PC won ?? Well i guess most have / will be out on the pc at some time .. but alot are on console too

 

[chipper]

how the fuck did black ops bag 3rd place i mean come on ive got it i still play it but its a typical generic shooter, clearly the awards go on sales.

 

[ECA]

LA Noire 3rd place as an action game? brb pissing myself laughing.

 

[Helme]

I'm more interested in how New Vegas could have won best RPG, when it was released last year? And how the fuck is Dragon Age 2 even nominated? Christ

 

[Nate]

It was released pretty much exactly a year ago, so didn't have time to get on the previous award.

 

[MYstIC G]

Go Sonic Team!

I really hope generations isn't shit

It was voted by gamers apparently.

 

[chipper]

It was voted by gamers apparently.

would like to know the percentage of gamers who played the pc version of these games tbh

 

[Wazzerphuk]

PES11 2nd best sports game? Fuck off lol.

 

[ECA]

It was voted by gamers apparently.

Didn't they pick the 3 games competing per category though?

 

[fettoken]

The genericness knows no bounds..

 

[Soazak]

Pretty average list tbh, looks like they've just listed some average, but big name games..

 

[Shagrat]

innovation of the year 3ds?

 

[pikeh]

SC2 deserved, but 3DS for innovation of the year? Who voted for that? Surely the 7 votes from people that actually bought them wouldn't be enough!

 

[Shagrat]

sc2 deserved? i dont think its anywhere near the 2nd most ultimate title of last year. its not exactly genre defining is it really. I would probably go so far as to say that the name Blizzard on the box did a whole lot more for sales than the actual game, theres been a few games of the same type over the last year or two that have been better but by lesser known developers.

Unfortunately, like Apple, Blizzard could box dogshit and would still sell millions these days

 

[PLightstar]

Nice to see World of Tanks up there. Can't understand why LA Noire is in best action as its almost a point and click adventure.
