testerg356128d ago

5 out of the 6 are available on the 360 and 3 of them being exclusives.

Time Lord6127d ago (Edited 6127d ago )

What exactly is your point?

COD4 should win it.

marcdz16127d ago

all the people on the X-Play program are Xbot fanboys. Every single show advertises the crapbox and only give negative reviews for the PS3. Did anyone see the one where they announce the worst games, or letdowns of the year. First one up on console bashing Lair, Nintendo, and even the pc games got mentioned. All while there was a big as logo in the back 2007 xbox 360 greates games. They did not mention one bad game for the crapbox it was followed by what games to buy for the xbox 360 this year. What a bunch of tools. X-Play is on the Xbox payroll. It's so freaking obvious its not even funny.

socomnick6127d ago

Bioshock should definitely win not sure why Assassins creed is there though.

xplosneer6127d ago

Hm I'm split between Bioshock and COD4(don't say I haven't played it, all my friends have 360's around me) but agreed Assassin's Creed shouldn't be on there. It innovated but wasn't the best.

socomnick6127d ago

I still say bioshock m8 I love the graphics the gameplay and man that was hands down one of the best if not the best story in a videogame.

FCOLitsjustagame6127d ago

I think it will be Bioshock again as its a bit "different" then COD4. COD4 is awesome but is essentially the same as the other CODs just with cooler weapons, cooler graphics, better AI, different story...but its still essentially COD.

Assassins creed is a good game and I think came close to being a great came but they juuuusssttt missed.

Halo3 again is Halo. Halo is great but its still Halo.

Mario Galaxy is Mario. I haven’t played it but from looking at what they showed it’s like the COD4 of Mario, but it’s still essentially Mario.

BTW I think sequels SHOULD maintain that which makes it essentially the same as its predecessors. I was quite happy with Halo and COD4 (it may even be my personal GOTY).

Oops. I forgot about Mass Effect. I can see that as a GOTY but like Assassins it has some chinks in its armor but the story really pulls you in. I have played it twice and will play it at least 2 more times…. And its “different” too so this could perhaps win.

AbyssGravelord6127d ago

It's amazing how delusional some people can be.

AngryTypingGuy6127d ago

" It's amazing what money can buy

Apparently, it buys better games.

wageslave6127d ago

You pick SMG because its not on the Xbox 360.

Why dont you buy a Xbox 360 and play these games you've built an agenda to propagandize against.

to4076128d ago

No uncharted, R&C .And some Ps3 adherent worshippers have really being waxing lyrical about these games, We were lead to beleive and telling us how they are the best games on any console. Didnt even make the list.

wageslave6127d ago

@hatchetforce

What? No one says that every reviewer is right all the time. But, YOU are saying that they must all be wrong -- apparently, the COMBINED reviews are wrong wrong wrong in your opinion right?

The COMBINED opinion of reviewers from Metacritic:

Mario Galaxy 9.7 / 10
CoD 4 9.4 / 10
Mass Effect 9.1 / 10
Halo 3 9.4 / 10
Bioshock 9.6 / 10

See that? All have AVERAGE scores above 9.. kind of the "Best of the Year" so to speak right? Get it? There isnt a PS3 exclusive in this catagory.

Here are

Uncharted 8.9 / 10
R&C 8.9 / 10
Resistence 8.6 / 10
Warhawk 8.4 / 10
Motorstorm 8.2 / 10

Get it? Sore that there arent any exclusive PS3 games on that list of Best of The Year? I can understand you'd be upset, the PS3 library *really* is lacking, that is the collective opinion of the entire industry (again, see the average scores above).

But, no one is surprised.

Slayer OP6127d ago

Wow

Several of those games got a 8.9 yet you consider them bad. Thats is so stupid considering you never even played them. Seriously there are games out there that dont get 10/10 and are great games.

Reviewers are biased and will review what the people want to see rather then review properly so therefore review score mean nothing because they are people opinions. What matters is how good the game really is.

Slayer OP6127d ago

they are the most biased reviewers next to gamespot. Dont take them seriously.

MK_Red6127d ago (Edited 6127d ago )

Good list. Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and BioShock are all that I want to see among main GOTY noms.
UPDATE: God of War 2, COD4, SMG, Uncharted, MP3, Crysis and few others are also great and deserve a nomination at least but those 3 are my top and fave choices.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast57d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai60d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken58d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop60d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake60d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne60d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo59d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie

Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.

thesoftware73061d ago

Darth,

That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.

CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.

darthv7261d ago

That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.

Bathyj61d ago

No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.

andy8561d ago

Sweet. Never got round to it on release. I'll give the campaign a go

chicken_in_the_corn61d ago

Severly underrated game. Big improvement over 2.

AC Remakes Can Save Ubisoft Like RE Remakes Saved Capcom

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "If Ubisoft plays its cards right, the Assassin's Creed remakes could achieve what Resident Evil 2 Remake did for Capcom."

AC1 Reimagining and AC2 Remakes first ... then Black Flag and others.

just_looken79d ago

It was talked about awhile back that the Singapore branch the ones that made skull bones are making a black flag remake. It has at that time 3 months of work put into it.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Terry_B79d ago

You believe something good would come from Ubisoft? Did you sleep the last 10-15 years?

just_looken79d ago

Right ubisoft has been on life support for awhile everyone of there ip's has had huge shift's in population/sales and fan base.

Right now its all about xdefient but that game is still fixing netcode issues 3 years in.

-Foxtrot79d ago

The only time they should be remaking the first game is when they are ready to reboot the series after a long break and want to get back to their roots. Start a new re-freshed timeline which they've convoluted.

just_looken79d ago

Though capcom has had sales for there re games lets not all forget the huge elephant in the room which is mod support.

The first resident evil remake was made by fans taken down by capcom then they stamped there logo on it after that mods came in made the replay factor way better than the original.

But when they made them all in house then came the cuts for the modern audience followed by re4 mt's then they went after the modders even in really old titles trying there best to crush mod support. Then you got the horrible drm crap pc port of village and that dumpster fire online re game.

So capcom has made money on remakes but after awhile there shine is not so bright

I hope ubisoft does not copy capcom as they would turn that dial from a 8 to a 11 add in there own mt's to older titles with time savers live service bs or worse black flag with stamina meter's.

MeteorPanda79d ago

don't you dare touch the first ac game. Your woke team would ruin it's charm

AndrewM78d ago

Woke has nothing to do with anything you fucking weirdo.

MeteorPanda78d ago

They wouldn't understand how to remake the first ac games, they'd ruin them with real life politics. Happy?
