Obviously, the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots brings two 10 rated games to the table, and we are half way through the year with many great titles to come (Resistance 2, Gears of War 2, LittleBigPlanet,Fable 2,Possibly INfamous) So what is your thought on the Game of the year, s it hands down MGS4 now?

MGS4, and not just cause I love it XD. The written review seems to praise the game more than GTA IV's; not to mention GTA IV does have its share of quirks.

This is coming from a die-hard GTA fan - I think MGS4 will get GOTY. It's the best game I've ever played, which is something I wasnt expecting. I knew it would be good, but I didnt know it would be this good.

Spore, there's no doubt about that.

I've played with the Creature Editor all day long. After reading the fantastic features of the game on Wikipedia, I'm sure that it's the most original and ambitious game ever.

GTA4 won't really have a chance in the end, I feel. MGS4 will go all the way probably.

OOooooh, Spore could be a real competitor too, depends on if it *really* makes it out. I know its pretty much confirmed, but its been pushed back a lot.

Well I haven't played half of the games listed, so it's just proper to not vote. Because who knows, thoughts might change again and again.

It doesnt matter so long as it's an opinion.

Besides, apparently since this is System Wars opinions outside of this site doesnt matter, remember??? MGS4 is on equal playing ground with GTAIV. Personally, I think MGS4 walks all over GTA IV, which are words I never thought I would say.

:| I'm not sure how you can say that. Different games are rated in different ways, even if one scores better then the other (Which here on gamespot they were the same, which makes your arguement void anyways) Freeroaming vs. Action Stealth game :| Cant... really compare.

I bet GameSpot will be handing out a lot of 10's this year so they have plenty of games to choose from instead of just 2.

might as well not have this poll then since we're missing some half the year and the most ambitious game in a very long time.

BTW, Gears 2 and Resistance 2 aren't out either.

Logic? Please? Their scores were EQUAL, infact the only two complaints on MGS was that there was a lot of story, and that the one player ends :| Come on, give up.

Not to jynx it... but MGS4 has my vote locked in.

Play it, and see for yourself. This game puts GTAIV to shame, It literally IMO makes GTAIV seem like an "average" game. And before MGS4 came out, GTAIV was my favorite game this gen.

Seriously... MGS4. I don't care if you have to borrow your friends PS3, or a strangers, you HAVE to play this game. It is that imperetive. (maybe thats a bit extreme, but I feel strongly about this)

ParadiddleFill

I am a Sony fan, but I'm not blind. I've always been a MGS fan, but not a "big one". I had to brush up on the MGS storyline through the IGN article just like alot of people. Last gen MGS wasnt my favorite game. And I'll be the first to say I wasnt expecting MGS4 to be this good. It's taken me by surprise, because it's different from the others in the alot of ways.

I still prefer the GTA series over MGS, but as for MGS4, it's the best game I've ever played so far. Judge by my blogs all you want to, I'm not the only one who thinks MGS4 is better than GTAIV.

Not to mention, it's pretty arrogant for you to act like you can tell someone they have a "bad opinion" when I could say the same to you.

Yeah, but Metal Gear games are quirky by nature... that's why I'm still surprised by the 10 score.

:lol: Nice try you probably havn't even played MGS4. MGS4 is the better game, period. Not to take anything away from GTAIV, but MGS4 is on another level, says Kevin V, and said IGN who would have gave it an 11/10 if they could
