When you have W@W as game of the year for your system then you know most of the games must really suck. I'm guessing this is sales.

I played Fallout 3 and even finished it. But I didn't think it was GOTY material. It felt a bit to err.... wierd. I still can't put my finger on it. But was a good game but not GOTY good.

GOTY = Game of the year ;)

"The Rampage Soundtrack of the Year: Guitar Hero World Tour"

Personally, I thought Rock Band 2 did almost everything better, and had a better soundtrack. The only feature that I feel World Tour had that Rock Band didn't was switching NPC singers in the middle of a set based on the original singer's gender.
