IGN's Game of the Year Nominees
 

LOL the xbox game of the year will be a multiplatform lool

call of duty MW2 not on the list of nominees for PC game of the year :hawhaw: JOKE!
if i had to choose among the listed, i'd say Batman Arkham Asylum.

It's IW fault, they chose not to have dedicated servers and this is one of the consequences.

and what gameplay experience does this change?

Single-player, doesn't matter. But since this game is primarily a multiplayer game it is a huge deal for PC users. It is also a "standard" when it comes to PC FPS.

i repeat my question, what question difference does it make?

Most clans like to have their own servers to play on, they can put their own rules, have far less lag and mod the games in any way they want.
IW didn't like that because it made cheating easy, so they removed them.

Dedicated servers are one of the main things that separate FPS gamers in terms of Console vs. PC. Console users hate FPS modding, PC users love ém.
With more and more publishers removing the dedicated servers, the PC community is getting kind of pissed.

Winners announced!

360 GOTY: Assassin's Creed II

PC GOTY: Dragon Age - Origins

does it have to be a nerds only game that consumes around 5 hours just to make you understand wtf is going on? screw you IGN.

wtf I am not a nerd and I say this game is deff game of the year bass badak tefdala :p

but Batman > Assassin Creed :Tawa:

I had hoped that MW2 would win the XBOX GOTY. Though I haven't played the second, I did like the first Assassin's Creed. But I doubt it could be that good.

It doesn't have to be but they can't dismiss a game simply because it doesn't appeal to the non-RPG gamer.
As an RPG, Dragon Age set the bar really high, it contained more voice acting than any other video game ever created and it had a great story to go with. It also managed not to have any of it's elements flawed, something which not many video games accomplish.

i agree on the fact that dragon age origins is a good RPG, but RPGs themselves address a certain type of serious gamers, not all gamers. i'm doing my masters degree how the hell am i supposed to play such game?

mate I 100% understand

inta no3 el gamers li bte23od an hour or two 3al game, Dragon Age bel mayteh bada shi 5-6 hours, ana wa2ta el3aba btes7ab ma3eh kel el nhar ma3 osem mnel dohor, lol beleh fadeh :p but if u have time and u play it for hours u will find that its one heck of a game and really addictive

I didn't have time to play it like you're supposed to so I simply rushed it through, not the best way to play it but it's better than not playing it at all. :p
But me not having time to play it doesn't make it a lesser good game. It's the opposite, if there is a game that is so time consuming and by the end doesn't feel like a drag then it's a plus.

Anyway, it's a good thing they don't make good RPG's that often, wouldn't have time to take a sh!t then :D
Next one I'll be playing will be Mass Effect 2 (Same developer as dragon age).

And the Overall Winner is:
