Yes, The Game Of The Year (GOTY) discussion is already beginning! Spike is hosting its 5th annual Video Game Awards this December in Las Vegas, and this morning the nominees were released on Spike.com. What's in contention for Game of the Year? Orange Box, Halo 3, BioShock, and Mass Effect.
Full Circle’s new Skate The Board Room episode promises only the best threads and customization, without the need to spend any cash.
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.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
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.
Wer is God of War II. is that not supposed to be an awesome game... guess not.
but who would like a game like that. Full of gore, MURDERERS.
The list of Game Of The Year noms is exactly the list of Best 360 Games, lol.
But seriously, 360 titles lead the noms of VGA. Aside from Orange Box, the other 3 are 360 exclusives and only BioShock is available for PC.
Where are Assassins, UT3 and COD4? No Super Mario Galaxy!?
I also think they should have put Zack & Wiki among best of Wii as well as Assassins in graphics and tech category.
I agree with that list.
Mass Effect?!?
How is a game that no-consumers have played yet going to possibly even be NOMINATED for GOTY?
Just because KOTOR was good!? Because it has pretty graphics for a polished up in-engine cutscene? While the rest of the game is empty??
I guess being able to have a conversation with a bot = goty..
I vote Bioshock. Since ive played it... and I doubt Mass Effect h as the sound design, i KNOW it doesn'thave the voice acting.. and all of those things tie together to make a great game. Thats what Hl2 & Bioshock have.
Hmmm...I see, no Uncharted on the list ??
Prejudice !!
