    imo, GTA IV > MGS.. nothing against MGS but the reason i said GTA IV is it was available on all 3 platforms. MGS was just out there for PS3. yes it was a great game. but how can it be game of the year, when other gamers didn't had the chance to play it because they don't have PS3... so it should be GTA imo. if they wouldnt agree for GTA due to problems it had, then i guess L4D maybe. The point is, you cant pick a game as game of the year when most gamers did not had the chance to play it.

    Wow you people who say it shouldve came to the 360 why dont you fanboys WAKE THE FU** UP?!?!?! Its been an exclusive since number one and its not gonna stop there. In case you 360 fanboys forgot ps3 not only came out after 360 they got better exclusives and actually work on the graphics and try to make it look the best ever unlike microsoft. MGS4 is a pure ps3 game and always will be

    Its still funny how many people think that MGS4 is coming to another system. It isn't. Seriously you've gotta be kidding if you think that it will

    I LOVED MGS4 but felt kind of awkward at first with Octo Camo and not changing to start menu and manually doing it myself. Anyone else feel that way?

    Posted May 11, 2009 10:27 am PT

    MGS4 deserves to win. If GTA4 had been perfect then that would have won

    too bad mgs4 is ps3 exclusive. sounds like a very good game with a story in it. games should be like this like mass effect and gta 4.

    This is about the only reason I would own a PS3. 1 reason isnt worth the $400+ price tag tho. Ill wait for it to come to 360 or PC in a couple years.

    u know what. this game is the best game i have ever played. not my favorite, but the best. can anyone out there say anything thats bad about mgs4. didn't think so. if you did, look it up and you'll find your wrong. gow2, i've played it, it's not bad. but who out there can say i didn't like this, this, this, and this. exactly my point. when you play mgs4, you don't think about the good things about it. you just feel that it's... right, or normal. that's why you punks out there that don't know what the f your saying need to f off. i mean, i'm not trying to be a jack @$$. i'm just saying you are. i have lots of friends at my school that say that cod4 is better, and that fc2 is better, and ac is better and bfbc is better and i just want to shoot them down and throw them down a well. i say "why do you think it's better?" they say "it just is."... that's detailed for ya! (that's their way of saying it's not but they want it to be. and for god knows what reason. all you mother f-ers out there that say this is a bad game. why? why do you think it's a bad game. now let me tell you why you favored game IS a bad game ( or at least worse). anyways, not trying to be a fanboy but this game is the best game ever made. not my favorite, but the best.

    wow, positive comments on gamespot! I don't own a PS3 but god I wish I did, just to play MGS4. I like movie-games, there's no reason why a great game can't have a great story behind it.

  • snooker8th

    Posted Mar 29, 2009 2:04 pm PT

    Metal gear definitely deserved it...
    I also think NHL 09, Wipeout HD, CoD5 are very good.

    Fair choice, nothing to arge there.

    "MGS4,it's unbelievable...Only GOW3 could be better...definetely..."

    Comparing games from different genres... dunno.

    metal gear should have came on the 360. it lost all its potential on a ps3. no one has them cause they don't have as much games

  • Youngjs789

    Posted Mar 18, 2009 7:08 pm PT

    gears of war wasn't that fun

  • Mc_Trickz

    Posted Mar 16, 2009 4:35 pm PT

    GTA 4 and MG4...WOW!!!The best man...But nothing can be better than MGS4,it's unbelievable...Only GOW3 could be better...definetely...

  • yeheedee

    Posted Mar 15, 2009 2:14 am PT

    I deenitly agree and i play ALOT of videogames MGS4 was very unique not like any shooter/stealth game i have ever played yes it is frustrating sometimes but thats because its a challenge its not your casual aim and shoot game like CoD or GOW (wich are both great games) and if you havent even played it i suggest you do go to your friends and steal his ps3 lol and they are right about this game being a game-movie and thats how i lik my games, a deep story and i dont care how long it is for m the story is one of the most important things just shooting ppl in a pointless fps doesnt cut it or me

  • komattias

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 9:51 am PT

    good choice but don't you think GOW 2 deserves to be in the list too?

  • BiABeasts

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 1:49 am PT

    I also think i would get mad playing this game, i can't see myself playing this game because i like shooters, but i don't like sort of futuristic fiction guns and characters. I like more war game shooters that are either modern or historic, preferably WWII games. I would not buy this game. But that does not matter cause i don't have a ps3 i have a 360.

    If you want a combination of great story telling and game play, then try out Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, that's the real game of 2008!!!

    "Metal Gear Solid 4 is a series of great moments." Said best right there. Gamespot, you guys definitely made the right choice. I dare you to find another game, ask a bunch of people who have played it, and see how many different answer you get. With MGS 4, you could get about 100. Two great moments mentioned in the video, but for me, my favorite was Shadow Moses, and more specifically, the Metal Gear battle vs. Liquid. I spent 3 MGS games destroying metal gear (or the Shagohod...) and it was awesome to finally be in one before the series ended. Shadow Moses also brought to the realization for snake and I that the series was actually over. All these moments prove MGS 4 was the greatest game of the year, and maybe (definitely in my opinion) the greatest game of all time.

    I agree. The ultimate gaming experience for 08. The story alone would keep me playing this game even if the game play wasn't as good as it is.

    It's Sad that Oblivion didn't make it, Or It couldn't count because it wasn't made this year. But GTA and MGS are both pretty good.
