GotY 2008
 

The rush is over, homies. Prince of Persia was the last big game to come out. What was everyone's favorite game(s) this year? Brawl? GTA IV? LittleBigPlanet? Gears? Let it out! I can't decide on mine, yet.

I'd probably have to give it to Brawl.

Gears of War 2 for multiplayer and production values, Brawl for long time value and sound design, LittleBigPlanet for innovation and style.

In the end..........LittleBigPlanet.

This is some good discussion, fellas! Keep it up!

I'll get back to you on this one. I must ponder my answer.

I didn't buy a lot of new games this year, and most of them were compilations of old games, so I'd have to say that fitting the criteria, and judging by fun value and time spent playing... I'd have to say Super Smash Bros. Brawl is my favourite.

That, and it was the only game I've ever cared enough about to get at midnight launch, and not only that, I went with a co-worker I despise just so I'd be able to be there.

Allow me to elaborate. LittleBigPlanet is my game of the year. Brawl is my favorite game ever.

I didn't play enough this year to pick one. Ergo, this post was only made to 1-up my post count! LOL

Its gotta be Metal Gear Solid 4 for me.

Sue me, I loved that damn thing.

Can we banish whoever says GTA4?

As for me, I really don't know. MGS4 maybe? F*ck it, I'm going to cheat and say Galaxy, because it deserves it.

Rock Band. Yes, it came out this year in the UK.

Incidentally, Brawl was Wizard's game of the year.

Me, I only play Wii games, and I have no interest in playing Brawl. So, Okami gets my vote.

Yeah, it's a port of an old game. Suck it.

Fixed that for you!

Lawl.

Maybe MGS4. Maybe. But I'd probably still say Brawl.

What was wrong with GTA 4?

It's not exactly GOTY material.

Definitely a great game, I'm very glad I bought it. But reviewers gave it WAY more credit than it deserves. By no means should it hav acheived a perfect 10 from anywhere, but it earned several.

My personal favorite game this year was Saint's Row 2. I liked GTA 4 alot till I played that.

Brawl for me. That game is my sanctuary.

Brawl has my vote. It's the only relatively new game I've played all year, but it's just so damn fun.

I'm also giving points to LittleBigPlanet. I haven't played it at all, but my GOD it looks awesome. Once I get a PS3, I'm getting it. No question about that.

How can you "give points" if you haven't played the game?
