GamingAssassin Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 MetaCritic GOTY Awards : Sure, next year superhero fans—and entertainment fans in general—will be talking about Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. But no matter how good it is, that movie will have a hard time matching the critical acclaimed earned by the latest incarnation of Batman in game form. A huge sequel to 2009's Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City 96 (on the PS3) edged out the 360 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 96 by a few decimal points to take top honors as Metacritic's 2011 Game of the Year. Arkham City, though, was just one of many amazing games to be found during the past 12 months. All in all, there were 23 great console releases (with Metascores of 90 or higher) in 2011. That's the highest total in the last five years (and since the introduction of the current generation consoles). Throw in PC games and releases for handheld devices (iOS excluded), and there were a total of 32 great games released this year—also the highest mark in at least five years. In 2010, by comparison, there were just 22 releases to score at least 90. . The Batman Arkham City PS3 had only been critiqued by 41 Critics while the XBOX 360 Version had been critiqued by 87 Critics and the critics who gave low scores didnt even critique the PS3 Version. http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/batman-arkham-city http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/batman-arkham-city Link : http://www.metacritic.com/feature/best-video-games-of-2011 This Award has become a Fancy Joke.Metacritic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irredeemable Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 How can any other game even have a minor chance of winning when bethesda created a world within a game?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsOwn Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 If there were 32 "great games" in a year, i wouldnt say game developers were aces, but rather the critics were spades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Also, a PS3 multiplat defeats a 360 multiplat for GOTY. Massive Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanjosh Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 ^ Only based on other sites scores. It's in aggregator site. Also PS3 version of Arkham City has lesser than half the reviews of the xbox version. ps3 - 41 xbox - 87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickAssGamer Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Wonder why Metacritic is onto PS3 so much.. Skyrim is a beast of a game and Arkham City can't supposedly beat it (or atleast be tie). Both are completely different games. http://www.metacritic.com/feature/best-video-games-of-2011 No Xbox360 game in the Metacritic's Game of the Year .
