover too many consol fanboys who never exprianced PS2 to assure that :( anyone who played both can see that PS2 is simply superior ...

 @evil-zodiark  @Ncsoftlover I'm not really a console "fanboy" as you put it. I'm just not interested in gaming PCs. But because it's CoD and I've played an hour and a half of it over my friends I shall be voting for P2.

 @iamllamapie  @Ncsoftlover @iamllamapie  i said consol fanboys because i didn't mean everybody who plays on consols, i meant people who will bash anything that isn't on consols. so sorry if i offended :)

Goodbye Journey and TTT2. I really wanted these games to stay especially journey.

 @speedy5212 Majority of people have Xbox 360s here, so a lot of them won't even know what Journey is.

 @speedy5212 It a popularity contest, not a game of the year contest, so I would not worry. Also Journey picked up many VGA awards and has been nominated for a Grammy.

I take it the other 30% voted for PES 2013 due to simple hate for CoD too. It's so sad that it will most likely make it to the top. RIP Originality.

Persona 4 Arena VS. Nintendo Land, uh, P4A :D P4 is the best game ever, and Arena is really awesome too

If Max Payne 3 wins GOTY and becomes the new standard for video games, then I'm prepared to hand up my controller and find some other way to waste my free time.

If your favorite games lose, it seems to be more about how they are matched.

AC3, Halo 4, COD:BO2,  these games shouldn't even be on this list ...they are just rehash of their last year's version...

(oh and before u go all made on me......I did play Halo 4 and Yes it is an overrated rehash. sure the story is great but there's nothing really new. just like COD and AC.)

jlmurph2

 @Sp3ncerK So even though Halo has a new story..new amazing cut scene graphics..new enemies..new weapons..and Chief is more personified its rehashed? You're a fucking idiot.

 @Sp3ncerK How can AC3 be a rehash? It has been in developement for 3 years. Have you even played AC3? And how is Halo 4 like last year's version? Did a Halo game come out last year? No. However, I can see where you're coming from with CoD.

 @Sp3ncerK Yeah i can agree with that. Don't know about Halo but COD is just remaking since COD MW2. AC is doing the same thing. It's all about the money.

Journey is losing? Dammit. I was hoping it would at least get past the first round. I'm not mad at all (I've heard The Walking Dead is really good, so I was kind of expecting this), I'm just a little disappointed.

 @007hawk25 Yeah, everybody thinks those two should be in finals.It's kind of weird to mach these games against each other so early.

 @007hawk25 Some games are weirdly matched. I mean very unpopular games vs very popular. But i guess journey vs TWD is a good match-up

How is Diablo 3 ahead of Shogun 2? I thought the majority of people hated Diablo 3. I'd also like to add that Shogun 2 is a better game. Just look at the review scores.

 @StoneMoney I dislike Diablo 3 and I love all the Total War games... except Shogun, because of the setting.  I also voted against all the Persona games and that other anime crap Devil Survivor 2. I dislike Diablo 3 less so guess which game I voted for.

 @prowler08071984  @StoneMoney i don't mind shogun setting but i am certanly not a fan of it. however this didn't stop from enjoying the actual gameplay which pretty solid and true to the original fans of the total war games unlike D3....

 @StoneMoney shogun 2 is a wayyyyyyyyyyy better game. you offend it simply by comparing it to diablo 3 (even 2 and 1) but the majority of people are too dumb to understand a deep RTS :(

I think what is more dissapointing here is that people like you think anyone who has different opinions than you make them dumb.

 @Bumblebee1138 who are you fouling ? diablo3 was dumbed down , it was easier than D2/1 and with no real RPG elements or customization just to please the masses, while Total is a deep RTS franchise which goal isn't to appeal to every hipester out there but to make the most realistic historical experiance and one of the most deep , challenging and certanly not dumbed down strategy games.

omg assassins creed 3 vs fez

a buggy rehash of a game thats been released 5 times in as many years. it got repetative by the 3rd one.

vs

a unique masterpeice created by one single person with a pasion for what he does which shows in the game.

83%vs16%

shame on you internet. shame. on. you.

AC3 and rehash?Did you even play the game?You can't exactly call a sequel that has improved physics,new gameplay features and mechanics a "rehash".

ptflea1

 @gamefreak215jd they may have changed the controls and added some new animations this time but they should have done that in brotherhood, for four games they had the same exact gameplay and adding double assassinations and new weapons isn't an improvement its dlc material if anything and makes the game easier, especially hold LB to auto kill everyone.

four games holding rt+a and staring at the same running animmation isnt fun and with whats new in ac3 doesn't make up for it when it should have been done in previous games and as a result soured my oppinion with its repetiveness.

I voted AC3 becuase I loved it. And considering this is called "People's choice" I'm not ashamed one crap about my opinion. Got a problem with that?

 @ptflea1 Yeah i get what you mean but Fez isn't as know as AC. That is a shame but i think the person behind Fez is already happy the game sells and is nominated.
