I can understand the logic. If you think it is the best game of the year, than it would be the best on each platform since it runs well on all of them. There were other games this year that I liked better but it is definitely the best multiplatform game. There will be lists worse than this before the end of the month.

Exactly. COD is a largely console series. Gamespy saying it's the best pc games have to offer and it being ported to the PC when other games such as those found in the orange box that have been developed for pcs first and foremost, is an insult to pc gamers like me.lockii said:

Call of Duty started on the PC. The original was only released on the PC. And COD3, the only console-only iteration, is known as the bastard child of the series.papelnabangka said:

Hmm at at all the CoD4 awards.
GALAXY is console gaming's last hope to survive!

Most of the big FPS released lately are roughly similar on both consoles and PC before you factor in mods or playing at extremely high resolutions. Crysis is the obvious exception, it would have to be altered dramatically to run on the consoles.
Orange Box could be a tricky subject as far as GOTY awards go. A lot of people played HL2 three years ago and EP1 18 months ago. The rest of it comes down to how much you liked the new content.

COD4 completely deserves GOTY, hands down (a least on the Xbox side). Its the only game I've played all year that is absolutely feature complete - and doesn't feel like it's missing something. In fact its got everything you'd expect, and then some.
Multiplayer alone had enough steam to take the wind out of Halo 3 for a lot of players, me included. The perk system works much better than I thought it would, and the xp/ranking, challenges and party system take the cake. The party system has a few bugs that split your party up, but they'll be ironed out with the next patch.
The single-player campaign gets a lot of shit on GAF for some reason. But its a perfection of the formula started in previous COD games, but taken to the next level entirely.
From starting you off on a swaying cargo ship in the Bering Strait, and the "you-are-fucking-here" opening credits, to Death from Above, War Pig, Shock and Awe, All Ghillied Up, and the final few psychotic levels, the game is just flawlessly executed.
I wasn't even planning on buying this game in the first place, but damn its turned me into a near fanboy. Other devs should stop and take notice at all the things Infinity Ward nailed with part 4.
60FPS, smooth controls and awesome animations FTMFW.

Where is Bioshock ?!??
You really need to invest a number of hours in the multiplayer to truly comprehend the full potential of the game and WHY it will be remembered and most likely still played online in the next few years. Especially on PC, the superior version. NARF. This one is for the ages, up there with vanilla CS.

Thanks for making my point better than me. And IW didn't even make COD3.Druz said:

Great list.

Reviewers think that if your game has good multiplayer, a lame ass 5-6 hour long single player campaign is excused and the gates to GOTY awards are wide open. It certainly does not happen the other way around. If your game is a single player and you shoot stuff but it does not have a multiplayer, your game receives 7 - 8 scores in reviews and the reviewer will sure complain that they were UTTERLY disappointment that the developer didn't devout resources to improve or include a multiplayer experience. That is hypocresy.
besides, Bioshock is arguably a better single experience than COD4 is a multiplayer experience, same with Uncharted.

:lol It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so ignorant, and yet still presume to behave as if they know what they're talking about. Real PC gamers (see: not you) have been playing IW's Call of Duty games for far longer than console gamers; Call of Duty and United Offensive were PC exclusive, and the 360 version of Call of Duty 2 (the first console version of CoD) was ported to the system a month after its PC release.

I'm surprised Bioshock was left off completely. SMG doesn't have a chance, though.
Yep. The single player was nowhere near as good as many other FPS this year. Not even in the same league. The multiplayer is pretty slick, though, but I'd still take Halo 3 over it as the core mechanics are far more interesting and fun.
I can't believe that shit went on to win GOTY in the face of so many other greats. Bioshock? Halo 3? Orange Box? Uncharted? Crysis? Mass Effect? All of those beat the shit out of COD4 (in my humble opinion, of course). You know what? I even felt that GRAW2 and The Darkness featured superior single player campaigns over COD4 (especially GRAW2).
Furthermore, Medal of Honor Allied Assault was developed by many of the same people (they left to form Infinity Ward). I believe they were even behind the expansion pack for SiN (which was badass in its day). IW and crew have been working on the PC far longer than consoles. Their only consoles games are CoD2 and 4. Everything else is PC...
