NOD Awards 2006

From the very first previews, everyone talked about Gears of War talked in hushed, reverential tones. After the first hands-on showcases, it had a virtual lock on an armful of Game of the Year awards. Other games have had that kind of hype but fell flat when it was time to step up to the plate. Gears defied the odds by being exactly the great game experience designer CliffyB promised. Startlingly original? No. Balls-out fun? Hell yes!

Gears of War with another game of the year win. Where did Resistance go? Not even a runner up!

eques judicii6346d ago

is that gamedaily said that resistance was better head to head... but then gave gow the goty... very funny.. and very telling indeed

PS360PCROCKS6346d ago

where did you get that from? I read both reviews and they never even compare the games...and good for GOW and Epic, they deserve it, they put out a phenomonal product that was as good as it was said it would be. It hasn't left my tray since I bought it, and I play it atleast an hour a day. It's definetly one of the best games I have ever played

eques judicii6346d ago

i love that game... it was a while back that they did a comparison and gave the "nod" to resistance, i disagreed with them then... but i suppose that after playing more gears over the past few weeks it changed their minds ;-)

Juevani6346d ago

GOW sucks buttom line.. I've told ya before and Imma tell ya again : No Storie, 3 hours Long Campain, Not much guns, Nothing happening at the same time (it plays and sounds so mono and flat) Texture problems, Envirments looks like they tok em from a Wii game, boring enemys, online its only 4vs4 (yawooooo) and there is more but why waist my time..

Munky6346d ago

You silly fawk. You are wrong on every single point. But I guess the one bubble explains everything.

Marriot VP6346d ago

yah that is why it's been getting all those game of the year and best online multiplayer awards right?

no one values your opinion, sony tool

wolfgang6346d ago

GoW is awesome, you don't even have a 360 to play it, you are just jealous, get over it Juevani. Why don't you play games instead on spending all your free time bashing anything that is not a sony console. Most of the people here have enjoy games from all console. I've got an idea, i'm a gonna write "sony" on the side a a huge dildo and "microsoft" and another one, then you can shove them where the sun don't shine and maybe we'll listen when you tell us that the ms one fell so flat compare to your nextgen ps3 dildo.

Optimus Prime6346d ago

There’s another 2006 GOTY for Gears.
And you can bet your ass 2007 belongs to Halo 3.

HaKeRsCanRotINHEL6345d ago

all wrong, Oblivion should be game of the year. Gears is short but sweet, hell when I get my 360 back from McAllen TX I'll finally be able to finish it ( I have the rated T collecters ed.)

Xtrm L1481L1TY6345d ago

oblivion Won GOTY from G-Phoria G4TV

There's another 360 winner ;)

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756119d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00118d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic118d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack119d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing119d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic118d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos119d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin119d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris119d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine118d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz119d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin123d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack123d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69123d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07123d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn123d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid123d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog123d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992123d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
