@FreakZuhair No chance.MW2,the glitch ridden,kid infested,dodgey servers unbalanced game.That charges more then Bad Company 2 on PC for map packs alone and does nothing to improve the faults in the game."Yeah right" Killzone 2 is an amazing feat on consoles,great visuals,solid campaign,good near lag free multiplayer which has almost no real glitches.It also improved massively on it's predecessor whilst Infinity Ward basically gave CoD4 a new skin with a couple new features taken from other franchises.

Best Action/Adventure Game-Uncharted 2 Best Shooter-Call of Duty MW2 (I find ps3 way to biased to believe killzone was better than COD) Best Strategy game-Not Sims 3 though u need to be strategic on how to go to school and sleep at night without bad dreams. Best Open World Game-Assassin's Creed 2 I hope I made 1/10000000th people happy cuz that's enough for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What? Not Dragon Age? Are serious?! Its the best rpg of all time for my money. And not AC2? What, are you kidding?! And The Sims 3! Not a real strategy like Warhammer or Empire total war. The Sims is not a strategy game. Its a simulation! There is nothing stragtic about life! You go up, go to work or school or whatever, com home, do something and then go to bed. Repeat until death. I think im gonna stop care about this world now.

Firstly, it's interesting just how PS3 biased these awards were. Secondly, the Sims as a strategy game?! Please...

there's an obvious bias against nintendo on here. super mario bros. should be an automatic win for platformers. Professor Layton OR Scribblenauts should be best puzzle game. UGH

While it's far from bad, MW2's story is super corny, and it's online felt too much like a Rambo movie.
