Ps2 game of the year 2012

And when i try to download from my Vita download list, same thing. Thanks for looking into this. I love how people say AC3 sucked, why its not living up to your standards? But yet people want The Walking Dead to win.. It won Game of the year on the VGAs so people stop whining. Seriously I am curious about all your taste in games and what you like. I bet many people will say your taste suck too. It an opinion. I think AC3 is a very good game if it wins it wins.

It still has one of the most unique of Multiplayer there is. But as I said before its an opinion people have a right to like a game as they see fit. You have got to be kidding me. Man, what is it with you, tired of seeing your same old complaints about almost everything. You love to log on just to complain week after week? I can understand some constructive criticism, but you offer nothing and frankly its quite annoying. How close where some of these awards?

Interesting Choices. I understand why people voted for what they did. I got the biggest kick out of what the staffers voted for. Those were more along the lines of artistic then mainstream. The correct answers are Persona 4 Golden for all of the above.

Except for anticipated which is Ni No Kuni. AC 3 totally deserves it, I loved the game. SoundShapes definitely deserves it — — The Last Of Us is of course my most anticipated title and to many others too And of course to Killzone mercenary I share the same Excitement. Sid, so I was right that this was the first time for this poll? Anyway, Sid, sometimes I see flashes of great writing from you, as in your opinion quotes above.

You should copyright that. Merry Christmas to the Blog staff. Aside from some of the questionable touch controls I thought Uncharted GA was a very very close second place to Uncharted 2. Removal of the touch controls and a bit more filler in the story would have made it 1. Care to explain why a lot of people are having problems not having it to work!! I tried to DL the file on the Vita but it keeps stopping, and every time I try to re-downloading it it restarts!

I need answers to this issue NOW!!! Especially Uncharted. They did a phenomenal job! All 4 games on that Most Anticipated list are games I will be buying and am very excited for but Watch Dogs!!!!

This game is going to be SICK. Such poor taste… AC 3 is a complete joke. The second worst game of the franchise.. But man, AC3 really?

Nice winners. I follow the steps. Both Vita and PS3 are on my wi-fi signal. I played some GOW via remote play to make sure Ihave that right and everything is done right. So why is it when I click on cross control o LBP2 when Im on the pod and start cross control on my Vita nothing happens? I know a app is supose to download. FIX IT!!!!! You or MM get off your asses and get to work on this.

Alot of people are going mad a d getting inpatient. The Last Guardian is never coming out, definitely not on the PS3. I agree with all apart from Ps3 game of the year, AC3 is good and all but I do think there was other games that deserved the title more. I think AC 3 won due to the fact the game is a very well known franchise and people are more familiar with the name than any other title.

Then again, my opinion only at the end of the day. Max Payne 3 is my game of the year. Then again, Far cry 3 is waiting underneath the Christmas tree so that can very well be changed. At least Far Cry 3 made it. A good year. Not the best but good. Oh, and next year… starting with Ni No Kuni… will be awesome!
