rooting for dishonored to edge out in the end. also really happy that planetside leads vs cod. too bad for guild wars though:(

KniteWulfe 15 pts

I am guessing ME3, AC3, FC3, and Halo4 for the final four.  FC3 vs. AC3 in the final (mostly because people are still playing them) FC3 wins.  Not that I agree with that result, but just speculating based on the voting so far.

Alucard1475 127 pts

Awww look...Far Cry 3 has already reached the final four ahead of schedule.

gamesman10 12 pts

max payne will lose vs mass effect

gabyfawaz 9 pts

we can't compare Far Cry 3 with Walking Dead because they are two different types of games.

Ballroompirate 77 pts

 gabyfawaz Hope you know the brackets were random.

Justp94 9 pts

The fact that Journey was eliminated, and the fact that Walking Dead is going to be eliminated <<<

Faramir535 23 pts

The Walking Dead and Farcry 3, played both, I wouln't even consider voting farcry 3 man. What is it? a generic shooter is all, after playing Mirror's Edge, no fps game looked the same to me. About Walking Dead, for the last couple of years no game had this great story and art.

MidNightStrikes 87 pts

 Faramir535 Sooo.... Mirror's Edge Is You Borderline standard for First person games? Haha... Personally i have not played it... Looking into it during the coming sale

LE5LO 146 pts

 Faramir535 how much of FC3 did you actually play? On face impressions, sure, it's a generic shooter. But if you'd sunk the time into that I have I'm not sure how you'd still be thinking that. I'm not about to spoil the coolest part of this game in this post just to prove a point but it really seems like you've only played an hour of it or so? Stick with it, it's anything but a 'generic' shooter ;)  

I_am_Xero 8 pts

 Faramir535 It's gamespot! GAMEspot! or do i have to spell it more clearly?

reindertot 58 pts

Great Mass Effect 3 comeback! I won't be mad if Shepard wins. But i voted Dishonored

kinectrocks 8 pts

c'mon people dishonored should have more than 49.7% of the vote REALLY

carstenvw 5 pts

Guild war to will push through with more votes :)

 

MarcusB71 6 pts

borderlands 2 will win it i will pray for it xD

csveiman 12 pts

Of course this is never actually accurate, I mean come on Max paine winning over an artistic masterpiece like GW2, so win or loose dont take it seriously. 

neroist 14 pts

 csveiman I played GW2 to 80 on two toons and Max Payne surpassed GW2 in every way except co-op.

WCK619 711 pts

 csveiman bullpoop. No game this year was a "masterpiece" in any way. There were some good games but none this year were spectacular.

Faramir535 23 pts

 csveiman We shouldn't have to choose between a shooter versus an mmorpg. Ridiculous. But Max Payne 3 was a great game, I'm an fine arts student and I'm saying this, I didn't see any game like MP3 for years artisticly.

Daisukeuchiha 8 pts

Guild Wars 2 diserves a top place this year

Veloncia 7 pts

 Daisukeuchiha You and I think alike my friend

warlordneuro 6 pts

PlanetSide 2 should go the distance and win! If you haven't played it yet, you haven't played the next generation in MMOFPS!

ESPM400 55 pts

 warlordneuro Although PS2 is not without merit, it still has a lot of work to do before it can be considered a great game. Mainly optimization so the frame rate won't chug so much, but they also need to work on ease of access. I haven't played very much of it yet, and it's been some time since I played a multiplayer shooter on a PC (Battlefield 2142 was the last one), I found it about as easy to get into as a kevlar vest with it's sides sewn shut. Good game, just still needs some work.

TheCharismaticE 5 pts

 YoungPrinceT People LOVE Halo 4, as well as me, it's COD: Black Ops 2 I hate and I'm concerned about Halo 4 vs Borderlands 2 and if after that, Halo 4 and Far Cry 3

ESPM400 55 pts

 Raven_rj3000 Sorry mate, you're a day off...

Arules212 13 pts

Come on Guild Wars 2, pull through for me!

jemoedr 26 pts

Pffff, Civ V was so much better then Xcom... Just as Journey is much better then the walking dead...

ESPM400 55 pts

 jemoedr On a longevity standpoint yeah, Civ V was better than XCOM. I've sunk a lot more time into Civ V. If you go for fun however, XCOM takes it hands down. A marathon Civ game can take up a lot of your time, but when XCOM came out it pretty much consumed my time, if you catch my meaning. My first playthrough I ended up taking a sick day from work just to finish it. Something I can't say for Civ.

LAnoirFAN 38 pts

i wish if i liked ME3 ending, but no, so Dishonored i choose you!

Dragonborn569 8 pts

 LAnoirFAN Just because of the ending? Wow, you really are a moron.

L3X18999 18 pts

 Dragonborn569  LAnoirFAN Because he has a different opinion than you? Nice...

Thedmaster 9 pts

 L3X18999  Dragonborn569  LAnoirFAN Am I the only idiot around her who actually thinks that the ending was good, considering it's not just about the story of a single hero (or a group of heroes) but rather the story of a whole galaxy, and as such an epic "who really know what happened to those guys 4000 zears ago?"-ending was needed?

P.s.: I know people will kill me because of evident disconnections with part of the Lore of ME3, but i liked the ending.

gamerSDP 5 pts

 Thedmaster  L3X18999  Dragonborn569  LAnoirFAN nope u r not d only one ..... i also liked d ending ... infact d ending was realistic and logically correct which makes it even more awesome ..... just dont undrstand y people complain about d ending ...... it was quite appropriate .....

carstenvw 5 pts

 Dragonborn569  LAnoirFAN Are you kidding the ending is what your playing for to see what happens through the story a crap ending ruins this so your the moron 

MarcusB71 6 pts

 carstenvw  Dragonborn569  LAnoirFAN ughh not really me3 is still a way better game u can not say anything against it or you will be destroyed ok bud ok not like im talking to u on skype right now u know kuz im not ok so ya.!.!

Thedmaster 9 pts

The hardest choice really, Dishonored vs ME3... But I cannot tolerate leaving Tali to deal with such a dangerous character as Dishonored main protagonist!

YoungPrinceT 24 pts

LOL you can tell by looking at these brackets, Gamespot wanted it to be Blops 2 vs Halo 4 in the Final.  Little did they know that people now dislike both series.  What a fail Gayspot what a fail.

Daian 1053 pts

 YoungPrinceT It was a random RECORDED draw. What a comment fail GayPrinceT what a fail (I hope I mimicked your stupidity accurately enough).

shetukhan1 7 pts

Darksiders 2 ,man such a disappointment....!!!!I can bet Hitman absolution will be this years Best game..........

 

Dragonborn569 8 pts

Planetside 2 is back on track, for the moment. C'mon people vote for Planetside 2 so that Black Ops 2 won't move on to the next round. Planetside 2 in all aspect is better than Black Ops 2.

AmirRokni 6 pts

 Dragonborn569 shut up COD is much better

 

 

Daian 1053 pts

 AmirRokni  Not sure if trolling or delusional. I pitty you either way.

connorx94 33 pts

@Daian @AmirRokni Fuck you, mass effect 3 is winning bitch. And by the way ive played dishonored

ESPM400 55 pts

 connorx94  That was pretty uncalled for, given that wasn't even what they were talking about. Oh yeah, and well I'm here I might as well say that BLOPS2 is drivel while at least PS2 is trying to innovate some... yada yada
