    Im sorry, but Crysis Warhead has much better graphics than MGS4. The animations on MGS4 are good, but thats animations, not graphics!

    i guess ill have to play braid now with the absolutely DISGUSTING amount of hype ive seen gamespot bandy about on these different award/game of the year/etc videos. ive already played mgs 4, i have absolutely no intention of playing another boring GTA game. At least hideo kojima boots will be licked clean by faithful gamespot employees. Theres no replay achievement award? oh wait metal gear solid 4 isnt really that replayable so it cant win the award, hence the award doesnt exist. Nice to see a wii game here at all at least. I like how the Australians asume blowing someones head up like a watermelon or shoving a crazed murderer through a TV set is suitable for a 15 year old to view and take part of. Kinda lulz.

    i was kinda dissapointed that some games i like didnt get a prize and i cant play mgs 4(damn)

  • randoblade

    Posted Feb 5, 2009 8:06 pm PT

    Most of these I can agree with (besides TWEWY not winning anything), but... when MGS4 wins the "Best Graphics (Technical)" award over Crysis Warhead, there must be something wrong with GS's minds. I mean, just look at the kind of PC you need to actually run Crysis. Sorry, Gamespot, but all little respect I had for your opinion is now gone.

  • tombom2player

    Good info, but crysis has much better grafix then mgs4, but other then that its a good list

    May I also mention that I cant believe Bruci Kibbutz is on this list, oh and look, just as I type this he wins. That game tried so hard to be funny with the same old material. Overly-obnoxious friend and then the wannabe thug friend(that annoying guy who said "the streets" over and over.)
    Even the diehard GTA fans I know say that game was such a failure in so many ways, I am amazed that Gamespot is still hyping that piece. 10/10 my ass.

  • Alex_09

    Posted Jan 12, 2009 12:30 am PT

    Braid does not belong on this list at all.

    no GOW 2?

  • vernholio

    Posted Jan 5, 2009 2:30 pm PT

    OK... not bashing here at all, but why is Gamespot so in love with "Braid"? I don't have an X360, so I haven't been able to check it out. Can someone who has actually played it through fill me in? Because it just looks like a simple scrolling platformer to me (PS one-ish, circa 1996 or so). The videos here don't exactly pump it up too much.

  • vernholio

    Posted Jan 5, 2009 2:21 pm PT

    As per usual, if a game isn't a shooter, it loses when put up against one in a Gamespot "Best Of" category (i.e., if there's a big-name/high-dollar producer-backed shooter in a category, it nearly always wins). In overall concept, how is Call of Duty 4 any different than any of the previous three releases (plus ALL of the expansions)? You still just run around, hide and shoot. Sorry... a little disappointed that a shooter beat out "Sins of a Solar Empire" and "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" in Competitive Multiplayer; and Resistance 2, winning "Most Improved Sequel"... Really?! I mean crap, how many more of these "rinse and repeat" shoot 'em ups do we need?

  • EvrenDawn

    NG2 should have gotten the Most Violent to Slip Past Aussi Censors. I mean, it is the only game in which I have spoken out loud "Holy frak there is a lot of blood in this game". Plus the ability to dismember everything and everything in showers of red (and sometimes green). Dead space seemed an equally likely winner for this title. Maybe they just went for irony in Fallout 3.

    Lost count for the number of Awards MGS4 was nominated for...

  • Toastngravy

    Posted Jan 3, 2009 11:48 pm PT

    I stopped watching after "most improved sequel". Not only did fallout3 not win, it wasn't even a nominee. How that is possible I don't even know. While I'm sure they have their reasons (most likely not good ones) I just don't see any reasoning behind this. Ah well.
    --Just for heck of it i continued watching, only to be turned away shortly after with "most innovative game". A hockey game became a nominee. A hockey game. Personally, I no longer respect game spots opinion.
