MW2 not only winning GOTY but..

Best PC game

[video]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/best-pc-gt-goty/60271[/video]

Best PS3 game

[video]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/best-ps3-gt-goty/60272[/video]

and best 360 game

[video]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/best-ps3-gt-goty/60272[/video]

Have to wonder if IW's money from CoD4 was used to pay sites like GT off.

Even funnier is that neither Forza 3 or ODST were nominated for 360's GOTY.

well if they called it the best game of the year, and it was out on all 3 systems, shouldn't it be the best on all 3 systems?

Console of the year: Ps3.

I guess it was a flip of the coin really, since MW2 is on the 360 too...

K I just watched the videos, by their own definition of GoTY, "Cannot be reliant on the tried and true. The mold must be broken. The envelope must be pushed." So that completely rules out MW2, since it is identical to MW1, and is severely lacking in any envelope pushing.

I think Batman should have won, it fits into their own criteria much more comfortably.

They must've meant pushing the envelope backwards.

they said all of that could be ignored if the game was incredibly polished.

Yeah, but is MW2?

Extensive use of Glow/Specular map != polished.

I don't think this is any more suspicious than the fact that the vast majority of reviews for the game on PC gave it well over a 90%. It's pretty obvious that doling out plenty of "marketing campaign" expenditures will result in at least "good" ratings these days. I can remember the days when pretty much any game that got such great reviews was assuredly worth buying. Not the case for at least the past 3 years.

However, in their defense, there weren't really any truly great shooters released in 2009.

And because of bullshit like that it does indeed double the sales, MW2 is an overrated shit game.
