    The Crecente trophy is holding a 360 controller!

    You know what this means, right? THE CONSOLE WARS ARE OVER! 360 wins!


    I notice a lot of people are asking why there's no Wii love. If you ask me, Wii had quite a lackluster year among mainstream gamers, perhaps with the exception of Wii Fit. 2009 will hopefully be more interesting with games like The Conduit, Wii Sports 2, and, dare I say it? - Sonic and the Black Knight (the first one was half decent).


    But putting "You Have To Burn The Rope" on the list? That took balls, Brian.

    Good choices for awards all around.


    It's not popular with gamers to go with GTA IV, but nevertheless it's still one of 2008's best. Whether it's #1 is a matter of taste, opinion. The game has a lot of flaws, the relationship babysitting was overdone, and it seems like with most people the game either needed more San Andreas in a game not called San Andreas, or the storyline wasn't good enough. Hopefully Rockstar can find some way to satisfy more people next time without abandoning the great things they did in IV.

    Good list. One of the few that didn't make me want to bang my head on my desk full force. I don't necessarily agree with them all but, I wouldn't argue against them either.

    I said it last year, and I'll say it this year, for it bears repeating: "Golden Crecentes" could be the greatest euphemism EVER.


    I yearn for the day when one can grab life by the Golden Crecentes, or a comedy movie gets panned for relying on kicks to the Golden Crecentes for laughs.

    How does GTA IV beat MGS 4 for GOTY but not for Action Game? Other than that and GTA IV getting GOTY, this was a good list.

    @zgreenwell: You've Got to Burn the Rope is a complete gimmick. Crayon Physics Deluxe is a gimmick backed by a pretty solid puzzle game. I cannot fathom Burn the Rope making it to any list beyond perhaps "Best Credits Song."

    GTA4 was over-rated. I thought people realized that by now.

    @Onion-Knight: I bought GTAIV due to all the Game of the Year hype, but I'm finding it horribly repetitive, and the horrid framerate makes me sick. I am impressed by the scope of the city same as I was with Assassin's Creed, but that and the hilarious right wing radio show do not make it fun to play for me. Probably the fastest I've went from purchasing a game to selling it, and I typically keep every game I buy.

    Good list of games, but no Wii stuff? I know it was a lean year for "hardcore" games, but even World of Goo gets no mention?

    @ALT: Ooh, if we're going this comparison route, World of Goo lacked anything innovative.

    World of Goo was the same game as tower of goo, no matter how many different locals you built the same Goo pile in.


    Meanwhile, Braid was a decently-designed platformer with a pretentious story designed to convince the ignorant masses that "trite and convoluted" was somehow deep and meaningful.


    There. Did I get both sides decently enough?


    Excellent list, though, Crecente.

    As much as I appreciate a good fix here or there, I kinda think GTA deserves it. But thats completely not my point. The award looks like the bastard child of an oscar and a pirate.
