I'm suprised about GTAIV as well, the multiplayer was tacked on at the last minute and despite not having many "glitches" was so poorly balanced it was unreal, the game itself didn't give me much replay value and I got rid of it about 2 weeks after I got it.
Yeah while I certainly thought GTA was good, I didn't think it was GotY since it was basically more of the same with a different engine.
Also surprised to see L4D so low, I think I voted for L4D, Fallout 3, can't remember my third, though at the time I had not played GoW2 and Mirrors Edge which are both awesome games.
Words cannot describe quite how much I yearn for a PC port of LittleBigPlanet :(
I didn't really find L4D to be particularly consoley itazura. It didn't have that peculiarly slow, floaty combat that console fps have. In fact it was pretty fast paced in terms of gunplay, more Counter Strike than Half Life.
I'd say it was a pretty good year for gaming, I mostly agree with this list but I'd have to agree with what other folks have said about Mirror's Edge. It really wasn't good as everyone was hoping. I loved me some L4D but I feel like the PC version gets a big boost from user-created mods and content that the console version won't ever have access to. I personally have the 360 version and it's definitely a good game but it's replayability is hamstrung a bit by the lack of access to mods.
My biggest console disappointment this year has to be Fable 2. I definitely enjoyed the game and they made numerous little improvements but the story just has too many moments that had me scratching my head thinking "Did they not even care about the story at all?" for it to be a real winner in my book.
Mirror's Edge in front of lbp and gow2? How very odd.
GTA4 deserves to be first, it is imo the best in the series. The city feels more full of life, the missions are more involving and seat of your pants action.
It'd be a toss up between lbp and gow2 for 2nd and third. Having only played the first gow, I found it playable but very unforgiving and repetitive. I can only assume that gow2 improves on this, which would make it a pretty good game.
While I've never laid hands on a PS3, for fear of contracting terminal ****witism and thereby the inclination to start wearing football shirts, the fact remains that anything Gears is hideously bland. It's simultaneously so widely lauded that nothing more is required to prove the point that console owners are braying cattle, wilfully quiescent in the face of profiteering reductivism and led happily to gorge at the grey, goo-filled trough of mass market entertainment. The high-pitched, braying laugh of Gears' pre-teen fanbase is on the edge of hearing even as I type.

It is the job of sites like Bit-Tech to inform these poor, lost, unfortunate beings; to introduce their wizened little Sony logo'd souls to real computer games, not to assist the corporate mundanity machine in ramming evermore bland, cripplingly average and inoffensive drivel down their throats. It's as bad as bloody Halo, for crying out loud. Gears of War (2) is not a good game. What you actually mean is "it looks pretty". This is not the same thing.
GTA4 = Dire
GOW2 = Repetative after Second play through, horde mode not as brilliant as made out to be ppl FRAG hunt not really any teamplay
MIrrors = not bad saw the ending coming no real sense of REALLY WOW! city scapes are nice to look at though
LBP = GARRYS MOD! for PS3 and ppl with no life
L4D = Can get repetitive really needs more achievements and decent updates like TF2,good for ppl who just want to bash about with mates though and the 360 version HAHAHAHAHA whine when ur paying for the new campaigns when on PC there free
FALLOUT3 = Oh this MEH!

Mizugetsu - Quite possibly the dumbest post in the history of the interenet.
Have to say I enjoyed Mirror's Edge immensely, GTA IV was of course terrific and am currently working my way through Fallout 3 (a little disappointing though, can't quite put my finger on why that is).

GTA4 totally win that one, without the technical difficulties of PC version, it is simply the best game across all platforms.
i'm amused l4d only made it to #7 on the console, yet got to #1 on the pc, even though it feels so much like a console game it's unreal.

I preferred Gears Of War 2 and little big planet to that.

too many games have gone the way of Bioshock... :(
it cannot be described, just play it.

How odd.
People still play games on the pc?
What a peculiar bunch

Bad Bit-Tech.

I love people with an inflated sense of self-worth, hooray internet!

I think you might have all ready caught it, your certainly showing the symptoms. BTW GoW2 is a 360 exclusive, its not on the PS3.
What're your top 5 then?
Yes. Yes. I know.
Read it again.
