PlayStation Awards 2008: The PS3 games

by Joystiq Staff { Dec 3rd 2008 at 11:30AM }

The results are in, and the annual 2008 PlayStation Awards out of Japan is now a wrap. The handing out of awards commemorates successful titles over the past year. It highlights the best of the best and honors titles that have sold more than 500,000 units with a Gold Award, and those which sold over a million with a Platinum Award.

Unfortunately, only one PS3 title made this year's list. That being, of course, Metal Gear Solid 4 with a Gold Award. With most of the other major PS3-exclusives releasing in late Autumn, we're not really surprised by this. Anyways, congratulations to you MGS4 for the recognition.

sinai @ Dec 3rd 2008 12:43PM

correct, but if it were global, it would be the global/international Playstation awards.

Why is MGS4 getting a "game" award....its more movie than game....piece of junk, if I wanted to watch a movie I would have put on a blu ray, not a game designer's piss poor attempt at movie directing....

And there you have it... someone who doesn't know a good game when it hits him in the face. HAHAHA! Just Kidding! If you have played the previous MGS game you will actually like the movies. It was a blast for me. Just opinions man don't take it so personal with games.
