No fanboy, but I have a question about this list and lists in general because it seems to happen quite often when naming console-specific game awards. Granted that the PS3 has 3 exclusives on the list, but as far as the other games, why are they listed under specific consoles when they're multi-plat. Every game under the 360 list is gonna be on PS3 except 'From Dust' and the NFS and ACB under PS3 will be on 360. Do they run better on the system that they're listed for? I guess I'm saying, how can a system's best game be multi-plat. Unless the differences are as drastic as Bayonetta for 360 compared to PS3... -
Always felt the console awards should be strictly exclusives. Like why would deadspace 2 be the best 360 game when u can also get it on ps3, dont make sense to me

Look like we had the same idea at the same time -

From Dust is on all consoles -
BioShock Infinite, Irrational Games' first person shooter that was announced a mere week ago, has won IGN's Gamescom Game of the Show Award.
Irrational's Ken Levine was on hand to pick up the award, the first that BioShock Infinite has received. "It's a surprise," Levine said, "We're a week old and we've got our first award so thank you."
"We've been working on this for two and a half years and kept it a total secret and that was really tough to do – some people couldn't even tell their significant others what we were working. To have it here to show and be able to see people's reactions to it is so exciting."
BioShock Infinite is set on Columbia, a floating city that hosts the game's blend of shooting, supernatural ideas and stunning art design. We first laid eyes on it in New York and were left wowed.
Other winners included Epic Mickey which took the gong for best Wii Game, LittleBigPlanet 2 which won the PlayStation 3 award and Civilization V which took home the PC gong. Okamiden was the handheld winner, while BioShock Infinite also scooped the Xbox 360 prize.
