Game Of The Year 08, Once Again!

A few days before moving from 2008 to 2009, we discussed about the game of the year 08, as seen on GameSpot. Now, we'll leave those aside and move to another well known gaming site that just made public the final results of its own "game of the year 08" rankings - GameSpy.

To be honest, I didn't manage to taste at least half of the games in the list below, but I've heard a lot about all of them, from various media sources and fellow gamers alike, and I must confess that the winner made me extremely happy - justice has been done!

I know a "worst of 08" would also be a very interesting games top to see, and maybe we'll do one of our own, but until then, let's see the overall games of the year, as they came out on GameSpy, shall we?

Overall Game of the Year
Fallout 3 (PC/360/PS3)

Overall Top 10 Games of the Year

1. Fallout 3 (PC/360/PS3)
2. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (PC)
3. Left 4 Dead (PC/360)
4. Gears of War 2 (360)
5. LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
6. Grand Theft Auto IV (PC/360/PS3)
7. Rock Band 2 (360/PS3)
8. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC)
9. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)
10. Professor Layton and the Curious Village (NDS)

Sweet! Now, as usual, here's my complaint - I don't think Left 4 Dead is one of the best games of the year 08, and Metal Gear Solid 4 would deserve a better place. That's for me, so... what about your opinion regarding this last game of the year 08 top?
