I don't think GTA IV necessarily wins GOTY in lots of places. I think most review sites believe they got caught up in the hype a bit on that one, and they scored it too quickly, with too few getting full retail versions in time to play it all the way through before posting scores due to deadlines and competition. IGN, 1UP and others have all mentioned this on various podcasts. Plus games released earlier in the year tend to get forgotten with all the shiny new games coming out later.

I think LBP, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears 2, GTAIV and MGS4 all win awards from various places. I wouldn't even be surprised to see some love thrown at a downloadable game like Braid or Castle Crashers either.

 

You forgot SSBB, Mario Kart Wii, and possibly Wii Fit.

No.  I really didn't.  None of those will win GOTY except for a Wii-specific category.  They just aren't good enough, in my opinion.

 

 

Right.  That's why I said "I think.....will win."  You told me I left the games out of my opinion.  Which is weird.  

 

 

Yeah, I can say I think Madden 09 will win GotY awards everywhere but that still doesn't mean I'm right or shouldn't be mocked.  Trust me, MKWii and SSBB will win things too.
