I’m sure most of you have already seen Joystiq’s Game of the Year list, but I just wanted to put up a side-by-side for comparison’s sake. We did a Top 5, as opposed to their Top 10, so I’m only going to put up their last five. Here they are, Joystiq on the left, Threevue on the right:
5: Braid 5: Dead Space
4: Fallout 3 4: Rock Band 2/Left 4 Dead
3: Left 4 Dead 3: GTAIV
2: Metal Gear Solid 4 2: Fallout 3
1: Fable 2 1: Braid
So there you have it. The two greatest surprises for me are the absense of GTAIV in Joystiq entire Top 10, and that Fable 2 was their numero uno. That’s the beauty of modern games, though, there is so much variety that one man’s GOTY can be another man’s No-TY.

Yeah, I was surprised that Fable II was their #1. As I was reading their list, I kept trying to narrow down what their #1 was, and right before getting to it I said to myself, “oh crap, I bet they picked Fable, that’s bull crap.” – and I was right.
I love Fallout 3.
Thanks
Russ, at the beginning of their post, they said that their #1 was a sequel, and as I got to the end, I could have sworn it was going to be Rock Band 2. I was really surprised when I saw Fable II.
Dear Sony PSP,
I love Fallout 3, too. And cheese!
I also love Fallout 3 – not bothered either way about cheese, but def wouldn’t want to combine both.
That would surely either taste bad, or destroy my 360
I thought everyone from the UK loved cheese, I guess I’ve watched too much Wallace and Gromit…
