After The Fact: Reviews Revisited

Update: Extra Character
Posted: Nov 4, 2008 12:41 pm PT
Though it wasn't possible when SoulCalibur IV arrived in stores, Darth Vader and Yoda can now be pitted against each other regardless of which platform you're playing on. Adding an extra Star Wars character to your roster isn't free, though, and at around five dollars it's not great value either.

    fallout 3 deserves rpg and MGS4 as the best action adventure.

    Fallout 3 deserves rpg
    Smash brothers brawl does also for fighting
    Left 4 dead totally does
    i still think fifa 09 deserves the sports
    Advnaced wars should have won stratgegy

    Smash bros shouldn't even be considered a "fighting game". SSF2THDR is million times, or two million times, better than that.

    @AmazedTony123
    wth?
    MGS4 was SO much better then Dead Space, and GTA 4 was better also

  • BaraDani

    Posted Jul 24, 2009 10:51 am PT

    I think Prince of Persia is the best platformer of 2008. I very much love that game!

  • AmazedTony123

    Posted Jul 19, 2009 9:00 pm PT

    what the heck? why wasnt dead space action game of the year? its way better than metal gear solid 4. and it should have been a tie between mortal kombat DCU and soulcaliber 4!!! super smash bros is a piece of crap!!!

  • handsomeboy1996

  • Ace2206

    Posted Jul 12, 2009 8:56 pm PT

    I gotta say gamestops choices this for 2008 were really bad. The other games they enlisted were better than the ones they chose. They chose Braid over Mirrors Edge or Little Big Planet!

  • 1DerekR1

    Posted Jul 2, 2009 8:07 am PT

    I'd have said SC IV was the best fighter. It's much deeper than SSB.

    What does Gamespot has with Braid... I mean, its a good, funny game, but no way its over Little Big Planet...

  • NoctisLucis

    Posted May 7, 2009 1:16 am PT

    dont get on Braid to but comon, how many games you know like MGS4? .......of course it deserve all the prices becouse it was a game develope over and over again in the same base achiving somthing close to perfection, hope that teams like the ones from dead space, and assasins creed , and some other good ones, get some similar philosophy so the overall game standard open the door to improve instead of get stuked in repetitive unoriginal works who just try to be a good money making chance.

    good games always have that extra lucid hand who knows what to do in my opinion. like all good work needs a master craftman who guides eaither this is film music or make a dam violin !!

    braid developers must have payed GS a lot of money to put them on top of mirrors edge and prince of persia

  • penguins227

    Posted Mar 22, 2009 2:07 pm PT

    Audiosurf was the best!!! Rock band 2 just had more songs... audiosurf's concept could not have been improved more. You could choose any song!! It was made by a random student, not a big company!! That is awesome in itself!

  • pigpen4483

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 7:37 pm PT

    omg sooooooooo many good games for the best shooter cat. I would have gone with either crysis or gears 2, but left 4 dead was super awesome also

    I'll be honest, I have no idea how Braid beat out Mirror's Edge which i thought was friggin' brilliant. Shocking

  • sk8erwarlock

    How did braid win platformer of the year?

  • faizsadasd

    Posted Feb 17, 2009 12:22 pm PT

    lol,i have all the ones that one i bought all at the same time

  • ACE-414

    Posted Feb 15, 2009 5:34 am PT

    i'm surprised Resistance 2 didn't win, it's a really good game (i'm not saying Left 4 Dead is rubbish, because that's a good game as well). As for best racer i'm sure MotorStorm: Pacific Rift or Race Driver: GRID would've won if Burnout wasn't there. And how the hell did 'Braid' beat 'Little Big Planet' that's got to be a fix
