Real game of the year!

Online gaming is the way of the future. Prior to me owning my ps3 last Jan, I hadn't played games in almost 15 yrs. I bought my ps3 for the blu and just out of curioustiy I rented Madden and the online aspect hooked me to where I'm worse in terms of addiction now then when I was in HS.

Warhawk is 100x better then Uncharted. There are so many things you can do. You can fly the warhawk, defend the flag, pursue the flag, lay land mines for defense. Now with the new update you get the drop ship where you can fly in and pick up a teamates vehicle and take him back to base with the flag. It's almost being a kid and getting to play Army again.

I love COD4 too, but I have never even tried the single player campaign, again too boring. You know where all the bad guys are going to pop up.

No offense, but I think your entire point of view is bullshit. Online games are a nice option but are annoying to many, many people. The personality of many games almost totally dies online. I like both online and offline and both need to coexist. Lots of times I just don't want to deal with it.

I personally LOVE Uncharted. It's not overrated to me. I have a 360, and I have CoD4, and Ratchet & Clank. I think those games are all great. But personally, Uncharted plays to my likes better.

The Bioshock demo only kept a slight interest for me. It was pretty to look at, and I decided to play it once I can get it for REAL cheap. In November (maybe December) I got it on a sale on Amazon for 25 bucks. So I own a copy that is still in the plastic sitting in my games pile. I plan to play it one day, just no rush.

Will I come here and say all the Bioshock fans are stupid and no way is it game of the year? No, because I know thats what they personally like, and that's great.

edit: Oh, and I don't think online game is an integral 'must have' part of games. It can be an option sometimes, but I can easily live without it. I like stories, fantasy, and other worlds. I'll love single-player experiences for ever.

Agree. The fantasy/intimacy aspect is gone online.

The single player for R:FoM is still better. I know it's old and people are forgetting it, but it was a more rewarding campaign. Not talking about online, but just 1P... R:FoM was far better. It had a more interesting story, was more challenging and was just plain old longer. You also had to use more strategy and utilize a far broader array of weapons not to mention managing ammo.

i agree with some of this. i just prefer COD because of the reality of it. R FoM
is about aliens and that just seems like halo to me.

Bioshock will not be a Top 10 of this gen. Neither will COD4 or Mass Effect. All very good, but none truly great.

it has to be top ten to be considered great? I never said itd be top ten

If your definition of "best" is getting much outside of the top 10, you no longer have a useful definition for best.

wow. so the number 11 game is crap huh?

I could easily pick a lot more than 10 games from each generation that would be considered great. you guys are grasping here.

Hardly, you're the one hyping then backing off. When you say "Best of a Generation" that implies something pretty powerful. It could still be "great" without being "1 of the great games of the generation". When you give something the "1-of-the" stamps that means best. Also you're switching the words and putting things in people's motuhs... no one ever said #11 is "crap".

Get a grip.

whatever you say pal. I wasn't backing off..just saying there could easily be more than ten games you could say that about. if its bothering you that much..then yes..I think its top ten

call me weird but i'm gonna say star wars the force unleashed is going to smash all games!!! i can't wait for this!! only 2 more weeks!

[Snake-V2]

Umm - Metal Gear Solid 4 for me. But I think Little Big Planet will be in with a good shot when it hits the shelves!

[phranctoast]

My prediction.

Little Big Planet will be game of the year.

[stockstar1138]

nice bump.

Right Now: Metal Gear Solid 4 is clearly the best game out.

However, LittleBigPlanet will definately get some votes, Fable 2 looks pretty nice also.

Am I the only one that liked Bad Company?
COD4 was short but great.
I like the idea of online play IN THEORY, but nothing ruins a game for me like trying to play with a bunch of 12 year olds, who think their whole mission in life is to curse every other word and call you every name in the book, if you don't play exactly like they want you to.
Hey, I have a job. I don't get to spend all summer mastering a game. So please stop threating to "kick my stupid a$$," jr.

When next generation gaming has evolved to the point that I can actually reach thru the screen, grab the little spoiled,smart a$$, and slap the taste how of his mouth, then I'll play.
