The EOD Bot fail was priceless. Love how the music just stops and you watch it roll and crash.

For some reason made me think that that was something out of Toy Story. xD

Better than uncharted 3? no fps is going to be a better game than that. chosen on the back of the hype imo. what a joke!

Where does it say that?
As for it not being better, Battlefield 3 is in a different genre than Uncharted 3, so obviously you can't compare the two.
Also, I believe it got the "Best of Gamescom" award because Uncharted is pretty much the same, probably.

Come on this is just ridiculous it hasn't even been released yet, and i bet no one here can name 5 FPS's they still play, and take nostalgia out the picture i doubt you can name 2, and i can guarantee even if it is good it'll just be replaced and forgotten about when BF4 comes out. I dunno who gives out these awards but they either earning money for saying that or the event's run by a bunch of 12 year olds.

CoD: 4, FEAR 1-3, Fallout 3(FPS/RPG hybrid), Half-Life 2, Halo: CE(occasionally ).
I agree about the last part though.
