    Some interesting notes though are the all the game of the year games are the same exact as xbox 360 top games. All the wii top games are all first party titles. Surprisingly cod4 didn't make the list for xbox 360 or ps3 or pc games (im really shocked about that). Maybe cod4 came to late but mass effect came out after cod4. Not surprising that bioshock is listed.

        My predictions:

        GOTY:
        Bioshock

        -Mass effect is a outside chance here, though the technical hiccups and bland side quests might not overcome Bioshock's slick presentation.

        Most Addictive Game Fueled by Dew
        Yay for product placement!
        Well, considering Halo 3 had it's very own Mountain Dew flavor, I think this one is pretty easy.

        Best Shooter:
        COD4

        Best Xbox 360 games:
        Halo 3

        -While I think Mass Effect and Bioshock both have a chance here, there's not denying Halo 3's popularity, and that generally wins out in the console world (which is a whole different animal than the GOTY honors).

        Best PS3 Game:
        Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

        -Outside chance for Uncharted, though R&CF:ToD is higher-profile, and those games tend to win out regardless of comparable quality (see Halo 1-2-3)

        Best Wii Game
        Super Mario Galaxy

        Best PC Game
        Orange Box

        - Crysis may be pretty, but its multiplayer can't hold a candle to TF2, and Portal alone = win

                Best games:


                Halo 3
                CoD4
                Assassin's Creed


                Best Wii games I can see, except I hate Mario, so damn much. He use to be the best person ever until Nintendo made him a 3D fruitcake


                Best System:

                PC
                360

                Worst thing I've done all year:

                Bought a Wii and made way less profit then I expected when I sold it.

                  Spike's not really the type of forum that I would think would be particularly good at this sort of thing, so I'd rather see some sort of meta or consensus vote count at the end of the year.

                  For example, I don't think their audience/voters are going to go for Bioshock over Halo 3 for Game of the Year, especially if they're going by player counts of the 360 version over the PC version of these games in general. More players is more votes obviously.

                  Bioshock should win PC Game of the Year hands down, but there's a fair chance Crysis will take it. My biggest "worry" is that the average consumer is not all that likely to take incredible storyline and atmosphere over shear brutality and quick release action.

                  I would be shocked if Mario Galaxy loses out in the Wii category, and similarly shocked if it doesn't make other format/magazine/etc. GOTY finalist lists.

                    Shows like this are all about more marketing to make more money for the games. They are not really about rewarding the art and artists involved in making games.

                      sounds more to me like HL Orange box has it this year. they are up there in every catagory for every system out thwere. but then again, thats because there are 6 games in the set, and while all of them might not work for each person, there is something in the kit for everyone. Peggle for my wife, Portal for me, TF2 for my kids, and HL for everyone!

                      PORTAL FTW!

                        My problem with Orange Box as GOTY is that it's essentially a several year old game with some expansions tacked on. Half Life 2 and Episode 1 should be removed from consideration when rating this product.

                        So is the combination of Episode 2 (a 6 hour or so expansion), Team Fortress 2 (an innovative multiplayer game but with limited maps), and Portal (a completely brilliant yet only 2 hour experience) equal to GOTY material in this year of great games? Not to me. Granted, I think TF2 and Portal will continue to increase in value as custom maps and mods are released, but there are better games out there for the money that are more than just a collection of expansions and mods.

                        The shady practice of forcing everyone that wanted a retail box to purchase HL2 and Episode 1 would lower my score for The Orange Box, as well.

                        I think I'd have to give GOTY to Bioshock. Granted, I wasn't overly interested in it after playing the demo, but not because of any flaws in its presentation. It just wasn't all that interesting to me as a shooter with no multiplayer. It was, however, one of the very few games that tried anything new, and that alone is worthy of recognition.

                        Call of Duty 4 is great fun but it's not anything new, it's just an extremely well-polished shooter. Definitely FPS of the Year.

                        Halo 3 is...well, it's another Halo game. Fun but nothing award winning there unless they add a category for Best Coop.

                        Assassins Creed and Mass Effect are both entertaining, but aren't treading any new ground.

                        Rock Band isn't even listed, and though I'm a big fan of it and obviously biased, it's pretty hard to argue against it being the most innovative thing in gaming lately.

                        As BigTwinky mentioned, though, these awards are a bit of a joke. The first Spike ones did something along the lines of the whole "Jethro Tull-Metallica" embarrassment, I can't remember the specifics though.

                            I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
