I'd say Fallout 3 has GOTY, with Bethesda having SOTY, and Far cry 2 for best shooter.

h33b · 11-13-08

I want Fallout 3 to win Goty, but I think OP has it called with GoW2. I wish I didn't hate GoW as much as I do.

bucdan · 11-13-08

lol best female should be gemma atkinson, but jenny mccarthy works

TnB= Gir · 11-13-08

Yea, let's just omit Crysis: Warhead from best graphics.

Erm, what? That's why I don't pay attention to these stupid video game awards. They only entertain the console people and shaft PC gamers.

binormalkilla · 11-13-08

No STALKER: Clear Sky? Fail......
As mentioned, no Crysis: Warhead for best graphics either.....

At first I assumed it was because its the same game as Crysis. But then again so is Gears of War 2 and that would be hypocritical. I don't know what the hell they were doing.

I'd like to see LBP win best soundtrack. I love that main song. As long as FarCry 2 and CoD WaW don't win anything, I'm happy.

Microsis · 11-13-08

Fallout 3 will win GOTY. I will put money on it.

FallenFaux · 11-13-08

Fallout 3 deserves GOTY IMO, but seriously... no FFVII? List is fail.
