GameTrailers gives MW2 PC game of the year.

I just don't see why COD can't introduce expansion packs.

I think everyone would buy a legit copy of Modern Warfare 2 - even for R350 - if they knew there were expansion packs running on the same engine with more missions for R200 down the line.

there........

The new term for "expansion pack" is, of course, "DLC". ;P

But there is DLC coming in the American spring as confirmed by some IW top twat.

COD Modern Warfare gets my vote for top 5 Games.
Borderlands should also be in there somewhere.
And Dragon Age Origins too !!
All very good games. 2009 was a good year

It was a good year, but 2010 looks like it might be even better.

Some people say MW2 earned more than 700 mil last year. And i thought about a little article i read on that subject. A PC gaming journalist asked the question.. Why is it that the retail price of MW2 is R400 and more for the standard version of the game when most new releases these days go for around R300. The supplier answered that they knew that this title would be in demand so they could raise the price.

It makes business sense but does that give it game of the year status. I dont know. I didn't even bother to buy this game, not just because of the ridiculous price but also because of what i would get for my money. Im old school gamer and so i only play single player. Multiplayer has absolutely no value to me. So i don't care how stunning the graphics are you better give me more than 6hrs of gameplay if you want to call your game exceptional and awesome. Well unless ofcourse you're 15 and you buy the game just so you can have bragging rights to your nerdy friends at school.

SP is more than 6hours if you play it on highest diffuculties, there is Spec ops which is very underrated and im sorry the only reason why any self respecting fps fan has not tried mw2 MP is because they dont have internet.

You can ask anyone on here that the MP is brilliant and for me personally so far well worth the R500. Yes there is a lot of issues with the hosting of games but the pure addictiveness is scary sometimes.

You say you are a old school gamer and you make valid point but mate please point me out nr. 1 a pc game these days which is R299.00 and nr.2 what fps offers you 3 different game modes which are all brilliant in their own right?

Of all the games this year, my GOTY pick would have been between DAO, Batman AA or Borderlands. The short length of the MW2 campaign disqualifies it from selection, in my eyes.

Portal won several GOTYs, and can be finished in less than 4 hours. :P I don't see why the length of a game has any relevance whatsoever. Lots of shit games are really long. It doesn't make them any less shit.

Still, I don't see the point in getting all hot and bothered about GOTYs. They're completely subjective - deal with it. No matter what game any site picks, there's going to be a huge bunch of people who disagree. Lol?

Also, I was really disappointed with Dragon Age: Origins. So. Boring. And. Full. Of. Clichés. I think it's the only game I played last year that I didn't bother finishing.

Batman: AA was awesome, though.

You can't be much of an old school gamer if you expect more than 6 hours of game time per title. King's Quest I could be clocked in less than 3 minutes.

As I've said above, there are a lot of great games that are pretty quickly over. Braid? Portal? Mirror's Edge? LucasArts' entire back catalogue of adventure games?

The length of a game is absolutely no measure of how good it is or isn't.

[EDIT] Oh ffs, necropost. Didn't even notice. >_>

And yet I wouldn't have selected Portal as GOTY either?

It was a fun, 3d puzzle solving game, but thats about it.

MW2 was an interactive movie. Fun, visually amazing, but it progressed on rails from the first shot to the last. It's nice when a game gives you a guiding hand at times, but when it grabs you by the hair and drags you along, it can get rather tiresome...
