Well it's a voted on thing, so you have to expect some weird results. Like MGS4 with best graphics against Crysis. Or Persona 3 not being best RPG.

It's voted by people, so is it suprising if the game wins that more people played it.

I changed my mind i didn't see it was up against gta4 and call of duty 4. I guess G4 is filled with halo fanboys

The game of the year should be decided from january to march. After that, it's starting to look like the Academy Awards.

So a winner of 2008 is decided early August?

Not just that, but a 2007 game wins it?

Sorry to burst peoples bubbles, but there have been better games since Halo 3 released in 2008.

Microsoft...Pays g4...

So Halo didn't win Best Mutiplayer or Best Shooter but it wins GTOY. That doesnt make sense to me

I think many bots were involved. I don't even watch G4/X-play anymore. If I want to see a review, I just look it up online. The whole show of X-play has turned to X360 fanservice (It used to be more Sony oriented)

BTW, how the hell did MGS4 beat crysis in graphics??? I wish people would actually vote for what the category was, instead of what they like best.

SSB: BRAWL >>>>>>>>>> HALO 3

Bioshock was the true game of the year. It proved that M games are not just about swearing, shooting, and sex

MANY, MANY Better games. Bioshock and Brawl are both good examples.
