GameSpot's Best of 2009: Special Achievement Awards Winners

[WarriorShooter7]

Demon's Souls should definitely won Best Atmosphere. It deserved at least to be nominated

[PhillyPuma]

funny ending



[MrTwistedSnail]

Does anyone else notice how he talked about the DS version of Chinatown wars, but the gameplay's from the PSP

[xelvargx]

aw cmon the maw shudve won that :)

[lcradical]

assassin creed have the best story

[0644742766]

Lol Icio

[brianjmugs]

this might as well be called gamespot hands out lots of awards to Killzone 2 in 2009

[TheGorilla999]

THe pS3 kills everyone.

[dottorrent]

Hey coach is best new character

[christian5197]

its enzio

[TheAlin25]

ive seen 1 hour videos man dont get to pumped up.....DAMN:))

[hamie96]

Big Bang Mini FTW

[docwuwu2]

assahole mw2 should be game of the year for 2009

[cryropackter]

@docwuwu2 there is so many better games out there then cod. cod only good for online

[JoeyXirmi]

@docwuwu2 MW2 doesn't offer anything besides an addicting yet generic multiplayer.

[andre3285]

Eatseeyo xD (Ezio)

[iamheartoflion]

whats with all the fanboys givin credit to cod mw 2. it honestly is not a good game.

[squishyblanket]

@iamheartoflion I think you should see this: pbskids(dot)org/arthur/games/f­actsopinions/

[coolboy273]

Isaac or Yusuf should have the award for best new character! Isaac and Yusuf is as funny as shit!

[Swood44]

i think sev from killzone 2 shouldve at least been a nominee for best new character

[BlastofFire1]

Several games in these categories are very wrong.

An example is the Downloadable Game section. Splosion Man, Shadow Complex, and Flower are lightyears ahead of games like Trials HD, Comet Crash, and Shatter. Only

one of the good titles was mentioned.

The Story. Uncharted 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Modern Warfare 2 are way ahead of games like Cyrostasis and Bowser's Inside Story.

Gamespot makes worse choices than Sega did on Sonic '06.

[dolinovodno2500]

WOW this video is the longest youtube vid i have seen!! new award!!

[DirtCREED]

look at the 911 falling man 1 hour video

[Tracker932]

@dolinovodno2500 search "Devil may cry 4" and watch the story. it will take you at least and hour or much more.

[gonzo191]

@dolinovodno2500 naw ive seen an hour plus long vid from stanford university

[0644742766]

@dolinovodno2500 There is 40 hour video lol

[WarriorShooter7]

@0644742766 there is a 3 weeks video seriously its about 700 hours video

[nightwolf117610]

Wait, wait... most memorable moment is something they stole from Saw?

What about CoD:MW2, when you mowed down all of those citizens. It was SO convincing that parents took the game back because of that one reason...

[demonkroka]

@mrcollingtonwood36

yeah your right

[ToroQ3000]

So glad Killzone 2 got the recognition. I've heard so many differing opinions on Batman, but this made me wanna check it out. And the last bit is really funny. Pretty good list, though I didn't see a "best physics and/or racing" between F1 2009 (which won't get it til they come out with the 2010 one for PS3/X360), Dirt 2, Forza 3, and anything else that had physics.

[minigun20]

killzone 2 wasnt good in my oppinion but thats just cuz i hate Riko, but it was way better then mw2, mw2 is just sad, its just iW building off ther previous games success, mw2 has a bad campaign and the multiplayer is WAY to noob friendly, lvl 1 went 12 and 0, that should NEVER happen

[bullsandmilk]

@minigun20 yea riko is gay cos of him garza died and he was my favorite charachter:D

[IshmaelDante]

@mrcollingwood36 have you even played it? the game is beautiful

[dadarkvador24]

dis is sooooo borin man

[Undeadvial]

one thing to ask... VGA Awards 2009 best action. wht was it?

[oOm3gaxx]

why does this lead up to being a ps3 fanboy let me ask a question to all the 360 fanboys name 5 excluives 4 the 360 this year(left 4 dead is on the pc to) the ps3 had a bad year when it first came out and no said shit did they sooo shut the fuck up with this fanboyism and rate a game without being bias

[hazerulez123]

the last award was funny

[Dimebag204]

it seems to be that Gamespot ae PS3 fanboys lol.

[Marlar93]

No, I don't think so, it's just that the PS3 had an outstanding year in 2009. :)

[richiehogan]

no just ps3 was the best this year

[Dimebag204]

To be honest, Assassin's Creed 2 graphics are better than Uncharted 2.

[fabian1696]

@Dimebag204

look at the hair in assains creed 2 it looks like crap

[Dimebag204]

Well, look at Uncharted 2's chunky graphics.

[fabian1696]

@Dimebag204

you are the only one hwo thinks that!!! this is true or?

[bullsandmilk]

@Dimebag204 it looks chuncky cos the footage is taken from multiplayer mods.Singleplayer looks 100 times better than mp and looking game on youtube doesnt show true potential

[Dimebag204]

I didn't say they ere bad, i just said AC2 graphics are better

[richiehogan]

lol

[IshmaelDante]

@Dimebag204 no theyre not. I own both. and to be honest, Uncharted2 has the best graphics in this generation. But you probably never played it so you wouldnt know

[Dimebag204]

lol. if uncharted 2 was multi-platform no one would make such a big deal.

and btw I really don't see any difference between Uncharted 2 and anoter run of the mill tomb raider game {graphics, gameplay and otherwise......besides the cover system was totally stolen from gears of war} - the graphics really are nothing special, not bad but not 'the best of this generation' lol- a few nice set pieces granted but c'mon

[IshmaelDante]

@Dimebag204 have you play the game? youtube videos cant show the magnificent attention to detail that the game provides. its jawdropping. each time i reach a new section of the game I stop for hours looking the view. its that amazing. I think that the only game with better graphics on the market is Crysis. Seriously Uncharted2 is the best lookin game on PS3 and from all the games Ive played on Xbox i can tell that no one looks better than Uncharted2. Not even Gears2, and I love Gears

[bullsandmilk]

@Dimebag204 gears of war stoled cover system from killswitch game and Uncharted looks better than fail tombraider underworld.If u are not impressed by graphics.Buy glasses?Or you went in future and saw Crysis 9?Really dont know for me uncharted looks spectacular

[nathmeisterman]

only the best of this console generation

[alparfejer]

buy glasses dude:P

[Dimebag204]

CRYOSTASIS LOOKS AWESOME.

[wrath0fwar08]

umm isnt it forza not "fortza"??

[wpgm1]

That's how it's pronounced. Just like Ezio is pronounced Etzio.

[wrath0fwar08]

yer it was kinda confusing me.. thx

[TheDynastking]

"Am about a dollar what the **** is 50 cent"

[DrAnimeArtistX]

modern warfare 2 should have won multyplayer!!!!!!

[slunMOS]

27:32 loool

[slunMOS]

best uk developed game gta chinatown wars ahahahahah

[JedrekenSederis]

Killzone won mulitiplayer?!?! WTF?!?!?

[prahladrulz]

no uncharted 2 is the games of the year!!!!

[dy5fUnCt10n]

gamespot fails, just look at all the controversy in the comments. no one can agree because they chose the wrong game. IGN ftw, at least they aren't fanboys like all these faggots

[alparfejer]

yeah , but fallout 3 as game of the year 2008?wtf mgs4 is a lot better

[FinderofNemo]

Battlefield 1943 isnt in best downloadable game? seriously?

[Exiaification]

Yes Ratchet and Clank Future a Crack in Time is Game of the Year

[paddyinpilani]

Worst ratings i've ever seen..

[ballesteros1992]

agree

[daernac123]

i love games, :(!

[ballesteros1992]

worst game rating video that i've ever seen

[yoyodude511]

@ballesteros1992 why cause PS3 has been slapping faces over and over again

[ballesteros1992]

@yoyodude511... mmm... not really.... just cause i think that some of the winners should not have won... (BTW i got a PS3)

[yoyodude511]

oh ok cause I know some would agree with me, but yeah there is hordes of games that shouldn't have won what they won

[camoman2047]

if killzone 2 was on pc, i'd be a vry happy person

[TomatoDragon]

If your using you pc to game, instead of making money, you've got mush for brains.

[1916padraigPearse]

call of duty add me on ps3 lyttlegunner94, im amazing

[wizzy1246]

not a big fan of PC games......ps3 is my thing

[zutroy1]

Wow, GameSpot is so hung up on terrible console games.

At the beginning, I thought that GameSpot simply sold the award titles to the highest bidder (ie: 50 cent game, xbox-only DLC for GTA4) but after watching the full half hour, it's clear that GameSpot just shamelessly supports console. Sad but understandable, that's where the money is and the companys are going, thankfully I have less time for games all the time. Too bad for the gamers of the future though.

[oOm3gaxx]

@zutroy1 dude ur being a fanboy considering u havent played the games i played killzone and mw2 there both good and they both got the same score on many websites if u played the game u would understand

[xcivx31x]

wow, so many awards for killzone 2.. that game's so trash =.=

[TheXcessive]

lol, what the hell are you saying? Youre prolly the only one that thinks Killzone 2 is shit.

[bluntman860]

@TheXcessive i dont think its shit, i just dont favor killzone2, i just didn't like the aiming in it, the heavy feeling screwed me up all the time when i played online

[Kranitoko]

OMG GAMESPOT WE GET IT! YOU LOVE THE GAME FLOWER!! lol

[crimson177]

for Christ sake consoles have shit graphics. only the PC has good graphics. the ps3,s graphics card is comparable to nvidia 6800 AGP that's crap. PC is better in ever way.

[DevSivram]

However there is one fundamental problem wth the PC...u can hack when you play online games...currently there is no way some1 can hack while playing the ps3...btw thatz my opinion bro!

[TeskoVirgo]

Um... I'm a huge supporter of PC gaming. I love PC games and what you can do with it, but honestly, the consoles do actually have pretty good graphics, even lower powered ones like the Wii. Don't blind yourself with fanboyism. It isn't healthy. Calm down, realize there are strengths and weaknesses for all platforms (PC included, there are some serious disadvantages to PC gaming if you allow yourself to be honest), and remember that these games are here for us to have fun with.

[computergeek836]

Only by a few margins.... PS3 and Xbox have more than enough graphics...

Consoles are just more... I don't know... better?

They may not have the Graphics of the PC.. but come on!

Consoles were made for Gaming, you don't need to do much set up too...

It's like... iPhone vs Android, iPhone has everything ready to use out of the box.

Android also does, but you need to download some extra features for it to be like the iPhone..

(even thought Android is better \/^_-)

[afjkidd5]

Fallout 3 for DLC

[josephl64]

anybody else noticed that Nintendo 1st party games didnt win 1 award in all except for best in their own console and handheld (including other videos best in genre etc.)

[semisanity]

Maybe because their games just aren't as good as the other consoles'?

[psyckojoe]

how could they nominate trials hd in most original dl game? its nowhere near an original game. its just trials 2 all over again, and trials 2 is trials 1... it might be new to consoles and extraordinarily (real word?) fun, but it isnt original.

[sackboyz]

wow he said uncharted 2 didn't have a great story......

[udarari]

these guys really liked demon souls

[v1ol3nnce]

I completely disagree with all nominees and winners..

[moneyboyok]

i think fat princess should have won the best downloadable game

[ralphiemelphie]

im not sure about that one with the "newest character" cos, ezio is the main character of a game, and the rest are just some characters who will be seen several times in the game, but don't play the biggest role...

[SolidEva]

Yeah and why the hell wasn't Chloe Frazer from U2 included in the 'newest character' section!? She kicked ass!

[hymen2]

Gamespot is dead

RIP

[SycrosD4]

I wish they had done an award for Best Combat System. We saw some really good ones this year. Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and Muramasa all had great combat systems. Would have been nice to see.

[PizzaPayYan101]

lol,ending is funny

[PianoBassGuitar]

wtf dragon age had the best story by farrr

[197Callum]

lol according to them assassins creed 2 is only on the 360... right...

[OriFrish]

Wow they screwed COD6 this year.

and prototype has nominated only once?

AND WHO GIVES SHIT ABOUT THOSE SHITTI GAMES?!!?!

[OmfgABiscuit]

OmgfgGAWD pS3 IZ RULES AAWWGGH NOO ITS NOT xboX 360 POWNS It you people need some mental help

[OmfgABiscuit]

yea ive played killzone aswell i couldnt get into it :\ same with MW2 but left 4 dead 2 was awesomeeee

[ragzie13]

y did killzone 2 get so much awards iv plyed it and its the worst game ever

[kb24716]

fuck killzone. cod 6 is the BEST

[DevSivram]

Can you believe killzone 2 stole more awards than other xbox 360 only games...just goes to show...PS3 is 10 times better than xbox 360 games!!!!!!!!

[OmfgABiscuit]

@DevSivram you have some uber issues to care so much about your video games i think you should sort your life out

[DevSivram]

I just wanted to point something out bro...what is wrong with that?

[agentfire101]

trienea now you no they are just giving awards to games they like

[skater0611]

modern warfare 2 has the best online multiplayer

[TarquinUK]

killzone 2 everything ?????????? i'm confused am i the only one who thought that game was a broken mess

[demonicrabbitskull]

Haha. Love the category "Most surprising game to make it past Aussie censors".

Our government really does suck.

[osiris292]

yeah but at least under 18s over there arn't playing the most violent games out there. Over here kids as young as 11 are playing left for dead - thats not good parenting - it may "only be a game" but its rated 18 for a reason! I feel sorry for you guys all the same.

[DevSivram]

Where do u live bro?

[osiris292]

if you're replying to me then I'm from the UK.

[taraxDxD]

sony paid them to win almost all their exclusive shit bastards win any game that xbox360 strange not ps3 fanboys bastards

[ebelein]

@taraxDxD

lol ur a retard

sony cant do that

neither can any other company.

the 360 just doesnt has as many good games as the ps3 thats it.

deal with it .

your console is old . it sucks

[DevSivram]

@ebelein u Rock dude!!!!

[agentfire101]

thats your opinoion it means nothing

[The54ever]

you are awesome!

[SolidEva]

The Xbox 360 is clearly behind the times, SONY didn't pay GameSpot off for fuck sake! -_-

[FunnyGlitcher]

Your comment makes me lol :)

[taraxDxD]

gamespot fan boy ps3 FUCK YOU

[DevSivram]

@taraxDxD NO FUCK YOU u asshole xbox 360 piece of shit fan boy....shut up n go play your shit xbox 360 ass wipe!!!!!

[The54ever]

hehe ya guys PS3 RULES and always will rule!

[OmfgABiscuit]

wooooooooow you have some issues my friend @DevSivram

[DevSivram]

No my friend u have some issues coz u care bout ur xbox 360 so much!

[OmfgABiscuit]

i dont care about my xbox 360 so much because unlike you i can afford a 360 and a ps3 thank you good night

[NTwrestle]

wait... mf2 def had the best multiplayer

[SolidEva]

Nah, I thought it was a mess to be honest. 80% Of players camp like hell, overpowered killstreaks, people often spawn behind your back, essentially identical to Call Of Duty 4, making it boring very fast! Yeah, I hated it to be honest. . .

[NTwrestle]

it's kind of a mess they have been coming out with patches for the glitches and all the kill streaks can be countered with a javelin and cold-blooded. The spawn system seriously sucks though. I don't know why but I still think it's fun as hell. What evs.

[SolidEva]

Yes, the core gameplay is awesome, but its surrounded by too many issues.

[notoriouslynx]

What is the song played in the rock band 2 thing around 7:00 in the best downloadable content area?

[iJafa]

@notoriouslynx It's a song by Queen I think....

[Annieaksamia]

hmzuhh i am really bored and need some action... Anyone feelin the same way

[PS3mendaza]

I didn't agree with most of the awards, especially some PS3 ones (even though that's the console I own). The people at Gamespot are PS3 fanboys and the people at IGN are Xbox 360 fanboys.

[Puklinn]

yeah

[The904scooby]

damn even a PSP exclussive got an award!

[rebornl]

yay ratchet and clank won best writing gratz

[DoNultima]

I see a lot of angry fanboys in the comments LOL. I completely agree with Gamespot except best soundtrack and storyline. Soundtrack belongs to UC2 and Story definitely belongs to Dragon Age Origins.

[ganon95]

bit.trip void should have won

[iamblakeman]

wow Gamespot, really?

[aidenmccloskey]

best graphics artistic: give me one reason why Brutal Legend didn't win that. the scenery's mindblowing. it's such an under rated game. i hope they make a sequel despite gaming websites such as gamestop not appreaciting the potential and quality of this game.

Yusuf from GTA entertained me so much. although i'm happy with Ezio winning best new character.

[aleksicmarko]

say what u want but i think killzone 2 is deffinitely the best game i have ever played.the multiplayer is

just amazing

[cambohoo]

game stop are ps3 fan boys kill zone 2 they are yous fan boys i mean i would of understand like half of the awords to go to ps3 but its like 90 percent ps3 of the awards dont get me wrong i like ps3 but seruisly srry for bad english im not from there

[Frankensnizzle]

What kind of weed are you guy's smoking at GAMESPOT?I agree with a few.

[ornx0004]

This is bullshit!!! they get it all wrong -.-

[phynosis]

@ornx0004 lol.. they did? Im tired of seen Cryostasis

[archreaper990]

COD:MW2 for best online multiplayer please.

[HeyPeoplezzz]

OOOOooooo Nintendo are pissed!!!!!!!

[HUMBUS94]

KILLZONE 2?!?!?! THATS BS!!!! COD MW 2 is muuuuucccchhh better than that BS

[nhcrabtree]

i loveeeee Batman AA i like posion ivy XD lol

[warlik777]

@nhcrabtree posion ivy and quinn are sexy

[nhcrabtree]

i know rite

[raul1794]

they chosee the same game over and over that is dum.

[BearBudah]

Batman Arkham asylum reminds me very much like spiderman to the ps1. Very true to the comics! That's why it's succesful, because the game dosn't live on it's movie comrad reputation! Should I get Batman AA or Uncharted 2?

[V100BB]

Uncharted 2

[nhcrabtree]

@BearBudah Batman AA,because it is so FUNN trust me

[liljigga215]

damm good to see that ps3 finally got games.

[pinpop88]

why do i get the idia that killzone 2 is a good game

[superdupergamefreak]

b/c it is.

[juz1093]

I don't need an American to point out our countries Classification problems. It turned from an explanation about the decision, to his opinion of games in Australia... not needed.

[2xWoot]

PS3 fucking owns. gtfoooo 360 fanboys XD

[gamerkid163]

will they show ratchet and clank a crack in time hope they do

[BearBudah]

The game wins the award for Best writing/Dialogue

[twistedkatana1]

ok i don't understand the logic of killzone winning best mp. i could only play that game for a week or two after launch.if theres one thing you can't take away from mw2, is its multiplayer.

[INSERTNAM3HERE]

Ps3 dominated this year!! i was suprised so many Ps3 exclusives got nominated and won. KZ2 FTW!!

[illyas1]

killzone 2 best multiplayer of 2009 ftw

[Soulreaver51]

yea i really liked its multiplayer

[drew1355555]

lol no shadow complex for downloadable? wow.

[GodLikeSkillz89]

KZ2 does have very good sound.

[sebikpo96]

hell of an year to the ps3

[assassinforever97]

I really think BMAA should've won the most mermorable moment because when my screen started freakin out during the 3rd scarecrow encounter i thought my ps3 died on me. . .i actually turned it off =/. . .felt like a idiot when i found out it was part of the game. . .it was too realistic

[weegit99]

i did the same thing XD

[FunnyGlitcher]

Killzone 2 would be a great game if the controls weren't so sluggish, but since the controls are slow, sluggish and clunky it's just a big meh for me.

[GodLikeSkillz89]

@FunnyGlitcher

KZ2 controls are not sluggish, its the realistic movement animation that makes it feel slow.
