overall GTA IV- how could this not be? Sports NHL 09- great graphics and the only sports franchise that improves greatly from year to year. Shooter CoD: W@W- copied everything that made 4 great Battlefield: Bad company- funny story line. Sandbox environments(online and offline). Graphics CoD: W@W- A crazy amount of characters onscreen. even more than cod4. What can ya say? they copied everything cod4 did great. GTA IV- for how big the game is, the detail is still amazing

Best Game Overall Fallout 3 Best Sports Game NCAA Football 09 Best Shooter Fallout 3 (VATS system is awesome) Best Graphics Fallout 3 Best Arcade Game No idea, I don't play them.
To clarify, this was something I was wondering myself (I haven't played much of Fallout at all so I wouldn't know). Isn't Fallout considered something other than a 'shooter' in terms of game genre? I believe Spike had it listed as an RPG or something of that caliber. Then again, maybe game genre is simply up to personal interpretation.
to me fallout is a Rpg with a cool shooting feature implemented. but that's only to me...I havent played so I don't know how much shooting really has to do with the game
Shooting in Fallout is not a true FPS. GOTY - Fallout 3 Sports game = NBA 2K9. Nothing blew me away in this category. NHL09 was solid and so was Madden. Graphics = GOW 2
