THAT I can agree with.

Now I see what you meant. You're right; the gap has closed a lot in recent years. Even bad movie cash-ins are improving, and they're pretty much the filth of the gaming world.

I would definitely agree with this. That is why Gamefly has become my new best friend. I just wish I had signed up before I bought my copy of Force Unleashed

Batman Begins: The Game is a guilty pleasure of mine.

I'd rather put paper cuts between all of my fingers and toes everyday than play either of the two top choices.

I can say the same for COD5, but not GTA. I really don't see the big deal with ANY of the COD games, but COD5 doesn't even appear to be the best of the series. Besides, if I want to play a GOOD WWII game, I'll pull out my PSone and play MOH.

I haven't played COD 5...not a fan of the series. I do like GTA IV, too bad it didn't win.

no game is all that great. i dont know if its me.... but very few of the games that have come out these last few years have really grabbed my taste. madden used to be my favorite... but even that has gotten out of hand. ill stick to my call of duty world at war.

I actually used Medal of Honor as a demonstration in a report I did on WWII back in high school.

I'm going to have to actually dig out the disc now. I want to play it again.

Nobody mentioned Crysis because no one can actually play it. Personally, I don't believe it really exists.

anyone whos played MGS4 can arguably say that MGS deserves to win. That game in all respects was flawless. From the deep enchanting storyline that answers many questions that were unanswered, to the stunning visuals, it clearly shows that this game is just stunning. Though not the best MGS in my opinion it was truely awesome seeing a game pulled off in such fashion. The only gripe is the online mode could have been tons better.

Seems like you contradict yourself. Haven't tried it myself, but noone has said anything about that makes me want to shell out enough to buy a PS3. I'll probably pick up a PS3 when prices are low at this point and then go back and play the better games.

im sorry. That was contradictory. I meant to say the story line and game play were quite flawless. The online play did need to be better.

Without a doubt COD although I did kinda like Modern Warfare better. Would've like to see some more PC games though.
