@Addfwyn: PS3 is 4 years old. They "NEVER" give it GOTY doesn't mean much.  WIth that same sentiment, Gamespot are huge PS3 fanboys.

I agree they do, that's why I am here, I feel the GB staff generally gives a pretty fair shake to everything.  Maybe some personal preferences towards the 360, but nothing that invades their professional opinions which is where it matters.

I'm interested to see if Jeff's not-a-beard is still there and flourishing when they come back next week.  Out of selfishness for my own entertainment, I dearly hope so! 
 
(P.S. I also have a not-a-beard, though I'm still 21.)

@Addfwyn:  There should be no reason to not just take them at their word.  They think MW2 is the best game, done. Gametrailers has given PS3 best lineup for 2 years now so I don't see how anyone could possibly see any PS3 hate.

MM2 won for BEST PS3 game.  Infamous, Killzone 2, Rachet, and Deamon Souls were not even nominated..  that is pretty fucked up.

" @DrLove said: 
GT just gave it game of the year over Uncharted 2 "  
 That's not exactly a big surprise, it's GameTrailers.  They'd sooner give up their first-born then give a PS3 game recognition.  That's why we have Giant Bomb :P "
You do realize it's out on the PS3 as well, right? "

So why werent Infamous, Killzone 2, Rachet, and Deamon Souls even nominated for best ps3 game?..  its cool that MM2 won if thats what they think at GT, but they might as well not even have a ps3 section and just to overall games of the year like GB. makes more sense plus less fanboy fighting.  they way it looks now is totally messed up.

thats great for them... 
but like i said before they should just do overall games of the year like GB is doing.  having the "best ps3 game" section without Killzone 2, Deamon souls, Rachet, or infamous seems pointless to me.

@DrLove: They are doing overall.  What Giantbomb did last year was Best Exclusives. 
 
Oh and if a list without Demon's Souls is pointless, get ready for tomorrow.

i know they are doing best overall.  what im saying is that GT should just do that and get rid of best xbox360 or ps3... or do best exclusives.   A "ps3" list without 4 of the best games on the ps3 is pointless.  GB set up this year is alot better IMO.

" why has no one mentioned killzone 2 "

I kinda feel it's because it came at the start of the year. That's also why inFAMOUS wasn't getting so much exposure, and the last 3 months were fucking BRUTAL when it came to huge video game premieres.

Ok, so this is easily the gayest thing I have ever said, but I've been following you since early gamespot Jeff and this is easily the best looking you have ever looked. You look like you have lost a shit load of weight. But I'm not gay....really.

" @smashforge: In COD4 they actually only shipped 12 maps excluding the DLC; so MW2 was actually a improvement over the number of shipped maps. I can't say about any one of them being a classic map aside from Terminal however. "

  Ambush | Backlot | Bloc | Bog | Countdown | Crash | Crossfire | District | Downpour | Overgrown | Pipeline | Shipment | Showdown | Strike | Vacant | Wetwork  is 16 by my count.   Broadcast | Chinatown | Creek | Killhouse
 were added later as part of a Map Variety Pack. If your talking as in Classic as in remake i believe Wasteland is the only one.  If your talking about ones that will beloved over time i agree with you on Terminal, but would add Favela, Highrise, and Sub Base.  I really like all the rest except Derail(to big for the types of games i play) and Rust.  Its not the quality its the quanity i have a problem with. Playing through the single player i thought there were alot of areas that they could have easily taken a chunk out of and made another map (eg. Mainstreet w/ Burgertown, the Oil rig, the Whitehouse, the Castle).

God damnit I love this guy. I wish I could give him a non-gay kiss on the lips. It's not about his choices here (I disagree plenty) but he sure knows how to make everything funny and/or interesting ... and sometimes just weird ... with a hint of creepy ... sometimes.

Someone actually showed love to UFC 2009.  SFIV got me back into fighters in a big way and UFC solidified my interest again.  Nice list J-Gerst.

all I hear about MW2 is "blablabla multiplayer" I'm probably shitting on the game for the love that it receives, It does nothing original at all, and the fact of that the hype alone pushed back a lot of great games. the gameplay in this game was some of the most unsatisfying experiences I've had this year, the way you aim, the feel of shooting and the way they completely obscure your vision with horrible jelly shit! Maybe I just don't understand the appeal of this franchise, maybe I don't like these kind of games, but the fact that this is on the 1st place on someones top-10 list sickens me.

I'm not sure where you're referring to in terms of not reviewing well.
