Chief S21's Game of the Year 2008

Grand Theft Auto, in my opinion, is a game made for the gaming gods. There is so much to do in this game and it never gets old. I spent around 35 hours on this game rushing through the story. The single player alone is worth more than the retail price to me because of all the possibilities. The multiplayer is fun because you can go through the city you've played through over and over with your friends and do missions or just screw around together. The characters are realistic, great to get to know, and hilarious. The graphics are amazing and the story is one of my favorites from any game I have ever played. And that's Grand Theft Auto 4 is my Game of the Year 2008.

Runner up: Fallout 3



Fallout 3 is jam-packed game with, just like gta4, has so much to do. The main quests alone took me around 30 hours and the side quests took me around another 20 hours to finish. Post apocalyptic D.C. looks really realistic and I see some many things I would find in D.C. today(seeing as how I've been there at least 150 times). All of the quests are top notch and very interesting, as in, they keep the player interested. A great contender and awesome time investment. And that's why Fallout 3 is my game of the year runner up 2008.
