I like the art style that they have there.

GOTY is a bit of a stretch..

IGN has bucked against the norm before. They gave Okami GOTY over Gears of War and Twilight Princess even though it got a worse review from them. Obviously most GOTY's are going to GTA IV, but if Prince of Persia turns out amazing, it could sneak in a few.

 

 

i'm not so sure.. as you said they gave goty06 to a game that wasn't the highest rated.. i've found that a number of people (not by any means proof or anything) have lost a lot of interest in gta IV since the month after its release.. the friends i know, for instance, have stopped playing it altogether (despite not even having 50% complete)

This is obviously anecdotal, however it is the reason why i think its possible that gtaIV doesn't get GOTY despite the high scores that it initially got



The art direction is beautiful. I hope the gameplay delivers.



Glad to see that this game isn't going to be crap. I was worried. I love my PoP!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

I believe it is for the the PS3 and 360

 



Of course, IGN wanted to give MGS4 an 11, so hyperbole is not unfamiliar to them.
