2 awards down and many to go. This is probably the most controversial category other than the actual Game of the Year award. There were plenty of BIG name FPS throughout the year if you think about it, but these are the best of the best, and there can only be one winner.
And the nominees for 2009 FPS Game of the Year Award are.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Halo 3: ODST
Killzone 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Less than 48 hours later, PlayStation appears to be waiving its staunch refund policy for people who bought MindsEye.
Not sure it's 'as bad' as CP2077 as far as crashing and whatnot. It's just not as good of a game, so that makes the issues stand out more.
There's full walkthrough out there if you want to see the game for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition owners are receiving free codes for Gears of War: Reloaded from Microsoft. Eligible users should check their Xbox messages for redemption details.
I bought Gears of War: UE on disk when it launched. I received a code for Gears of War: Reloaded. Originally, I believed only people who owned digital copies of Gears of War:UE would receive free copies of Reloaded.
Was wondering if the physical peeps would be able to partake, seeing as they have made every effort to stress "digital only" in all of their marketing material. I too have the disc, but then again I also have GPU so I'm good either way.
I can’t remember if I ever claimed Gears UE with the now defunct Games with Gold program. I’m also subbed to Gamepass Ultimate . Lastly I did play Gears 5 a week ago.
I only bought the disc on Xbox One too, but I got a code yesterday. Somehow.
I don't recall the game being a part of Games with Gold either - I know Gears 5 was. I wonder if they're just being extra generous for certain cases (i.e. Physical owners who are also subscribed to or have maintained a sub for extended time to Game Pass Ultimate?)
I heard physical owners have gotten a code as well so you just might get lucky.
Yep - I responded above but I got a code as well despite being a physical owner of the game. There's definitely some other criteria besides what they've publicly said.
According to Polish podcasters Rock and Boris, CD Projekt RED is reportedly planning a third DLC for The Witcher 3, set to release in 2026.
OK so I tricked you. Unlike other sites, if there is more than one game deserving of winning the award then there will be 2 or more winners.
Killzone- Had an amazing single player campaign no matter what naysayers have to say. It was one of the best single player experience I had this year. It felt like war, and you were doing you part to bring down the enemy. The thing that made the single player stand out was the hate between both sides. Men and Women were killed, Rico spitting on Radec's dead body just shows how much these two sides hate one another, which is what put it over the top for me. Throw in a very good online multiplayer that supports 32 people, and it's a no brainer that Killzone 2 deserves a spot.
Metroid Prime Trilogy- A 40+ hour of single player campaign need I say more. Metroid Prime is the Nintendo Wii's Orange Box. The only real downside to Metroid Prime Trilogy is that if you own the first 3 games then there's no real need to buy this one. However, if you don't then prepare for days of gaming goodness (which could be a downside as well since you'll be playing with the Wiimote for hours.)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2- Is this game over hyped. Yes. But that doesn't mean it isn't good. Call of Duty provides a short, but action packed single player campaign designed to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Once you're done with the single player which should take no more than 1 day, you can go on to enjoy one of the best online multiplayer games EVER. You don't have to worry about finding matches, because games are ALWAYS running, just hop on and play. Not to mention the co-op.
As you can tell I'm leaning more towards the Killzone 2 side, but all 3 games are amazing, and are the best FPS for their consoles (PS3 owners get the bonus of having both Killzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2).
I would have to go with Killzone 2, followed by Modern Warfare 2.
Look at my gamer picture. That being said, I say Killzone 2. ODST and MW2 had too short campaigns, Metroid was re-released, and L4D2 isn't that different from 1.
