Bashing the opinions of others is FUN!

MGS4 is the best game in the history of mankind and should have won every award, whether they enjoyed it or not!

sigh...

Poor lists in my opinion. Too much GTAIV, not enough LBP and no sign of MGS4.

Glad Fallout 3 made it though.

Are any 2008 Wii games really GOTY material? SMG and TP definately were. I can't think of anything this year.

@Okey
Well SSBB deserves a nod, though not a win in my opinion. And many have lauded World of Goo, so that's another possibility.
