@bones – Yeah, that’s always a tough thing. The games released later in the year are always fresh on the brain and sometimes you can forget about the older titles. A lot of times, the Holiday games are the best. This year, things were a little more spread out in terms of the blockbuster titles.

I think that’s a fair enough list. The only thing is that both GTA4 and MGS4 came in the Spring/Summer, and so their appeal wouldn’t have been as immediate as GW2.

@loots – Yeah, now that I have had time with Gears 2 I would want that vote back. Gears 2 is just too broken to deserve GOTY.

How many free copies for gow2 were given to loot ninja to select it as game of the year?
Really?
Gears 2?
Really?

The only great part of the game was multiplayer, and that’s only because horde mode was awesome…but i personally dont think a game should win based on 1 multiplayer mode. In your own ‘pod cast’ you even said how lame the last boss was(as well as other bosses). You also mention that the story line was basically the same as gears 1, sans a love interest.

But, ok, it was a great game, and fun to play co-op with a friend, but i really dont think it could be considered game of the year over some of the other great titles put out in 2008. Fine for best game on XBox, but where’s the Fallout 3 love?

Don’t even get me started about GTA IV in the top 3. boooooooooo.
