HALO 4 im glad it won 2 awards it deservs it best game i played all year,=D
A pretty amazing show, I’m happy with the results :D it feels like real gamer did vote, not just fanguys. Thank you Machinima, I love you
I like these results much better than the VGA’s. You guys are the best!
This is a excellent list. This is much better than the winners at the VGA’s. The only problem I have with this list is that Borderlands 2 did not win Best Co-Operative Multi-player.
I dare you to go and try to even survive the first wave of a platinum round by yourself in mass effect 3. It’s literally impossible, same cannot be said for borderlands 2, where I solo’d the game in one of my runs. Yes it’s better to play with friends in borderlands, but overall the level of absolute necessity to play with others in mass effect 3 overcomes any other competition for this category.
these awards > vgas.
these are sooo much better than vga’s and don’t seem to be given out just to give people what they want.
wheres blops2? lol NOT HERE!
Halo GoTy – Yes.
Dishonored enviro. – Yes.
Spec Ops narrative – ????
There were millions of games that should have picked up bets narrative! Hell, Hotline Miami should have won!
*Breaks out in nerd temper tantrum*
Have you played Spec Ops: the line? its not just a save the day storyline and even though the gameplay is pretty bad the narrative is so intriguing, and eye opening and is the biggest F*** you to the Fox “America Rocks, Towel Heads will kill you if you dont agree” initiative. i recommend you play it even if its just for the Story. its just not your average Lets save the world in 8 hours kind of story and thats why it deserves Best narrative!
Just try it, just to get a sense of why it gets the award above all else.

Borderlands 2 Coop? I agree with everything else. Why no love for Borderlands?
