Forums - Gaming - game of the year

ok everyone, its starting to get towards the end of 2008 and i'm wondering what the 2008 game of the year is.  Personally i  think it is gears of war 2 but i want to hear what all of you think it is.  you can say your favorite and/or game you think will be the best game in general, not from 1 site or magazine, but the game with the overall most praise

Persona 4 ....End of thread/ =p...






LBP, reinvigorating the base.

My vote would go to Fallout 3.
GTA 4 got an overwhelming response from the media, and was smash hit. so its the leading contender, i guess.

Even though I enjoyed Gears 2, MGS 4, and (to a much lesser extent) GTA 4, I'm hoping that it's NONE of these games. My vote is for something new like Braid. My opinion has been known to change, though.



Top 5

MGS4
GTAIV
GOW2
LBP

The answer is an emphatic Grand Theft Auto 4. The game does not merely excel in one area it excels in all the relevant areas. The single player mode has depth in spades. A good storyline, decent dialogue, humor in spades, and has more then enough game play mechanics for any three games on the market. All of which is pulled off flawlessly.

That would be enough to warrant such acclaim. However Grand Theft Auto has a massive world to explore, has an almost infinite variety of side quests. Which based on the games design can actually be played in various fashions. With hundreds of secrets to find. The game can easily mount upwards of over a hundred hours. This all before you get into the online modes.

The game positively shines online how many games have online modes where you may spend days just tooling around doing your own thing. The game allows for player control of all features, and lets be honest how many games let you have a sixteen man bull rush on NPC bots. Get sixteen guys together keep the cops on, and see how long you can hold out. Remember everyone pick up a rocket launcher those copters are real killers, and remember last man standing has to try to escape.
