    @Vault is credit to team!: I disagree. My first Bethesda game was Fallout 3, and after getting dangerously addicted to that, I decided to check out Oblivion.. Maybe it just has to grow on me, but I'm just not having the same amount of fun as I was in Fallout. I guess once you go VATS you can't go back?

    @Brad Phillips: the problem is, is that most reviewers and gamers alike said if you loved oblivion, you wouldnt like Fallout 3, because they said it's basicly the same game. or at least it feels like it. with the slow and crunchy, robotic looking npc's of both games, if youve played one, youve played both. ;3

    Ugh? that crappy Kingdom Hearts remake was the most requested? Figured most KH addicts didn't have the credit card for GameFly, since they blew it on Keyblade replicas.

    Interesting to see SONY's platform exclusives topping the list. I would have thought that Gears would have had been more rentable/rented than Fallout 3.

    I find Soul Calibur IV's inclusion in this list more surprising and baffling than No more heroes'. I can at least understand why No more heroes made that list. But Soul Calibur IV is just ridiculous. I'm no fan of GTA and think the series is mad overrated. But it definitely was more worthy of being included in that list over Soul Calibur IV: which I thought was a bloody terrible game.

    sooo many GTA haters out there. I think these top ten lists try to be edgy by leaving the game off their lists while trying to make a statement. As much as I love No More Heroes, the open city design in that game was terrible while it did marvelous things in the visual department. I think GTA4 should be lauded for the achievement of creating a great Liberty City at the very least. The cutscenes, plot, all of it. Sure the social interaction was a bit much, but leaving it off? I want to hear reasons. and not just "it was boring" or "it sucked." I kind of want farcry 2 on these lists too!

    No More Heroes sucked IMO and shouldn't be on the list.


    Soul Caliber 4 sure as hell shouldn't be on that list.


    Prince of Persia should not be on that list.


    God of War: Chains of Olympus should be on that list, at least as a runner up

    I'm honestly not all that surprised to see ''No more heroes in that list. I'm shocked at 'Soul Calibur IV' though. I thought that game was awful! The only good aspect of it were the graphics. Everything else about that game was bog standard, boring and re-hashed.

    No More Heroes is a genuinely fun game and deserves to be on this list.


    The thing that should shock you is Soul Calibur IV... Terrible game!

    It should be noted that, on purpose or not, there are no games for portables on this list.

    @Omnimon: IMO, there weren't really any portable games worth nominating. FFIV DS and The World Ends With You were both decent games (forgive me for the fact that I can't think of any other games for DS or any for PSP worth mentioning), but they couldn't compete with console or PC games this year. Actually.. I would almost say any year. Devs don't treat handhelds with the love that they deserve.

    @Tayruh: TWEWY, FF IV, Chrono Trigger, Professor Layton, and Patapon are four games that I would definitely involve in a conversation regarding 'GotY'. I think Patapon gets the short-end because of its release date.

    When you say that No More Heroes wouldn't be on anyone's list, are you saying that because you think the game is bad, or does anyone = magazines, etc, that put out semi-official lists?


    Because No More Heroes was tits.
