Which videogame will become 2008's greatest?

Same with Far Cry 2 IMO.

Well FC2 didn't really get that good reviews to begin with.

How About the wow expansion?

1. Fallout 3
2. MGS4 (great rush for the little amount of time it took to beat, and I havent gone back since).
3. GTA IV (great for the long amount of time it to beat, and I havent gone back since). 😛

What strikes me about MGS4 is how everything turned out great. The graphics are second to none. The soundtrack and sound effects are top notch. The First Person mode and finally using next-gen controls that felt intuitive. The octocamo alone is amazing. Then you have the story that though it is somewhat convulated it is conclusive and answers every single question from every game which isn't a small feat. Not to mention the nice multiplayer and the fact the game feels so polished.

Fallout 3
MGS4
Left 4 Dead
LBP

Fallout 3 imo should win...but popularity may choose some lesser game like GTA 4

I'm with Neo, Left 4 Dead might surprise everyone. That demo is insane fun

True. Half Life 2 engine never fails IMO. It would be hard to mess this one up.

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.

The story telling is exactly the same and exactly like the prior games. Massive cut scenes do all the work.

That used to bug me about MSG. I still loved the game, but it definitely got irritating after a while. I haven't played number 4, but I hear there's like a 90 minute cut scene in it somewhere? Or maybe it was 90 minutes worth of cut scenes all up.

The first one was the only one in the series that had any epic feeling to it.

Two was decent, but by then it had Wachowski-syndrome. The syndrome in which, by the second installment of anything, the creators are driven so mad by the praise of the first installment, that they retreat up their own asses and evolve into pretentious idiots.

I heard third was really good?

I dont deny the MGS is very good. It's just the first game bugged the shit out of me with its cutscenes.

Let's just say I like Valve way too much.

MGS4 will most likely will get it since there hasn't been a PS3 killer app since the console was released. Plus both IGN and Gamestop gave it the perfect score...which really makes you think...is it really THAT good?

I personally go with GTA IV and Fallout 3.

You know it's funny...months ago I could have sworn that Spore look like it was going rock the industry. Maybe the hype was too much.

I think its too complicated to really emulate the sales the Sims had and too simple for the hardcore audience.

I didn't want to get strictly on the fact there isnt alot of options at each stage.

Gears 2
Dead Space
GTA 4

IMO MGS4 is really that good. It has the all around package. Amazing campaign with great graphics, sounds, music, story, gameplay and as an added extra MGOnline.

If Fallout 3 doesn't win game of the year, I'm going to be very surprised.

I'd be surprised if Gears 2 doesn't win.
