    Crisis Core is easily the best psp game.

    Crisis Core really doesn't have any rival for the "best psp game of 2008" award...........It's a game of epic proportion....(It even made me cry..what a story)

    metal gear deserved it.

    I am glad Crisis Core took the PSP award. In my opinion, Chains of Olympus took the easy way out and copied the source material, where as CC added to it.

    NO WAY- Super Smash Bros. Brawl definitely should've won for the Wii!!! =*[

    i agree brawl should of won and gta 4 is awesome

  • Time2ownfuzzy

    Posted Aug 3, 2009 1:41 pm PT

    I agree with Crisis Core. That's about it. Brawl AND Mario Kart lost to No More Heroes, and Pokemon DPPt wasn't even nominated.

    they shouldnt put games like braid or megaman 9 or n+.. İF THEY WILL, they really should make another category and put them in it in such a competition where games like gta4,mgs4,fallout3 are being compared.

    PATAPON LOST!?!?! How could it? Crisis Core was fun and all, BUT IT'S PATAPON! Not only is is clearly the best game on PSP, it's probably the most unique and addicting as well! I couldn't put it down for a week straight, and after that only to eat and sleep for a month more! HOW COULD PATAPON LOSE!!! This is COMPLETE BS.
    Give me a thumbs up if you agree, thumbs down if you don't.

    They should have this....they have should that...people, you do know it's perfectly fine for GS to have different opinions than you, right? I found most of the awards acceptable.

  • geedotherodian

    they should only rate exclusives for the platform awards

  • noah10

    Posted Mar 12, 2009 2:41 pm PT

    No more heroes was a good game,but I think SSBB should have won.

    Hahaha he said: plenty of excellent games for the wii this year! HAHAH ROFL

    but i think that mgs4 is overhyped, its a good game though but i think fallout 3 is better

  • gilbertkeith04

    Posted Feb 1, 2009 11:21 am PT

    GTA 4 was so good on the 360.... once i sold the xbox, i had to go get it for the ps3, and play it all over again! But MGS4 completely blew away any other games chances of even thinking about coming out on top. It WAS the greatest game ive ever played in my life, hands down!

  • noclue_27

    Posted Jan 29, 2009 10:47 am PT

    Wow, Brawl should have won for Wii
    ANY game except GTA should have won for xbox

    TWEWY and MGS4 pwn though.

    2008 has been an awesome year for gamers, so many good games to choose from! Glad to see Fallout 3 is the winner for the PC, it really deserves the title

    meandmewii is right, Brawl and Kart should've been chosen. The others were good choices. Grand Theft Auto rules!
