And the winners for Genre Awards are...

[QUOTE="naydaslayer"]LOL who cares about awards when games are all about teh sales?AlexSays

Lemmings.

Seems pretty good, was alittle surprised at Left 4 Dead winning shooter, but from the demo that game is pretty fun, can't wait till I get if for Christmas.

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.:(

Doesn't have a single worthy exclusive in 2008? What are Gears 2, Tales of Vespira, Fable 2, Culdcept SAGA, Viva Pinata 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts then, they all scored above a 8, and I don't see them on the PS3 or any other system.

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

Surprised L4D got Best Shooter. I don't hate the game, I've been playing it this weekend, but there are much more deserving games IMO.microwavedapple

No. You must have played 360 version...

Story = Braid

Platform mechanics = Braid

Artstyle = Equal. Braid is freaking beautiful and I love the DIY style of LBP.

Everything else = LBP

MGS4 GOTY confirmed?II-FBIsniper-II

[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"]MGS4 GOTY confirmed?Cherokee_Jack

It definitely has the most momentum. At this point I think it would be silly if it didn't win it all. Also I didn't count, but did MGS4 had the most nominations this year?

Well it beat out GTA IV for best action adventure so it would be kind of silly to give GTA IV GOTY when you said MGS4 was a better game.II-FBIsniper-II

[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.:|

I can no longer take these game of the year lists seriously for one simple reason, and it's PURE logic.

Both Gears 2 and Resistance 2 got 9.0s from Gamespot themselves.

Left 4 Dead got an 8.5.

That right there, by Gamespot's own logic, means Left 4 Dead was not as good as Gears 2 or Resistance 2. Either that or the simple fact is Gamespot is saying their reviews no longer mean anything when an inferior game, by review, can win over two superior games.

BTW, I bet Braid wins game of the year. I have a bad feeling it's going to. I think Gamespot is going to do it for shock factor. They seem to be madlyin love with that game for some reason.

World of Goo is better than Layton. Not saying Layton is bad, but it's definitely not up there with World of Goo.nintendofreak_2

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)

so where are the brawl haters now? :lol:Shinobishyguy

Was World of Goo really that good? I played the PC version and it seemed pretty simplistic and frustrating.Cherokee_Jack

there is no such thing as "Microsoft exclusive". xbox360 fanboys invented the term so they can hide behing pc gaming when they got nothing worth to show.SamiRDuran

This is worth quoting again just to let the truth sink in.

The only game that has a chance to beat MGS4 now is, Fallout 3. Mario2007

Glad to see Left 4 Dead walking away with Best Shooter.rcignoni

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="siLVURcross"] Brawl sucks.ChrisSpartan117

And considering how a downlable title like Braid won so many awards...I wouldn't put it past GS to choose SF remake

[QUOTE="supercubedude64"][QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]I've heard about that, and it's obvious GS thinks SSBB>SF2HDR, because I thought they would never use a DLC game for the categories, until I saw Braid in their honors.ChrisSpartan117

I agree, Fallout 3 didn't go head to head with MSG4 in any of the previous awards, unlike GTA4.

And if Gamespot want to pull a surprise, but not too surprising that it might anger the fans, Fallout 3 seems like a safe choice.

But MSG4 still has the biggest chance.

The thing is, that when it comes to making reviews it just one person. For GOTY awards many of the GS employee work together to decide which game should win a award. For best shooters, a lot of them probably thought L4D was the best.
