...Braid, Burnout Paradise, Fallout 3, Grand Theft Auto 4, Left 4 Dead, NHL 09, No More Heroes, Resistance 2, The World Ends With You and, of course, Metal Gear Solid 4.

No Gears of War 2. No LittleBigPlanet. No Super Smash Brothers Brawl. No Sins of a Solar Empire.

Gamespot, while I'm sure all of those games are great you're missing some real keepers!

that is by far the worst GOTY list ive seen. WTF is Braid doing there, its a **** downloadable game. It looks really random. Can anybody really disagree with the 5 GOTY nominees that Spike had? Fallout 3, GTA4, MGS4, LBP and Gears 2

Every site's GOTY awards lists have been so strange. I mean NHL 09? Really? But no to LBP?

I'm also upset, slightly, that Persona 4 was only a candidate in ONE possible award (best RPG) and its in last place :| Seriously now. It wasn't even nominated for best original music? What kind of crap is that?

Doesn't matter what the nominees are, MGS4 should win. If not, GTAIV

Imagine the ownage if a game like Burnout won :D

Not having Tales of Vesperia in the RPG section is a total joke. I voted for Fallout 3 as GOTY.

Metal Gear Solid 4 for GOTY=lemming owned HARD They'll probably say “what IF” Gears 2 was on the list then MGS4 wouldn't win. However “what if” doesn't work in SW. Resistance 2 made the cut but Gears 2 didn't :lol: The list is terrible, but i'm hoping a PS3 exclusive wins just for the ownage and lolz

Burnout, Braid, and NHL 09? :roll:hopesfall2own

Exactly my thoughts. All underserving of GOTY. Come on, Braid's awesome, but they know it's no competition, so why even put it in there. No Gears 2 or LBP is just wacky.

I think Braid deserves to be on there...but No more heores over brawl? WTF? I don't care how original it is. Originality can only get you so far. Fact of the matter is it's a heavily flawed game.

Its like an hour long... if it was sold at $60 it wouldve been bashed for being the biggest ripoff in gaming history. It should be praised for a great downloadable game, but really has no place in any proper GOTY lists.

I know what you mean, I'm mostly a PC gamer that dabbles into consoles and even I know that LBP and Gears 2 deserves to be on that list. Even Sins wasn't on which kind of bugged me. Sins, L4D and LBP are easily my Games of the Year. Atleast L4D is on there, so I voted for that.

Maybe that's it, maybe they didn't put the other big contenders on there because they wanted MGS4 to be the winner for reader's choice? We don't get a vote for the actual Gamespot GOTY, do we? Another conspiracy, brought to you by Gamespot!!!

How is it ownage to the lemmings if MGS4 wins an award with no serious other nominees? If Gears faced MGS4 in this, and MGS4 won, it would be ownage sure. But winning GOTY against that list is nothing but a gimme win.

No More Heroes? You have to be kidding me. This is a joke, right? The gameplay was disgusting. It was a series of corners that you ran through, with repetitive gameplay, and the only decent feature being the boss fights. Which honestly, weren't that great when compared to pretty much any other game. Sure is biased in here, huh Gamespot?

Ownage for all the people who said MGS4 or any PS3 exclusive wouldn't be GOTY. It doesn't matter if Gears 2 isn't on the list. GOTY is GOTY, and I doubt cows will be silent on SW if a PS3 exclusive wins GOTY. So yes, people will get owned whether you like it or not

In the technical graphics section, MGS4 is winning over Crysis Warhead. What's up with people? Do they not even know what Crysis looks like?

Also, Fallout 3 is winning in the PC games section... That's very odd.

MGS 4 is winning at whatever catagory it is nominated, and Crysis won both the readers choice and the gamespot's choice on that catagory last year, so no big deal.

Who else wants to bet that Gta4 will somehow slip through the crack and steal Goty? :?

Besides that, Braid and Burnout? NHL? Good games, but no damn goty. Much more deserving games.

Gamespot missed out on some big titles, Left 4 Dead does not deserve to be in there, neither does NHL 09. Gears of War 2 and LBP should be up there. Lame list. GTA IV will win though with MGS4 taking readers choice.

Doesn't matter, Crysis Warhead still has better technical graphics. It's an undisputed fact, it's actually kind of stupid to have a poll like that.
