Seriously, where is Killzone 2 >_>


I love that game so much and everyone is ignoring it.

Funny how Yahoo's game of the year is exclusive to the platform that they said to avoid buying as a gift this holiday season.

lol, i think you should learn what hypocrisy means. And you should never buy a system just for one game. Not that you said that, but i dont see the issue with saying UC2 was the best game of the year (which it was) and saying that the console itself isnt worth buying (which i disagree with) Two unrelated things.

As AgentA said it was from a different editor, which I didn't see. I guess "Irony" would have been a better word. If the editors were the same though that would be quite hypocritical.

"Hey guys, don't buy the PS3. It sucks and has rechargable batteries in the the controller. Oh by the way, have you played Uncharted 2??? That game is phenomenal!! I give it the game of the year. Oh, you'll need to a PS3 to play it though."

Were the two articles written by the same person?

VGA awarded uncharted2 the GOTY but didnt give uncharted2 the best action adventure award. :?

I think that was because they thought Assasins Creed was more of an Action Adventure game, but then Uncharted was just the overall better game.

dirt 2 wins best racer. someone actually saw through the hype machine for once to pick the most fun game. A racing should be about racing not tuning and collecting cars which forza and gt are just about more about than racing. Plus dirt 2 has the best damage engine by a mile as well as best graphics (sorry gt5 wont beat the pc version)

___gamemaster__
dirt 2 is the better racing game, forza 3 is the better tuning and car collecting game. rally is always so much more fun than track racing and codies just knows how to make racing games fun, grid was the most fun racing game last year and dirt 2 is this year. They get the mix of arcade and sim just right.

When it comes to overall game, which means sales, reviews, lasting power, SP, MP, etc, MW2 wipes the floor with UC2.

Nice, I thought it would be a 360 exclusive being yahoo and all, till I saw Greenberg say the winners for VGA were well deserved, meaning they were alright with having uncharted win it. Still need to beat it on Crushing :/

How do sales have anything to do with overall game quality? Sales = popularity + availability, neither of which have anything to do with quality. Also, Uncharted 2's SP wipes the floor with any other game according to critics, and I prefer the MP of Uncharted 2 over Call of Duty any day. But MP is all about preference.

Advertising is another big factor in sales.
