Oh no! Not the extremely prestigious Golden Joystick Awards!
In my opinion, COD4 is just as overhyped as GTA4. Game of The Year? Seriously? (From the Interactive Achievement Awards, a REAL award)
Besides, by the large majority of non-messed up calendar cycles, COD4 was released LAST year. It's already won several GoTY awards it didn't deserve. Besides, Gamespot and IGN gave the 2007 award to Super Mario Galaxy, which DID deserve it, but that means it's highly unlikely (impossible) that they will give Game of The Year to Brawl. Wii game definitely, overall, no way.
Gamespot and IGN, having given GTA4 and MGS4 both 10s, will probably want to stick by that, yes? Why would they give out two perfect scores, and then give Game of The Year to a 9/9.5? Gamespot also gave LBP a 9, so that's out of the question, IGN gave LBP a 9.5, so it's extremely unlikely.
For those two, it really depends. If they stick to their inflated ratings and hype (it's probably all gone by now), GTA4 will snatch the award. IF, however, they realise just how disappointing GTA4 was, and that they loved it for no apparent reason, MGS4 will win it.
I hope it's the latter.
