IGN: "The year has come to an end, which can only mean one thing: Awards season! That's right; it's time to look back at the best games, comics, TV shows, movie and gear of 2009. We locked ourselves in a room, argued until we were hoarse and came away with a list of this year's exceptional offerings."
Fallout London hasn't exactly had an ideal launch—crashing issues have been reported by players—but overall reaction is still posititve.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.
So for the overall best games category, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, and Fallout 3 (Game of the Year Edition) are nominated in their respective categories, but not LittleBigPlanet (Game of the Year Edition)? Sounds a bit strange, if you ask me.
As for the awards themselves, i'd say they were well-deserved. I think Dissidia: Final Fantasy should've took the action game award over Patapon 2, but what does that really matter. They're both easily among my top favourites for PSP.
January 13th: Overall GOTY + Readers Choice Awards.
Wasnt they given a few days ago?
Anyway, good ol IGN's obvious choices according to hype.
PS3 exclusives cleaned up, glad to see inFamous grab that best story award, very unique game that was overlooked in terms of GOTY awards. Uncharted 2 is an amazing experience which should be played by any gamer. I was surprised to see UC2 beat MW2 for best multiplayer. 360 has all multiplats for their big winners and I'm very surprised L4D2 didn't win best shooter or best multiplayer, it's arguably the best online coop game in existence.
4 multliplatforms and 1 exclusive that bombed.
The green ranger DLC didnt even made the list...
And a multiplatform bagged the award.
Just ROFL.
