Hey everyone.

First I would like to apologize to everyone for being so lazy in my blog posting manners. I have seem to developed a serious problem to a certain game.

And the game just might begin with a 'f' and end with 'allout'. And it just might be the third game.

Anyway, the reason you are here is to hear something about Game of the Year. I have played/own every game nominated for GotY by gamespot this year (with the exception of NHL 09, which will be replaced with Gears 2, for the sake of easing controversy).

We all need to face it, no matter what GS nominated, everyone should have know that either GTA4 or MGS4 would win. No doubt. However, I can really cut it down to 5 games.

MGS4, LBP, NMH, F3, GoW2.

KEY:

MGS4- Metal Gear Solid 4

NMH- No More Heros

F3- Fallout 3

GoW2- Gears of War 2

LBP- Nuff' said.

Don't get me wrong. There were other great games as well, namely: GTA4, Fable 2, Resistance 2, CoD: World at War, and Dead Space. However, the five game above will be remembered beyond anything. GTA4 was outstanding while it lasted, but I couldn't help but feeling that the game really didn't put as much time as it should have into the side missions. Which were virtually non-existent (but the story defiantly deserves props).

If you are striking a big question mark on NMH, I DID NOT just do that because I felt bad for the Wii and it pretty weak game line up. That is a different story. NMH is a legitimately good game that is just sheer fun to play. If you are striking a big question mark for MGS4, who are you?

I'm sure everyone else has a different say for GotY, which you are completely entitled to. But this year, I'm feeling really good about my pick. It not only was a great game, but will be a great game forever.

Ok, I think I have stretched that out long enough, and now.......drum roll please...........................

My GotY is...................is.................................a tie? Yes. Honestly, I can not choose. The tie is between MGS4 and F3. MGS4 is considered one of the best games ever already, and if you have played it, you know why. On the other hand (as a fan of previous Fallout games), Fallout 3 really is a cool game. While playing it, you just have that feeling of addiction. The world is expansive, the environment is beautiful (in the gross kinda way), and the gore is the icing on the cake. It seems like Bethesda put so much into the game, that your head will explode with replay value.

I can sum the game up in one sentence. So, here we go:

Despite a very slow begining and occasional glithing bug here-and-there, Fallout 3 contines the Bethesda tradition of freedom in an open-world environment with a highly engrossing format and design, resulting in a outstanding game.

So.....yeah. IF you get the game, stick with it. I was considering trading it in after like an hour into it, just because it sucked. But after your weapon collection improves, the game takes a turn for the best. Very best. Anyway, the game is full of Easter eggs and bonus stuff to keep you playing for a while. And to all trophy/achievement wh.... hunters out there,give the game some time, and they will come in big chunks (but still take a while).

As for the other three games, I think LBP was the closet to next. It redefines alot about gaming.

I really do love the feedback from you guys. No joke. So, thanks alot.
