Muckraker  Posts: 308 Joined: 30 Jun 2009     | At this point, Borderlands is my fav game of the year. L4D2 and MW2 might soon change that. L4D2 might not have the story to really be a GOTY, tho. Realisticly, whether you like it or not, MW2 is a shoe-in to win damn near every award. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1871 Joined: 4 Oct 2007     | From what I've played, it's still a tough decision, I'd hand it to Dragon Age: Origins though, it's fun, it's difficult, well I'm finding it difficult with my multiple game overs thus far, looks good story so far is rather intriguing all be it somewhat predictable (you know which bit I mean). I'm going to throw Castle Age into the mix, for web-based game of the year, the damned thing is addictive and gets updated so frequently. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 604 Joined: 11 Sep 2009    | I gotta say Uncharted 2 should be a serious contender as it is the best 3rd person shooter in recent history, if not ever. Borderlands is just a shit load of fun with friends and should be given a shot. Dragon Age might be the best RPG of the decade (sorry ME fans) so even though the console versions are not as good it will still be seriously considered. Unless L4D2 does some really innovative stuff I can't see them getting the nod. MW2 will have to overcome this whole PC debacle as im sure some people will have that imprinted in the back of their mind. AC2 might get it but we will have to wait to see it when it comes out. I have to say batman was my favorite superhero game of all time but yet it still left a sour taste in my mouth. Maybe it was the fact that the boss fights were an utter joke that my sister could have done with little trouble. |

Can't argue with those choices |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1267 Joined: 11 Mar 2009   | Gotta go with Arkham Asylum. I had so many high hopes for it and it delivered in (almost) every way. That said, there's a few games I just haven't had time to play yet, seeing how university apparently owns my ass... Halo: ODST, Prototype and Uncharted 2 are still big black "?"s in my head. Also, I'm still waiting on Assassin's Creed 2, which I have high hopes for. -EDIT- I forgot: Honorable mentions go out to Borderlands (for well-implemented cell-shading and an awesome random gun generator) and Brütal Legend (for both praising and parodying my favorite genre of music and for the kickass world design, even if it was just a sandbox). |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 424 Joined: 11 Feb 2009   | From those I have played and beaten... Brutal Legend. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 363 Joined: 19 Jun 2009  | I believe that Uncharted 2 has a good shot at winning Game of the Year. For me, the game was just non-stop awesome, not a single boring moment. Assassins Creed 2 (got it pre-ordered) looks pretty good so far and might win it. Dragon Age: Origins might win it, I haven't actually played it yet, I'm just going from what the people on The Escapist have been saying about it. Modern Warfare 2 will probably end up winning though. The single player will probably be good, the multiplayer will be identical to the first, but with new perks. I don't plan on buying the game for a while, maybe that will change once I play it at my cousins house next week, but as for now, I'm not excited for the game at all. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 4 Joined: 8 Oct 2009    | I just plain refuse to pay £100 for another game and peripheral. Gonna wait till it comes down. Have played it though and it's very fun. Completely forgot inFamous in my original thread. Won't win GoTY but deserves a mention i feel for having such a great look and story Swiss |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 965 Joined: 19 Mar 2009 | Probably Uncharted 2 or Borderlands. The first for being amazing, and the second for being impossible to stop playing. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 189 Joined: 12 Jul 2009   | I would say Uncharted 2 or Modern Warfare 2. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 171 Joined: 16 Dec 2008 | Due to the sheer volume of hype, my vote goes to MW2. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1766 Joined: 2 Jul 2008  | It only makes sense to split this by platform: PC: ARMA II |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 424 Joined: 21 Mar 2009  | Uncharted 2 there's a few great ones to come but at the end i feel Uncharted 2 will be on top this year. I almost want to say its a near-perfect game, at least the closest one i've played where you can hardly find any real flaws. AC2 and MW2 will be up there as well, i'm sure. L4D2 will be spectacular fun too but my money and pick is def for Uncharted2. even if you're anti-ps3 you should get the sonsole just for this one |

... seriously? these are your game of the years? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1766 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 |
Yep. Post yours... |
Press Junketeer Posts: 424 Joined: 21 Mar 2009 |
well i dont have a 360 or wii, but i'm sure Left 4 Dead 2 would be my fav if i had xbox. no idea about wii or PC game of year, since the only PC game i bought this year was Sims 3. As for DS, i only got mario kart but i think that came out a while ago. i think your PS3 choice is what baffled me really... wipeout? i also can't see the gta4 spin-off being that good, let alone game of the year. |
Paperboy  Posts: 15 Joined: 20 Oct 2009 | Arkham Asylum was really a great game that delivered on everything I hoped it would be. I expect it to get at least a mention. Uncharted 2 looks phenomenal, but since I don't have a PS3 I can't really endorse it. Borderlands, as I've seen mentioned several times, doesn't really seem like a contender to me, especially if originality is a factor. In my opinion it's a lot like a rehashed Hellgate:London. If previous years are any indication it will probably go to Modern Warfare 2. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2534 Joined: 29 Aug 2009  | MW2 will sweep the board with most companies who make a game of the year, but the majority of aforementioned games with find their way into at least one game of the year... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 924 Joined: 14 Jan 2009   | My GotY goes to Cryostasis, though I know it won't win it. |

Super Mario Galaxy is an exclusive and it won Game of the Year by both IGN and Gametrailers. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 558 Joined: 26 Jan 2009 | I gotta go with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on this one. |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 1 Joined: 6 Nov 2009 | i would say mw2 will most likely win nearly everything but it would have to be assasins creed 2. the first was good and the second looks a hell of a lot better |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 558 Joined: 26 Jan 2009 | Didnt mean to double post but i had to speak on this.
This list, it baffles my mind how incredibly idiotic this list is. PC: Dragon Age: Origins I know my list isnt probably any better, but it makes a lot more sense that that one. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 637 Joined: 26 Mar 2008    | I'd like to see Batman:AA or Uncharted 2 take the cake , i'd imagine CoD:MW2 would do well as if it was the games destiny. As for my own personal pick,it would be to see Killzone 2 do well. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 577 Joined: 20 Dec 2008    | Right now, Flower and Demon's Souls are neck-and-neck. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3824 Joined: 1 Mar 2009   | Borderlands, probably. But who knows? I'm thinking of getting MW2 and AC2. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1255 Joined: 5 Feb 2009   | Dragon Age: Origins wins the RPG category by far. |

Fine. Exclusives rarely ever get it, and Ps3 exclusives will never get it, and I will eat my foot if they do. |
Muckraker  Posts: 242 Joined: 25 May 2009 | I vote Arkham Asylum
Of course it could, they could add a mini story and more challenge maps. |
