Which videogame will become 2008's greatest?

2008's almost over. Which videogame do you think will be game of the year?

For the record, you can talk about which game will be 2008's greatest even if it isn't in the poll.

Metal Gear Solid 4.

Probably MGS4 yeah.

According to publications probably GTA 4 or MGS.

For me, Gears 2 or Fallout 3.

Oh yeah, Fallout 3 is a good contender as well.

I have no problem will Fallout beating MGS4, but IMO GoW2 Fable 2 and Resistant are not in MGS's league.

I think that though Gears 2 is a great game it borrows too many element from gears 1 (Which won GotY last year or the year before I believe) to win this year. It's story isn't good enough to separate it either.

Fallout 3

[edit] Forgot GTA 4 came out too, probably that. This is based on the game being multiplatform, MGS4 might be a sweet as game, but in comparison there probably isnt as many people playing it as GTA 4 etc.

I think that can really be said about every game on this list - they're all just too similar to their predecessors (or other games) to really stand out.

Can it? MGS 4's root gameplay is similarity but the story telling and graphics are on a whole new level of epic'ness compared to the first three.

MGS4 isn't even in the poll. MGS4's gameplay is as good if not better than the story graphics and music.

I haven't played MG4, so, i would say Gears 2, easily.

Fallout 3 actually lived up to my expectations and has yet to get old. Saints Row 2 was fun but the appeal dried out very quickly. Every other game on this list was very very disappointing.

I have yet to play Resistance 2 or Tomb Raider, though.

I just said that you can talk about games that aren't in the poll. I for one think that Gears 2 will win.

GTA IV most probably, even if it lacked most elements of GTA: SA.

But for me, MGS4 for now.

I'm gonna go MGS4, or Fallout 3. Gears 2 probably should've been up there but its campaign was only good because they focused on the multiplayer which suffered from multiple bugs, I just don't see it winning, though I definitely think it'll be nominated since it is still a fun game. I've yet to play a lot of the games up there though. From what I have seen Fable 2 is definitely not winning and I don't see GTA4 winning much of anything since it falls short of its predecessors.

Well, obviously the graphics are going to better than its predecessors considering its the first game on the new system.

Of course.

So graphics shouldn't be taken into equation when comparing Gears 2 and MGS4 on what game is better when comparing it to earlier games.

Doesnt matter.

Fallout 3 right now is my favourite game of the year. But I havnt really played Left 4 Dead, or Gears 2 yet.

Fallout 3 or GTA4. Haven't had the privilege of playing MGS4, but I'm sure it kicks a$$ by the truckload.

I doubt GTA or MGS will get the honors actualy, everyone were pretty much hyped up when they were first released. I think many reviewers might wan't to change their score if they were to do a new review today.
