2008 Best Story of the Year
There were more than a few compelling storylines in games in 2008. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed offered a more gripping back-story in 8 hours of gameplay than George Lucas could pull off in three prequels. Fallout 3, Lost Odyssey and Persona 4 gave us three distinct and incredible examples of how the RPG can be used to tell a powerful and personal story. And who can forget the detail, depth, and full-circle nature of the plot of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots?
Yes, 2008 saw a goodly number of story-driven games. But there can only be one best ever for the year.

I THINK Gears 2 SHOULD get an honorable mention here.
Come on... Gears 2 made history by MAKING a story unlike the first one.

To be fair, the story in MGS 4 wasn't exactly easy for newcomers to get into. Fallout 3's actual story, not the side stuff, but the six or seven actual story missions are pretty paint-by-the-numbers sci-fi. While Persona's story was solid, GTA's just had a bit more going right for it.

There was a story in GTA 4? Was it about pushing your date off skyscrapers?

Those games all had good stories, Voyou San, no one is denying that. As to GTA IV winning, that was the overwhelming opinion of the Gamervision writers. You don't have to agree, but remember that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
