Next up in our 2008 Game of the Year picks is PC gaming. Some people say the medium is dying, but I beg to differ given the tremedous amount of quality titles that were released this year. So let’s get right down to it.
Coming in third place is EA’s Spore. Even with a bit of controversy, Spore provided a solid take on multiple game genres and let you play god to your creatures in a whole new way. Will Wright continues to prove that he knows how to make a great game.
It’s that time of year again. Loot Ninja is bringing you our picks for 2008’s Game of the Year. We’re breaking it down into various categories leading up to the overall Game of the Year pick coming soon. Check back every day for something new.
Today we’re kicking things off with our picks for best Mobile game of 2008. Mainly, this category is iPhone/iPod Touch gaming. Once the App Store came about, the mobile gaming scene burst open with developers taking a crack at Apple’s little wonders. Who did the best?
Spike TV’s sixth annual Video Game Awards will be broadcast live on December 14th from Sony Picture Studios in Culver City, California. GTA IV leads all nominees with a total of eight while Metal Gear Solid 4 earned seven and LittleBigPlanet along with Fallout 3 have earned six each. Don’t worry kids, Gears of War 2 has been nominated for game of the year but faces stiff competition.
There are a total of 26 awards up for grabs this year along with musical entertainment by 50 cent. The show will also include world premiere footage from various unnamed games. Just in case that isn’t enough to make you watch this year’s show, there are quite a few major celebrities that have an opportunity to win an award for the category “big name in the game”. Whether or not they are physically present to accept the award remains to be seen.

Best Buy seems to have confirmed what we have all been wondering. Will there be a Game of the Year edition of Call of Duty 4 on the PS3? Well, the answer is yes.
According to the electronics retailer, the PS3 version with the Variety Map Pack will be shipping on April 24th, exactly 21 days after the Xbox 360 maps hit the Xbox Live Marketplace.
If you’re a PS3 owner and are looking to buy CoD4, it would be a good idea to wait a bit to get that extra content for free.
2007 was one of the best years ever for gamers. We saw some amazing games on every platform. There were sequels that took their game to that next level, and new franchises that redefined their genre. With that said, there were just too many great games for the team here at Loot Ninja to come with a decisive overall Game of the Year. Two of us picked the same game, Call of Duty 4, but everyone else couldn’t agree on the best title of the year. We’ve got votes for Uncharted, Metroid Prime 3, and Halo 3. So we’re just going to let you see all of our picks for the coveted 2007 Game of the Year.
We ran a poll last week to try and find out what you thought would be the 2007 Game of the Year. A lot of you weighed in, and here’s how it came out. We’ll present the top 5 games here:
Thanks to everyone who voted! There were a ton of great games this year, so making the elusive Game of the Year choice is tough. You can expect to see our picks this week.
It’s that time again when all media outlets pick their Game of the Year. Don’t worry, we’ll be throwing our hat in the ring soon enough. But in the meantime, we want to find out what you think. What should be the 2007 Game of the Year? We’re giving you a lot of choices here, some of which you might laugh at. But hey, it’s a free country, right? The polls will be open until Wednesday December 19th at 8pm EST. At that point, we’ll tally up the votes and post the Loot Ninja Reader Game of the Year for all to see. Feel free to leave your comments as to why you voted how you did.
