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

Time Lord5979d ago (Edited 5979d ago )

What exactly is your point?

COD4 should win it.

marcdz15979d 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.

socomnick5979d ago

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

xplosneer5979d 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.

socomnick5979d 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.

FCOLitsjustagame5979d 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.

AbyssGravelord5978d ago

It's amazing how delusional some people can be.

wageslave5979d 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.

Grow up.

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.

@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 OP5979d 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 OP5979d ago

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

MK_Red5979d ago (Edited 5979d 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.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
