Fable 2 Gears of War 2 GTA4 But have you considered many of the Pc titles. Or is this the Game of the Year only accessible for consoles.

Haven't played it, but I played the previous chapters (CURSE YOU KONAMI FOR NOT PUTTING IT ON 360!) I personally found GTAIV very detailed, but it became pretty stressing as a game.

What is the difference between a duck? Posts: 4,799 Group: Former Monarchs Member #7,312 Joined: April 10, 2008 Playstation Network ID: Allbowdown Xbox Live Gamertag: allbowdown	Nail Strafer Sep 26 2008, 08:58 AM Just turning around? All you really gotta do is stop, reverse, pull a J turn, and you're on your way...or a quick pull of the handbrake works too with how it makes you slide so much. I do both all the time when I realize I'm going the wrong way. Let me be more specific... in their attempt at making turning around seem more fluid, it complicated turning around in really tight spaces since from a run you actually run a semi circle to turn around and I would constantly end up bumping into crap and getting turned around.

~Doomsday Overlord~ Posts: 15,568 Group: =SB= Emperor Member #1 Joined: April 8, 2006 Gender: Male Country: United States of America Playstation Network ID: Doc_Of_D Game Currently Playing: Tales of Xillia	Bowie Sep 25 2008, 11:20 PM Indeed it doesn't have to be the first to be awesome.. but that one feature doesn't make it completely extraordinary. First off, when it comes to map making both the Wii and 360 have games that have at least limited map making capabilities (SSBB = extremely limited Halo 3 = I have been able to recreate almost ANYTHING in it) so yes.. the competition DOES have it in a way. And as for making money based on user created content.. Microsoft has been doing that for about one and a half years now through the Xbox Live Arcade. LBP takes it to a new level but it isn't a game that "sells" the PS3 for me. Gears 1 beat the living crap out of Resistance 1 and I don't see how the tide could have tremendously changed just because both tacked 2's on. I saw people playing Resistance and while I think it looks good and plays good (look moderately fun) Gears DID look better, so the all mighty graphical power of the PS3 is trumped by the 360 again. I will admit I'm slightly bias since I only played Gears, but my opinion stands and I acknowledge yours. I doubt it will have to do anything with big pockets as it is.. all though that's all I hear from people.. "Microsoft only wins because it throws cash at things.." I think when 360 games win things.. it's because they actually DESERVE the award(s) in question. I will doubt peoples sanity if MGS4 wins.. that was so boring.. and it was more an interactive movie than a game, IMO. GTA4 (as stated) is just a fancier looking GTA that I thought looked and played very sloppy, just turning around is a pain in the ass. I would much rather play San Andreas since it is BIGGER more DYNAMIC, and is much more fun overall, complete with a story on or above 4's level. Fallout 3.. Bethesda.. a.k.a. FROM THE MINDS BEHIND Morrowind and Oblivion.. if that game isn't considered heavyweight then nothing really could be... While awards races are fueled by hype e.t.c. generally the game of the year is at least guaranteed to be dependable, as is any other game considered for the title. And we have a full slate of hopefuls coming this Holiday season that I plan to get my hands on.. I don't care who wins.. since I will be happy in playing all the ones on the 360 and Wii. <3 Ok so some 360/Wii games have had it already, not to the extent of LBP, no where close or even similar. LBP will definitely be selling PS3s.. In fact people are already buying PS3s for the game, but being a system seller doesn't make the game any better than it would be if it didn't sell systems. Gears 1 beat the living crap out of Resistance? LOL, no way... I'll admit the first gears was better, but that's not to say Resistance wasn't great. Resistance beat the living crap out of Gears in terms of weapons though. As for things not changing? Resistance 2 has tremendously changed. The way I see it, Insomniac is a way better developer than Epic, which just makes shooters that all look the same in art style. Insomniac has taken all of the criticism of the first game to heart and improved everything people wanted changed while adding awesome stuff like incredible bosses and loaded it with more features than any other shooter out there. While Gears 2 looks great, it doesn't seem like it has improved much and R2 just looks like more fun and longer lasting with more features and story modes. Gears did look better. So what? It was insomniac's first try on PS3. A second gen 360 game beat a rushed launch PS3 game? Oh big whoop. If you knew anything about Insomniac, you'd know that their first game is just to get the engine working well then they improve the graphics. That's why Ratchet and Clank 2 blew away the first one in graphics and that's why Resistance 2 blows away R1 in graphics. Ted Price(Pres. of Insomniac) already addressed why Gears looked better, it's because Gears streamed textures off of the disc and Resistance preloaded them into the ram which has been fixed with Ratchet and Clank and R2. MS does have big pockets. How do you think Halo became so overhyped? While shooters that were just as good went unnoticed? MS is known for viral marketing, why do you think they won't throw some money around to sway an opinion of their game? MGS4 having tons of cutscenes is true, but I loved it. It was like a movie and a game combined with awesome gameplay. The gameplay is truly "Next Gen" whereas, imo, 98% of the games released so far are just PS2 games with updated graphics. Can't argue with you there on GTA4, but people love it and that's enough for it to win plain and simple. Even if it's not really the best game released in the year.

Sandopolis Act 1 Posts: 1,548 Group: S Rank Hero Member #1,500 Joined: June 26, 2007	I think gears 2 should get game of the year. I'm not saying it will though. GTA 4 will probably get it though it doesn't deserve it. it's kind of early to say whether resistance 2 or gears 2 will be better, but I think gears 2 is the favorite since gears 1 was better than resistance 1.
