We here at GamesOnSmash feel that even though there were several good nominees for Game Of the Year,  Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots wins GOTY hands down.  Here were our nominees: Gears Of War 2, LittleBIGPlanet, Grand Theft Auto IV,  and Metal Gear Solid 4. MGS4 wins GOTY for having the best overall graphics, gameplay, sound, and storyline throughout all of the nominees. There where also some other good games that came out this year such as FABLE II, Resistance 2, Burnout Paradise, and Fallout 3, but  Metal Gear Solid 4 was the cream of the crop. At the end of the day it was a great year for gamers all around.

Wow, I agree with every single award other then Wii Fit. If I had made these awards it would be that exact same list. I don't know who these people are, but good taste. :)

Wow some of the nominees for the sections are just awful. Like the handheld game of the year one just fails off the back. Wii game of the year fails off the back. Downloadable game of the year fails. I mean accept for PS3, Flop, and Game of the Year these nominations and some choices are jsut awful. Well at least for the most part they got GOTY correct or at least something that should get it.



Solid_Raiden on 19 December 2008

IDK about fair, too many PS3 games won for 360 fans to think it's fair I think.

I agree with all of their winners except GTA IV winning best action game over Dead Space.



Rainbird on 19 December 2008

Why did Wii Fit win Wii GOTY? You'd think they'd take something that was more of an actual game, it's not like Nintendo didn't release other stuff then Wii Fit.

But none of the PS3 games that won were out of place for their nominations, think about it: Resistance 2 arguably had the best multiplayer setup in 08, what platformer actually performed better than LBP, IYO? Best Graphics could have been a toss up between MGS4 and Gears 2. As long as one of those two won, I think it's still accurate. Heck, Biggest Flop of the Year was a PS3 game. The Xbox community can't be too mad about that, right? o.O

 

 Like I said, I agree with the list completely. But you know these fanboys, they'll complain about MGS4 not having better graphics then Gears, and Braid should have beat Quest for Booty, and my neighbor can beat your neighbor in a staring contest and all that good stuff.

It´s okay for a single person to openly show your dislike for a specific system, there´s nothing wrong with that. We´re only humans.

But completely ignoring a system in the nominations is a different thing, especially for a review site. I´m not talking about the Wii, I´m talking about the DS.

This site treats the Wii as it could be nominated in its own category only (preventing its games from even being nominated outside the plaform category, a category which furthermore only seems to allow 1st party nominations), and it treats the DS as non-existant.

The lack of World of Goo in the nominations is interesting, too...
