Screw, Fallout 3 and GTA IV. Gears 2, Left 4 Dead, and Rock Band 2 are far better and more fun.

gamesradar = best end of year awards ever.

the "easiest game to slip a dick into" section had me cracking up.

I kept my ps2 around to play Yakuza 2, the series is like top 3 for me

As always, this is probably you best article of the year. Great job!

I'm saddened not to see any separate section for RTS games, as Sins of a Solar Empire should get a LOT of praise for what it is in its entirety. I'm also surprised you haven't made a category about DRM :P

Excellent choice for GOTY guys. Keep up the good work.

Shoot if you have a Wii get Okami Too! I've played it for both and can't really pick the better one. But if you have either console, after getting Christmas money you need to go buy Okami for either system pronto! I prefer the Wii version a little...

oh, my. great list, but there is something in here that is just so wrong, oh so wrong.
the only genre of game better played with mouse and keyboard are RTS-s. fps games are way better when using a 360 controller (if played on a console that is, if you hook it up to the computer; it gets kind of weird..)

i can never imagine playing CoD4 with a mouse and keyboard (though i have, and it sucked), consoles have come a long way when it comes to shooters, and sitting bent over a mouse and keyboard is just uncomfortable, weird and makes the games worse. there, i said it.

"Yall used me like a pipe-bomb" "Yall used me like a pipe-bomb" !! CLASSIC!! Fall Out 3 GOTY is soo correct!

Nice article. It puts IGN and gamespot's "Games of the Year" articles to shame. But what else can I expect, this site rocks, the others are trash.

I agree with your picks, Fallout 3 or GTA 4 for GOTY easily.

I liked the soundtrack in World of Goo.

FALLOUT 3 AS GOTY?! YOU BASTARDS! THAT GAME DESERVES ONLY TO BE SPAT/SHAT ON! WHY! HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED MGS4, GEARS OF WAR 2 OR RESISTANCE 2?! KISS MY ASS GR, I NO LONGER RESPECT, OR EVEN LIKE YOU. APART FROM THE NEWS, I'M NO LONGER GOING TO BE ON THIS SITE UNTIL YOU CHANGE THAT GOTY. FUCK. YOU.

Nice job on the article GR!! It was a great read and I was gaining more and more anticipation as I clicke for each next page.
Kang 81  - 11 months 7 days ago 
Oops, I meant to say clicked.

By the way, to all of those that did not buy any of EA's new IP's this year, don't even complain if they go back to crappy games next year! IMO your right to complain is hereby forfeit!!

Thanks a lot!

P.S.
Mirror's Edge and Dead Space are awesome games!

Yeah but even though I love Gears 1 & 2, it's just more of the same with some added functionality. Save for the whorde mode anyway, and don't even get me started on the train wreck that is multiplayer. They needed to fix a lot of things before ever putting out a new map pack!!

i really do have to get around to buying okami and no more heroes. i've been meaning to buy them for ages now.

Nice choice for game of the year. Fallout 3 is fantastic. Btw, that Left 4 Dead video is hilarious. Have you guys done a feature on the biggest pussies caught on video playing games? If not that would be great!
