@Kantor and Leo-J -- In 2006, Final Fantasy XII was IGN's PS2 Game of the Year, but Okami a runner up with Guitar Hero 2 for PS2 Game of the Year wound up as their overall Game of the Year. So, they won't have any problem in giving GTA IV Overall Game of the Year this year. It is possible though that they might name Fallout 3 or Gears of War 2 the 360 Game of the Year. But, I predict that GTA IV will be the overall Game of the Year at IGN.

What? IGN's GoTY 2006 was Gears of War, and X360 exclusive. This was also their X360 GoTY.

PS2 GoTY was FFXII, like you said.

GH2 and Okami were runners up for PS2 GoTY.

Wait a minute, when did Okami become GoTY?

Okay, that makes no sense whatsoever. But it's a different situation.

Okami was runner up for its console and GoTY winner.

MGS4 is winner for its console and ___.

Okay, scrap that.

I suppose it all boils down to what wins 360 GoTY. If Gears 2 wins, then MGS4 has won GoTY, if GTA4 wins, it has a small chance of taking the overall title.

Still, I think that MGS4 is going to win.

EDIT: AHA! Okami was the overall best Adventure game while GTA4 has no genre victories, being in the same genre as MGS4. Another point for Kojima's masterpiece. The only explanation I can think of for 2006 is that editors not in the Playstation team liked Okami very much, and didn't like FF12 as much. Of course, Okami was exclusive, GTA4 is multiplat. So, if the IGN editors not on the Playstation team liked GTA4 a lot (I don't think they did), then GTA4 has a chance. But if it doesn't win 360 GoTY, it's dead.
