Um ..maybe i am missing something but how does a game that's plagued with so many problems that are still to be fixed right get a award ? I have the PC version and it runs like crap ,stutters and many more things yet i come here and i see them getting awards for a shit job. The first batman kicked ass and i am damn sure the actual story and game play of this one is great but how do i congrats some one on a half done game. get it to run right and smooth then will give u the award.
@9htsky well if a AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition Quad Core OCed at 3.8 ghz , 8GB of DDR3 ram along with a AMD HD6990 video card and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit cant run this game at a solid 60fps when it can BF3 and Crysis 2 with Maldos high res texture mod , plus many more including the first bat man, well id say it is the game that sucks programing wise not my PC. Do some research, people with even more powerful PCs then mine are having the same issues.
It was close between UC3 and Batman i think but batman was indeed better, actually it was better than any game this year for me.. BTW why is deus ex in this category again?
I just finished the zsasz part and about to go into the stell mill with most of the missions and trophies done and I'm having a blast, I'm already looking forward to the next BATMAN game and finally while watching this I was playing the red hood track of the bridge just making more eager to play the game more (it may not be epic but it's my favorite track.
@TheMechaninja LA Noire is a sorry excuse for an open world, on top of that this is best action adventure as in epic action set pieces which Uncharted acheives in
Arkham City is just... overwhelming. You'd think that you've seen a good Batman villain then Rocksteady gives you someone else, then after that, another big one. They went through all these lengths to give us gamers the maximum Batman experience, and also giving us 3 characters more to play around with, not only that, they added skins to the players, and more challenge maps. Just truly outstanding work by Rocksteady. Thank you so much for this beautiful game.
Congratulations to Batman Arkham City! It truly deserves to win for it's very dark edgy and amazing atmosphere, it's well written story, it's phenomenal voice acting especially Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, it's layered dimensional and entertaining characters, and it's unforgettable kick ass action!!! This is coming from an Uncharted fan. I also love Uncharted 3 but I love Arkham City much more it just amazed me more besides Uncharted 2 was also better than 3 in my opinion! Long Live Arkham City
Saints Row 3 and Uncharted 3 are the best in this category imo, they made you feel like you were in some crazy amazing action movie. I actually hated the first Batman game (Arkham Asylum?), so I never really gave this one a chance. Is it better?
It shouldn't have EVEN been doubted that Batman wouldn't have won. I mean, it's been winning every award, from just about every gaming channel, and TV show, and online, that were doing VGA's. x)
@brownsugarcandie2007 What game do you believe should have won? I liked Uncharted 3 allot but I liked Arkham City just a little bit more I mean the story and the voice acting was phenomenal, I haven't seen voice acting in a game that good in a long time, and the characters were awesome and vivid, I liked uncharted 3 allot the story was great but the characters to me i don't know... just didn't click, and the voice acting was really good, just Arkham City was amazing.
@blainecol I loved SO many games this year. I'd go with UC3, since I've been a fan of Naughty Dog, for quite awhile.So I know the quality of gaming to expect from them as devs. But, I also love Batman as well, watched my bro play the 1st one, he just never got time to pick up AC. I also love SR3. The missions were action packed, & created characters fit RIGHT into the game,& it feels more alive, voice work, and everything. Defiantly a step up from SR2. This is a great year for gaming.
im gonna have to go with l.a. noire, don't get me wrong, i played the rest of the games but la noire was just plain awesome and it is one of the most unique games I have seen in a while. rockstar u did keep on bringing out good games, also the game style u get in the game, is not offered by other games on the market. im pretty confident abt that.
@sheeshumer100000 it does yes, but the other games showcased here contain more actual action than L.A. Noire. But you can have your opinion I'm fine with that.
I got a new title: Gotham City.
