I loved GRID more than any recent racing game. It was and probably is the most difficult racing game I've played to date on the normal difficulty - racing for 20 minutes straight without any errors takes some patience

Fair list from G4, which is surprising. X-Play was always the best show on there.

With the amount of crap EA put out this year I found a good list of there best ones for 2008..

* Boom Blox — 85
* Burnout Paradise — 88 (360), 87 (PS3)
* Battlefield: Bad Company — 83 (360), 85 (PS3)
* Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 — 81
* Crysis Warhead — 84
* Dead Space — 89 (360), 88 (PS3), 85 (PC)
* Left 4 Dead — 89 (360), 89 (PC)
* Spore — 84
* Rock Band 2 — 92 (360), 91 (PS3)
* Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning — 86

As well as the rest of the crappy high scoring sports games.. Madden,Tiger Woods,NHl,NCAA,.....
Might I also add quite a few of these are actually only published by EA not developed

Why the hell MTV felt like giving everything on 360 a extra point over Ps3 is unknown to me....

Even though games like LittleBigPlanet and MGS4 deserve it, Grand Theft Auto 4 will get it.

I can not believe this is GTA IV as the GOTY. GoW2 and Fallout 3 surpassed that game by a mile.

Negiotiation HAD to be involved.

I can see GTA 4 grabbing the title. No surprise there. It has sold a ridiculous amount of copies world wide, had the biggest opening week a video game has ever had, and it's an overall solid game imo.

I doubt there was any "negotiation"s. Numerous other gaming sites have ranked it as GOTY as well.
