Jake Posted January 1, 2009 Finally got the Game of the Year stuff up... Dive into http://goty.cx! Thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions -- we published pretty much any suggested GOTY as long as it had a few words reasoning behind it. Got a game that we failed to mention? Talk about it here, maybe. Or don't. See if I care. PS: Video games! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted January 1, 2009 That's a very odd selection of games... Also: GTAIV < Fallout 3?! Hmmm. My game of the year is definitely Grand Theft Auto IV: It raised the bar for what can be expected from a game. It could have been less immature, but in terms of sheer quality, attention to detail and polish, it was absolutely perfect. Other games have got to try a lot harder now.

Jake Posted January 1, 2009 Very cool...I may be late, but who did that drawing with the thumbs? ...and the ring finger? This was crapped together surprisingly quickly, so that hand was actually taken from sxc.hu, a free/royalty free stock image site. The ring was slapped on in Photoshop by yours truly.

Jake Posted January 5, 2009 The lack of Sam and Max: Season Two disturbs me. None of the readers suggested it, so hey, it didn't end up in reader submissions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted January 6, 2009 Oh yeah. Whoops. I didn't suggest it because it's pretty much the only game from 2008 I've been playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gdf Posted January 10, 2009 I am kicking myself for not mentioning Bionic Commando Rearmed alongside Mirror's Edge. The Swedes really outdid themselves in 2008 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
