I really think you should consider Fallout 3 and StarCraft 2 for GOTY. I'd add Spore but it may get delayed again.

Also, I don't think Gears 2 will be among best games of 2008.
Fallout 3, GTA4, MGS4, StarCraft 2 are my picks. Plus, don't forget about Ninja Gaiden 2.

MMO GOTY= The Agency or APB

I know neither have set dates, but they are set for this year

both look awesome, action-packed and really immersive

especially The Agency with the way you can carry out certain things WITH YOUR OWN PHONE!!!!!

both are revolutionary, a crappy expansion to a crappy, boring game (WoW) should NOT win MMO GOTY

something fresh and intriguing should get that

APB has been moved to next yr and i seriously doubt the agency will take the MMO crown based off its shooter nature alone. Plus i am also guessing it will be pushed unless the rumors of it being free to play are true.

@MK_Red No game of the yr candidates for overall game of the yr for unreleased games so as not to engage in pointless arguments and debates.

I was going to put star craft 2 under strategy game but not sure if it will release this yr.

Gears might be more of the same but i am pretty sure it will still earn at the very least a nomination. At this point, i dont think Ninja Gaiden 2 will earn a nomination for any category don't get me wrong it will be a great game but it won't get the attention.

I'm adding a new category fighter of the yr

Agreed with just about everything you said there, but... I don't think Ninja Gaiden 2 will be among the best games of 2008 either.

I do, Ninja Gaiden 2 will be frigging amazing

Fallout 3, it's hard for me to decide between that and Metal Gear Solid... but Hideo Kojima has never, ever disappointed me in any of his games... I'm just about completely sure that, for me personally, Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to be Game of The Year.

Yea they haven't done a console innovation category in a while. Since 2004 actually and eye toy won that yr so my guess is wii fit will get it this yr

No GTA game has ever won game of the yr but at the same time no MGS game has ever won any category at least not according to the AIAS but they will surely take something home this yr.

Ninja Gaiden isn't getting anything from these guys. Maybe from ign or xplay they might get a nomination but they won't win anything

I really don't think Wii Fit should win an innovation award, there are far more creative and innovative games this year.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Seriously though, I'm not sure many of those awards are going to be taken by Wii games, besides the Wii-specific awards. That's sad, it's sort of a fall from grace for Nintendo.

that's because it's all by hype and Nintendo doesn't really get into that too much

Smash bros might win an award, it will at least get a nomination but just not sure where to put it.

Wii fit isn't really a game its more of a peripheral. The console innovation award goes to impressive console technology. They don't do nominations for it they just announce the winner since there usually aren't many challengers for that category

NG2 definitly won't be among GOTYs but my point was that it may win something. Action/ adventure or something.

Of course, Wii Fit is gonna win GOTY 2008. Plus awards for best graphics and best innovation along with best story

But seriously even though it DOESN'T deserve it, Wii Fit may end up with innovation award.

I'm with you though I would add GTA4 to competition as well. It will be really hard to choose from these 3.
GTA4 is the highest rated game of all time. MGS4 is a Kojima game and as LJWooly said, he never disappoints. Normally, Fallout 3 would be my definitive choice but it's not from devs of original. Also, Bethesda HAS disappointed me before (Oblivion...).

StarCraft 2 and LBP are other choices. LBP well... is LBP. The Game 2.0.
As for StarCraft2... it's freaking BLIZZARD game.

LBP should definitely take something away. I'd go for something to do with creativity, myself.

It'll be between MGS4, GTA4 and Starcraft 2.

Sadly, I don't think they'll choose Stacraft 2 because too many people left PC gaming. But there's still a hope.
So they'll be hesitating between MGS4 and GTA4 and realize how much MGS4 is TOO F******* EPIC and how much it's a work of art compared to the simplistic and casual GTA4. So they'll choose MGS4.

Really, as long as it's MGS4 or Starcraft 2 (my two fav. franchises ever by far), I'll be pleased. Just not GTA. It's fun but it's not worthy.

Fallout 3 and Gears 2 are possibilities, but we have to see more. And for Gears 2, I doubt it'll take the cake. Gears already won 2006 in many places, and Gears 2 looks too similar to be nominated again. (I'm not hating, just pointing out that it's not different enough to get the GOTY a second time)

I told you Haze was overrated :>

Now let's talk disappointments of the year apart from MK vs. DC, which we all know belongs on the first place.

I'd vote for Haze and Too Human unless they both fix the retarded look the games have.
