It’s that time of year. We’re in the final stages of tallying up our votes for Game in the Year in a few categories. When will you get to see our picks? Let’s just say they’re coming really soon. A little birdie told me to expect our final numbers any day now, so keep your eyes peeled.
I guess I’ll disappoint everyone right now. No, Tony Hawk Ride did not win our Game of the Year voting in any category. It’s a damn shame too, given the glowing review Ryan put together. So stay tuned to hear our thoughts on the best games of 2009!
We have had a few days to think about what exactly went on at the video gaming industry’s biggest awards ceremony on Saturday. A slew of celebrities (and wanna-be celebrities) came out in droves to pay respects to this year’s best games. I set my DVR to record the VGA’s on Spike this year (as I do with all of my TV shows) and watched it late Sunday afternoon. I’m glad I did just that, because there were a few things I saw that I’m glad I was able to fast forward through. Hit the jump to find out what exactly those moments were.
It’s that time again when we can start talking about Game of the Year voting. We’ve already begun our internal process here at Loot Ninja and you’ll be hearing soon enough, but how about the top 10 games with the highest Metacritic average for the year? They’ve got you handled.
Their clear winner was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, something I cannot dispute. The game is flat out amazing. Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 came in second, Street Fighter IV on the PS3 in third, and Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 in fourth.
If you want to see the full list, head on over to Metacritic and check it out. Go get playing all of these games so you can weight in with your thoughts when we drop out Game of the Year choices on you really soon.
It’s the question I’ve been asking myself for a while now… Has the Game of the Year award become as worthless as the Nobel Peace Prize? It is a bold question, but one that is worth exploring.
If you have been living in a cave or just don’t run with circles of people that discuss these things here it is for you. President Barack Hussein Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. If you catch the video on YouTube you can hear the shock and awe reactions from the Nobel Press at 0:18. These are some serious reporters you hear shitting themselves. If you listen to the Nobel Committee spokesperson (and understand Norwegian) he states Obama wins because of his efforts to curb nuclear proliferation. If that’s the case where is the prize for Hideo Kojima and his work on the Metal Gear series? By the time the Nobel nominations had closed Kojima had accomplished more in this area than Obama.
After having to wait nearly a year since the launch of the game, it looks as if Bethesda is finally releasing DLC for the PS3 version of Fallout 3. I actually stumbled upon this as I was browsing through the EB Games website. It appears that come October 13th, PS3 gamers will be able to get their DLC fix for $60 with the Game o the Year edition. The decision by Bethesda to release this DLC on the PS3 should satisfy previously disgruntled owners who have had to wait while PC and 360 gamers were treated to all 5 expansions. In order to cater to the majority of players who already own the game, Bethesda will probably release each expansion for $10 (similar to the 360/PC) or perhaps package them all together in one for a lower price.
Drum roll please… We’re finally here. You’ve seen our pics for each console and the ones that didn’t exactly live up to expectation, now we’re breaking it down for the best overall game of 2008. Without further ado, here are the winners.
Coming in third place is Grand Theft Auto IV from Rockstar Games. GTA IV set the bar for open world games with it’s involving story, crisp graphics and physics, and all around fun gameplay. Couple that with some solid multiplayer modes and I can’t imagine many people not wanting to own this game.
Coming Soon!
