    GTA was in dev for 3+ years, has hundreds of voice actors and the largest open world ever created. NHL 09 is NHL 08 with an online feature. Come on guys lol think this one out when you vote.

    That doesn't mean it's a great game. It's still the same kind of game like the previous GTAs, and I'm sure there's a bunch of code reuse.

    In the end, GTA basically ended up with getting a mission, calling for a cab, completing mission, repeat the same process over and over again.

    And for what it's worth, I picked Fallout. But I bet the vote ends up going with NHL 09 just because that's what the demographic at LG is.

    I personally got bored with GTA IV after awhile because it was the same thing over and over. I voted for Rock Band 2 because I am a huge music/rhythm game fan and the setlist in rb2 is just amazing. With DLC included the game offers over 500 songs. Hours of fun with friends with world tour online.

    Ugh! GTA4 still had a lot of the same problems as GTA3, GTA:VC, GTA: SA, and even the portable GTA's. No way it should be game of the year.

    NHL09 for best sports game of the yr hands down.

    GOW2 would get my vote for the best non-sports title. Probably the best game i have ever played on my xbox.

    Game of the Year i would have to go with NHL09 based on how much i play the damn thing and never get tired of it. It really is incredible, like some drug im addicted to its actually pretty scary.:mrgreen:
