Know I know it is thinking a little much, being that SSBB has not even come out yet, but what do you all think. Will SSBB brawl be game of the year?!?! If yes why, if no what will and why not??

too early to tell. for all we know FFXIII Versus could be better than Halo in terms of multi player(though I doubt it). Starcraft 2 is also a good possibility. I mean when it was announced Korea had a parrade for it.

You have to consider the fact that 2008 is going to be a GOOD year for gaming.

Call of Duty 4, Gears of War 2 will be dropping out this year, Devil May Cry 4 came out, Metal Gear Solid 4 is releasing this year, Brawl is inching towards the throne, but it'll have heavy competition this year.

I'm going to put my money on it being a nominee, but in the end won't be Game of the Year.

The smash series never had alot of people who knew what it was.
Only because it was on a not so popular(meaning many people didnt buy it) system.
But now, since smash is on wii, and wii is one of the top consoles out so far.
People are starting to take notice of it.
A reason could be because, lets face it, the wii doesnt have that many hardcore games, and there are alot of hardcore gamers and got disapointed by what wii had to offer.
But now, here comes a hardcore game!
Well see what will happen in a couple months after the USA release

Two most anticipated games of 2008 were Brawl and MGS4... so let's see what happens.

The game of the year is probably going to be some stupid game for a system I don't have in a series I don't bother playing

It could be, but it propably won´t. I haven´t seen many games others than FPS or action getting the game of the year title...

But at least it should get the best multiplayer, fighter and soundrack rewards imo.

Maybe that's the reason they hold up the PAL release : so more people will remember it at the end of the year.

YES! I hope it does
Brawl is obviously better than mgs4 halo3 ff13, Most fans of those games are in denial that brawl has more stuff and is better
The thing is that since brawl has so many modes and stuff added and a lot of effort was put in it it just has to be goty IMO

Brawl probably won't win due mainly to it's Genre. Fighting games are never viewed very well on the Academy of Interactive Arts and Science game of the year. My guess is either spore or MGS 4. Spore's innovation and creativity will really help it.

Too many good games being released this year. SSBB most likely will be a runner-up imo.

although brawl is going to be great, other games like Gears of war 2, Halo wars, and any other random games that'll come out at the end of the year are going to blow it away. Brawl won't get GOTY

It might become game of the year but seems like lots of people done even know about the game, that would be the only reason that it might not. To us it is the game of the year since we are veterians.

Won't be. Might be close, but theres potential solid games it has to compete with as well arriving throughout the year.
