CoD 4 was amazing.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;29636992]The list of nominees was fucking stupid, 3 games per console per generation. And for some reason Black Ops was the only game nominated more than once.[/QUOTE]

And yet it didn't win because then they would have to reveal the horrible truth of why the game sucks.

also op updated with kotaku article.

I personally think Yoshi's Island should have been on there. Shigeru Miyamoto was told to make a more realistic looking Mario, so he did the completely opposite thing and made a game with silly crayon-drawn backgrounds.

[QUOTE=Ryuken;29636780]i agree with most of the winners, but i kinda wish that okami, KHII and FFX could have all won in the ps2 adventure section, hell they should add all the nominees to the museum aswell[/QUOTE]

kingdom hearts 2 was a confusing mess of terribly thought out disney references shoe horned into a squeenix soap opera plot

both 3 and 4 dog were good, dog.

Why the fuck isn't portal 2 up there?

[jordguitar]

[QUOTE=nmagain;29637173]Why the fuck isn't portal 2 up there?[/QUOTE]

Because it was not released before they started researching and did the vote for these games. They did a cutoff and the people within the museum choose the games for the vote and we voted the ones that defined that generation.

[AtomicWaffle]

Where's Half-Life?

what are you talking about call of duty 4 was awesome, i bought it in 2007 and i still come back to it often. i have like 200.000 kills in my profile hehe

[Riutet]

Too many insignificant games in that list.

[Itszutak]

Halo 2?

I'm a big fan of the series, but honestly halo 2 was the only one that didn't really fit in, art-wise. What defines the halo series to me is bright colors and sharp detail, and halo 2 was very muddy and chose blurry bumpmapping over texture definition. Odd choice.

Why...

[Bokito]

Because Portal already is, and I think they came up with this before Portal 2 was released. Also, Halo 2 wasn't bad, but it was very unpolished. It was, however, one of the earliest and biggest console online-multiplayer game, which could explain it being on here.

[QUOTE=AtomicWaffle;29637257]Where's Half-Life?[/QUOTE]

lost to portal

[Lovely]

Halo 2 made it, but Half-Life 2 didn't?

[jordguitar]

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;29637481]Halo 2 made it, but Half-Life 2 didn't?[/QUOTE]

as I said, lost to portal

[An Armed Bear]

I think Elder Scrolls deserves a few spots on that list...

[Exploits]

[QUOTE=Riutet;29637288]Too many insignificant games in that list.[/QUOTE]

Seriously. Many aren't even artistic or groundbreaking, just popular.

[evilweazel]

Halo and Starcraft were two I was hoping for and that I'm glad made it, both changed the way their respective genres were made by quite a lot.

[Javascript]

Saw Bioshock, was instantly intrigued.

[CoolCorky]

Minecraft :toot:

[quote]Halo 2
Heavy Rain[/quote]

what the FUCK

[Loures]

Thank god Doom II is there atleast.

[Aurora93]

replace halo 2 with half life

heavy rain can stay there, it was unique enough of a game (indigo can suck my dick)

[booster]

Why the shit wasn't Braid on that list?

I mean the soundtrack alone should get it on the top #10

I would personally swap out DOOM II for DOOM 1 but that's just me.

[Mr. Scorpio]

[QUOTE=Aurora93;29637571]what the FUCK[/QUOTE]

heavy rain was an interesting idea, you have to admit

it fell flat on it's face, yeah, but it was a valiant effort

Oh fuck yes.

Sly Cooper beats the shit out of Wack and Ziki or whatever the fuck.

Oh I didn't realise games had to have significant and mainstream to have a good art style.
