Not SSBB or MKWii in multiplayer is FAIL!!



Around the Network

Have these guys heard of that new game console...

Crap I forgot, what was it called again?

Oh yeah, the Wii.



Switch Code: SW-7377-9189-3397 -- Nintendo Network ID: theRepublic -- Steam ID: theRepublic

Now Playing
Switch - Super Mario Maker 2 (2019)
3DS - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Trilogy) (2005/2014)
Mobile - Yugioh Duel Links (2017)

PC - Borderlands 2 (2012)
PC - Deep Rock Galactic (2020)

last editor at least got it right.



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...

GTA 4 doesn't deserve the top 50 IMO.



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.
