I'm not sure Nintendo is too worried about winning awards on GameSpot. :P

They should be:)

I predicted all of them except for driving (which I don't think Paradise deserved) and action-adventure. Looks like MGS4 GOTY is basically inevitable since they came right out and said it's better than GTA.Cherokee_Jack

Wow Braid won over LBP for best Platformer.

I see 2 Microsoft exclusives in that list (Left 4 Dead, Braid), 1 Nintendo exclusive (SSBB), and only 1 Sony exclusive (MGS4) (exclusive as of 2008 that is).

Winner= Microsoft (as usual)

But if we compare gaming consoles, not companies... PS3 wins.

MGS4 winning Best Action-Adventure over GTA4 isn't controversial?

Nope.

It's not an uncommon opinion to have, especially considering how much hate GTA IV gets on these forums.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="Thinker_reborn"]Braid isnt exclusive..Thinker_reborn

It doesnt matter,it's announed for the PC and thus it is NOT exclusive.:|

Lemmings these days pathetic.Just becasue 360 doesnt have a single worthy exclusive in 2008 doesnt mean that you have a cry a river.It happens take it easy.:(

Using that logic, would Sins of a solar empire be A "Microsoft Exclusive?".

GS doesn't care about what other companies scored games, they only care about about what GS scored the games... L4D isn't exclusive anywho.

Braid is a better platformer. Its platforming mechanics are much more polished than those in LBP.BioShockOwnz

Braid looks like Mario where you can reverse time and has classical music going on in the background.
