Seems like a solid list.

10. Jericho
9. Crysis
8. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
7. Call of Duty 4
6. Halo 3
5. LittleBigPlanet
4. Rock Band
3. Mass Effect
2. Fallout 3
1. Bioshock

A lot of first-person shooters, but those are probably just the type of games they like the best.

I also wouldn't have put Killzone 2 over any of those. Maybe Jericho, but I have not even heard of that game.

 

[Soul4ger]

Bioshock on #1 but no KZ2 on the list... right.

Uh.. this is probably the least of that list's problems. Seeing as, ya know, Bioshock deserves to be on it but Killzone does it.

 

[Finncognito]

I mostly agree with those lists.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Jericho being above Killzone is just silly.

 

[thekad]

Jericho being above Killzone is just silly.

You have to remember that they were at E3.

 

[AppleMIX]

They have a lot of great games on that list, just not really in the right order.... and they're missing a few.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Uh.. this is probably the least of that list's problems. Seeing as, ya know, Bioshock deserves to be on it but Killzone does it.

Huh?

 

[SepticLiquid]

Gamespy is not worth my time

 

[othersteve]

Guess they never played those other two Galaxy levels (you know, the

Spoiler

secret

ones). Their write-up even says four levels.

 

[ParticleReality]

You have to remember that they were at E3.

Huh? Wasn't Killzone 2 at E3? I could've worn that Newsweek did their write up at E3 after playing the game....at E3.

 

[Cheesemeister]

A lot of first-person shooters, but those are probably just the type of games they like the best.

Just a bit, huh?

 

[Markster]

The special awards are usually the best:

Best Game Where We Better Play as Snake: Metal Gear Solid 4
Best Innovation: Wii Fit
Best "It's Finally Playable!": Assassin's Creed
Best Sign Capcom is the Good Crazy: Resident Evil 5
Best Trailer: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Best Game We Couldn't Get Hands-On With: Killzone 2
Best Downloadable Hidden Gem: Everyday Shooter
Weirdest E3 Press Conference Moment: Chewbacca Hugging Jack Tretton

 

[Fragamemnon]

Best Game We Couldn't Get Hands-On With: Killzone 2

That somewhat explains why it wasn't on their top ten list, though I don't think it would have made it up very far even if they could have played it. Might have at least edged Halo 3.

 

[Luckyman]

Why would Killzone and MGS4 be there? They were a bunch of videos.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Why would Killzone and MGS4 be there? They were a bunch of videos.

Non-games are all the rage these days.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Why would Killzone and MGS4 be there? They were a bunch of videos.

i guess you missed the screen where it showed the guy actually playing KZ2 during the demo.

Now MGS4? Yeah, that was a bunch of canned material.

 

[a.wd]

this list is not that bad killzone possibly over jericho but whatever,

lists do not define us as people...memes do...

 

[krypt0nian]

Great list.

Anyone have a link to any of the 1 hour Fallout sage demo???

 

[Blader]

WTF kind of award is this?
"Best Game Where We Better Play as Snake: Metal Gear Solid 4"

Must have been some steep competition for that one.

 

[Dahbomb]

Best Game We Couldn't Get Hands-On With: Killzone 2

Well that explains some. They only gave awards to game that THEY could play.

 

[FrankT]

Bioshock, worthy. Can't wait.

 

[jetjevons]

They only gave awards to game that THEY could play.

There are so many reasons why this is a good idea.

 

[FrankT]

Great list.

Anyone have a link to any of the 1 hour Fallout sage demo???

I was wondering if there was any footage shot.

 

[Wink]

They're dead on with their Wii #1 and Bioshock deserves every bit of attention.
Everything else is a joke.

 

[Fjord]

I'm finding it hard to get hyped for Fallout 3 when all thats out there is that no content cgi trailer.

 

[gstaff]

Yeah, for now everything's been behind closed doors. Remember, of all the games that are on this list...Fallout might be the furthest one down the calendar.

Oh yeah, and the trailer isn't CGI

 

[Fragamemnon]

I'm finding it hard to get hyped for Fallout 3 when all thats out there is that no content cgi trailer.

Most of the hype is coming from a closed door, one hour demonstration of the game. Even the skeptics came away hugely impressed afterwards-and the PC gaming press had been giving Bethesda a real sense of skepticism ever since they announced the project.

Basically, it really seems like Bethesda is really doing things right with the game. Which is a huge relief for a game that is sure to be one of 2008's biggest releases.

 

[Hunter D]

I'm finding it hard to get hyped for Fallout 3 when all thats out there is that no content cgi trailer.

The trailer I saw on XBL was realtime.

I don't know how anyone can be surprised by bioshock being number 1. The game looks to be really unique.Setting a teddybear on fire and thorwing it at your enemies looks like so much fun.

 

[GreekWolf]

I can't be too upset with any list that has Bioshock and Mass Effect in their top 3.

I think you've gotta put Killzone in there as well, based on graphical splendor alone. If not that game, then Mario Galaxy.

 

[Dr.Hadji]

Best Game Where We Better Play as Snake: Metal Gear Solid 4

Brawl got robbed.

 

[jrricky]

What I find amazing is that the list doesnt contain a single Wii game. Probably they didnt get to play Galaxy or Prime?

 

[Crisis]

Spoiler

WAI

Spoiler

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING IN SPOILER TAGS ABOUT.

 

[Z3F]

i can't and i have a heavy PC background.

the only reason i can see someone with a heavy PC background snubbing it is because it isn't on PC.

Isn't Killzone 2 running at 30 frames/sec? I know many PC gamers who can't stand it when a shooter runs at less than 60 fps. It's a major reason why older FPS games are often more popular than newer ones on the PC. 30 fps is considered pretty good on consoles but it would be considered disastrous on the PC.

 

[Pastry]

All is right in the world Mass Effect was #3.

Spoiler

WTF why wasn't it #1

 

[plagiarize]

Best Game We Couldn't Get Hands-On With: Killzone 2

Well that explains some. They only gave awards to game that THEY could play.

Call of Duty 4 was not playable at the show due to someone having a print magazine exclusive on the first hands on session... yet it made the top ten.

 

[deadairis]

All is right in the world Mass Effect was #3.

Spoiler

WTF why wasn't it #1

There was only so much I could do in the face of Fallout 3 and Bioshock's deific twin glories.

 

[Yoboman]

Wow, Gamespy still exists?

 

[Alex]

How dare they not highly rank a teaser trailer only showing of a sequel to a mediocre game.

 

[MaizeRage25]

What an ugly website.

 

[Karma Kramer]

I think that is a pretty excellent list to be frank. I am glad to see Bioshock and Crysis get a mention...

Mario Galaxy should have been in there... but other than that... solid list.

 

[Chairman Yang]

The top two choices are excellent. The rest, not really.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

hm..so far 1up.com surprisingly has the Best of E3 list that i agreed with the most

Plus they were smart to not rank them

 

[B E N K E]

Call of Duty 4 was not playable at the show due to someone having a print magazine exclusive on the first hands on session... yet it made the top ten.

It was most definitively playable. However, Mass Effect and Fallout 3 weren't.

 

[Wollan]

Best Game We Couldn't Get Hands-On With: Killzone 2

PS3 owners will moan like whores when this game releases.

 

[Secks4Food]

Bioshock on #1 but no KZ2 on the list... right.

Beautiful art style/innovative gameplay vs. black, orange and gray/derivative run & gun & nothing else...seems right to me.

 

[p3tran]

so how 'bout the "OFFICIAL BIOSHOCK THREAD"?

isn't it time that it is created? lots of wonderful stuff about this GREAT game, and all are scattered in various info bits in various topics (like mass effect too)

 

[Wollan]

People couldn't come in fast enough to bitch about the Lair thread going up as early as two weeks ahead but I'm personally fully for a Official Bioshock thread.

 

[Safe Bet]

I knew better thasn to eneter this thread...

Nice to see Bioshock has become the fps player's ICO but I fail to see what the game offers that has 360 fans so excited...

It looks like Call of Cathula (sp?) underwater...

*shrug*

Is the game non-linear?

Does it offer some kind of new gameplay mechanic?

Is the game's AI ground breaking?

Does the game feature online co-op?

I am sorry but I have heard nothing about the game that cause me to say, "OMG BIOSHOCK MUST HAVE NOW CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY WHAT LOOKS TO BE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!"

 

[hauton]

I'm going to be the Gamespy Defence Force and post an article from back when they were good:

[TEH-CJ]

Halo 3 made it on the list and killzone 2 didn't ?

Disgusting.

considering you know..killzone 2 blew away pretty much everyone at E3 and uhh halo 3 didn't
