    I gotta say gamestops choices this for 2008 were really bad. The other games they enlisted were better than the ones they chose. They chose Braid over Mirrors Edge or Little Big Planet!

    I'd have said SC IV was the best fighter. It's much deeper than SSB.

    What does Gamespot has with Braid... I mean, its a good, funny game, but no way its over Little Big Planet...

  • NoctisLucis

    Posted May 7, 2009 1:16 am PT

    dont get on Braid to but comon, how many games you know like MGS4? .......of course it deserve all the prices becouse it was a game develope over and over again in the same base achiving somthing close to perfection, hope that teams like the ones from dead space, and assasins creed , and some other good ones, get some similar philosophy so the overall game standard open the door to improve instead of get stuked in repetitive unoriginal works who just try to be a good money making chance.

    good games always have that extra lucid hand who knows what to do in my opinion. like all good work needs a master craftman who guides eaither this is film music or make a dam violin !!

    braid developers must have payed GS a lot of money to put them on top of mirrors edge and prince of persia

  • penguins227

    Posted Mar 22, 2009 2:07 pm PT

    Audiosurf was the best!!! Rock band 2 just had more songs... audiosurf's concept could not have been improved more. You could choose any song!! It was made by a random student, not a big company!! That is awesome in itself!

  • pigpen4483

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 7:37 pm PT

    omg sooooooooo many good games for the best shooter cat. I would have gone with either crysis or gears 2, but left 4 dead was super awesome also

    Posted Feb 22, 2009 8:45 pm PT

    I'll be honest, I have no idea how Braid beat out Mirror's Edge which i thought was friggin' brilliant. Shocking

  • sk8erwarlock

    How did braid win platformer of the year?

  • faizsadasd

    Posted Feb 17, 2009 12:22 pm PT

    lol,i have all the ones that one i bought all at the same time

  • ACE-414

    Posted Feb 15, 2009 5:34 am PT

    i'm surprised Resistance 2 didn't win, it's a really good game (i'm not saying Left 4 Dead is rubbish, because that's a good game as well). As for best racer i'm sure MotorStorm: Pacific Rift or Race Driver: GRID would've won if Burnout wasn't there. And how the hell did 'Braid' beat 'Little Big Planet' that's got to be a fix

  • ACE-414

    Posted Feb 15, 2009 5:21 am PT

    i think Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of the best games there

  • welshy023

    good choices

  • MandoWolf

    These rankings and game of the year award are rigged.

  • geedotherodian

    Posted Jan 29, 2009 5:22 pm PT

    personally i would classify brawl as a party game before a fighting game. Dont get me wrong i love game and watch but i dont think of it as a serious fighting game.

  • inodou

    Posted Jan 22, 2009 4:05 pm PT

    I think professor layton and the curious village deserves the first place for the puzzle genre and i dont think the solar empire one looked as good as sid meiers civilization revolution in the rts genre

  • Hellfireknight

    Posted Jan 21, 2009 6:18 pm PT

    I don't totally agree with all of this, but I also didn't play all of these games. Personally my game of the year would have to be Fallout 3.

  • diddy101

    Posted Jan 20, 2009 3:27 pm PT

    Alll exellent choices very well thought out. I love Dead Space, SSBB, Burnout Paradise and MGS4 (my personal favourites.) The only suggestion should be for Little big planet to take the second place mark and for No more heroes to step down a couple of podiums.

  • DemonicFever

    Posted Jan 20, 2009 11:14 am PT

    Super Smash Bros Brawl totaly earned it's place.

  • sonicr2u

    Posted Jan 18, 2009 7:40 am PT

    The best platformer of my choice would be LittleBigPlanet. But besides that good choices!

    Posted Jan 17, 2009 2:03 pm PT

    it sounds bruce campbell. also to all those ppl who are confused about braid winning, it really is a special game, but LBP is still great also, but is missing something.
