[BurnoutParadise]

Best PC Game - BURNTOUT PARADISE!!! (THE ULTIMATE BOX)

Since it's run by votes, Modern Warfare 2 will take the win

[Battlefield]

Uncharted 2 all the way, modern warfare 2 was no way near my expectations.

[pumal]

Killzone 2 all the way, the bots can cry me a river ahahaha there's like no good 360 games this year.

[X_iGame_X]

Heh they included Killzone 2. Can't believe VGA forgot KZ2. It's will win 4 surez?

[Valay]

Pretty much agree with you.

[Chubear]

Hands down: Killzone motherloving 2. I've never experienced a FPS like that, ever.

@1.3
Yeah, they "forgot" KZ2. >.>

[Darkstorn]

Agreed, except for Best PC Game; I put Dragon Age.
It's going to be a big debate over who wins best graphics: Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2. Personally, I think Killzone 2 has the upper hand when it comes down to which game simply looks more realistic, but UC2 is undoubtedly close.

[Saaking]

Good choices.

[Erotic Sheep]

What exactly makes you feel that KZ2 is the best FPS you've played? Don't get me wrong, that game is gorgeous and is a solid action packed FPS title, but it doesn't come close to the likes of Half-Life or Bioshock.

I'm just wondering why some people feel KZ2 is the best FPS ever created ^^

[raztad]

Why N4G doesnt run its own Game of The Year? This is a gamer site after all.

@sheep

It depends on what kind of FPS you enjoy the most. I liked HL2 and its Episodes, it got some clever puzzles and awesome tools like the gravity gun but the combat is weak and boring, even when you are on a vehicle.

KZ2 gunfight is on another level. Just sublime. Incredible exciting and challenging when played on hard/Elite.

To me KZ2 is the Demons Souls of FPSes.

[swiftshot93]

I agree with 1.8. KZ2 was thrilling, gorgeous, and has awesome multiplayer. But best FPS ever? No, not even of this generation. Bioshock is blatantly superior, and IMO so is CoD4. MW2 also stands toe to toe with the game.

[Darkstorn]

Bioshock was amazing, but Killzone was almost as good. Actually the only thing giving Bioshock the upper hand was its brilliant story and atmosphere. Hating on Ayn Rand never was so much fun... :p

[raztad]

@Dark

Thats true Bioshock is an amazing game. Bioshock is almost a genre in itself. So innovative when it came out, those perfectly integrated RPG elements and that atmosphere, oh my god the atmosphere.

I would like to see some sort of RPG elements/weapons upgradeability in KZ3. After Bioshock and Borderlands rpg elements is a must on FPSes.

[FACTUAL evidence]

Soo hard to chose from uc2 and KZ2 WTH!!!! Someone call the doctor!

[ThanatosDMC]

Best multiplat game is Assassin's Creed 2! Yes, it's that good. Go get it! I've been playing it for 2-3 days straight... you know, minus the bathroom breaks, food, sleep, etc.

[pixelsword]

Uh, sir, you're trying to disagree with his opinion; his opinion can't be wrong or right because it's entirely up to him.

:)

[ReservoirDog316]

This list is missing inFamous. Besides Uncharted 2, it's my favorite game this year. Was really surprised how good it was.

Assassin's Creed 2. I'm sure it's good but I doubt it's as good as inFamous. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure.

Poor Sucker Punch. So underappreciated (as you can see from my avatar, I love Sucker Punch).

edit: Also I think Super Mario Bros. Wii be far better than CoD Reflex.

[kraze07]

Two words: Hell No. Dragon Age deserves the title as best PC game of the year.

[sikbeta]

That's not a good idea

Multiple accounts fanboys voting ODST everywhere, even in the best wii game category lol

[Socomer 1979]

I hope Sony devs go to the VGAs with killzone 2 t-shirts & do thier kanye west impression when valve gets on stage.

[Chubear]

HA! That would be gold! Xd but we know GG have a certain type of class to them. They'll take a subtle digg at them with stuff they're working on instead.

[Reno17]

Thanks for making me laugh. Good comment!

[AKNAA]

Sony: yo Valve, I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish..
but GG had one of the best FPS of all time!!!... One of the best FPS games of all time!! **Gabe is shocked as F@#Ked**

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Honestly I dont know why L4D2 is there...

[Madusha]

Yeah it's a bit repetitive but still a good game.

@Chubear: YourEMGN (Your Electronics, Movies and Gaming Network) nominees, not Spike TV.

[Chubear]

Come on, you know why. It's Spike tv? ... MS's butt buddy?

[bigrudowsky]

I dont know why its their either but valve always does a great job with their games so its a worthy candidate.

[Saaking]

This EMGN not Spike VGAs.

[hoops]

Best multi-player game L4D2.

[bigrudowsky]

Killzone2 best graphics hands down. uncharted2 was nice but didnt really impress me visually in comparison to killzone 2.
Game of the year however goes to Uncharted 2 one of the best games ive played this gen not the best but its up there

[Myzer]

GOTY: Uncharted 2
PS3: Uncharted 2
360: Forza 3
Wii: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Graphics: Uncharted 2

[theEnemy]

Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves is owning!

The only game that is worthy to be called Game of the Year in that list IMO.

[Tex117]

How about "Sleeper hit of the year that no one saw coming and is pure greatness but because it didn't have any hype isin't even a nominee" category?

I can answer that for you right now.

Demon's Souls.

My personal GOTY and at the very least of this generation.

[proudly_X]

PS3 has 2 exclusive games, all the GOTY's are playable on the PS3 but one - L4D2. while the xbox has no exclusive, three of the GOTY's playable on the 360.. simply whao!!!!

[Chapulin]

best experience I had this year. Uncharted 2 and then inFamous.

[seniorairman]

this is exactly what I was hoping for. I knew that other sites would realize the greatness that is killzone 2. IMO there is no other FPS that has captured the pain, agony, devastation, and hopelessnes that is in the reality of war. Every other FPS is 'cool' or 'awsome'. I dare anyone to play through KZ2 on the hardest difficulty, then come back and tell me that they didn't FEEL like thry were in a real war. I'm so glad that KZ2 is nominated as GOTY on EGMN.

[death83x]

Sony did great job this year, I hope they keep doing the same thing every year with free online services. SONY FOR LIFE

[kraze07]

and after that.
