    My vote would go to Borderlands, but I think U2 is going to win it.

    Absolutely Uncharted 2. It did everything almost flawlessly, and really, it raised the bar in so many different ways. Whether it be graphics, level design, or what is easily the best acting in any game I've ever seen, it may be awhile before we see anything that can compare.

    Have I missed something, or is "Game of the Year" code for "Game that just came out within the last two months?"

    I'd like to suggest "The Maw" for the long shot dark horse. It held a great deal of imagination, I had a lot of fun and felt more creative and inspired than most of the games offered here.

    My vote goes to Uncharted 2, with runner up being Assassin's Creed 2. Specials honors for Batman and Borderlands. Haven't had the chance to play Dragon Age yet, waiting for Christmas on that one =(

    Not MW2. Not MW2. NOT MW2!!

    I know its going to win but it shouldnt, because its just COD4 put in the dishwasher. COD4 was amazing, redefining the genre forever. MW2 (COD5 1/2) is literally the same game with a slightly altered story line and a few new guns. Same good things about COD4, same problems as COD4.

    We all know its going to win the the Spike GTOY, and every other category its running in. But it shouldn't.

    For me, its going to be Assassin's Creed 2. AC1 had too many problems to be fun, but AC2 fixed those problems and added a lot more stuff to it. Its a sandbox game done right.

    Dragon Age gets an honourable mention, as does Borderlands and Batman.

    @TheOmnitron: Don't forget about all of the new issues that MW2 has that cod4 did not.

    Uncharted 2 has to win. I haven't felt so awestruck by a game since I played half life 2 for the first time. Which is saying a lot because to this day half life 2 is one of the best games ever made.

    In my opinion Assassin's Creed 2 is my GOTY. Modern Warfare 2 is fun and has replayability.. but lacks the deep story and absolutely immersion laced gameplay of Assassin's Creed 2.

    Also, I got my wisdom teeth out a day after release so I was playing it on a percocet high, so I was cheery and excited the entire time I played it.

    1000/1000 as well! :D

    @XODIS: Too bad percocet doesn't make you high at all. I just went through surgery and had a bottle of 40 of them. Had to take 1-2 every 4 hours. All they do is make you sleepy, give you constipation, act as really good painkillers, and possibly make you really nauseous.

    Modern Warfare 2 is my GOTY. Great single player and the best multi-player on the market.

    Batman AA is up there, although I don't know if I like it so much because it's actually game of the year, or if it's because I was just so surprised at how good it was.

    Uncharted 2 was good from what I played, but I only got to play for less than 2 hours total so I'm not comfortable picking that. It's probably as good a choice as any, though.

    Modern Warfare 2 mostly lived up to the hype, but a few nitpicky things like the dedicated servers issue, a short single-player mode and no co-op campaign (spec ops is ok, but I'd rather see a full mode with co-op) knock it down a few pegs. The multiplayer will keep me hooked for quite a while though.

    Games people have already forgotten about since they came out early this year, but are definitely in the mix: Punch-Out!! and Street Fighter IV.

    Definitely NOT game of the year: Borderlands or NSMB Wii. Both are fun, but the praise on those two is terrifyingly overblown.

    It's been a pretty thin year, Dragon Age is easily at the top of the heap. BioWare has it all figured out right now, next year is going to be even better.

    @Friedhamster: Those are all great games, but the Hollywood-style blockbuster titles aren't GOTY material for me anymore. Arkham Asylum would be my pick of those listed.

    For me... boy, I don't know... I've had a ton of fun with Bayonetta, and why shouldn't that count? It came out this year.

    While I'm firm in my choice of Uncharted 2 for game of the year, I would be remiss if I didn't give additional mention for two very special games.

    That Game Company's "Flower" needs no introduction, and Daniel Benmergui's "Today I Die" should be familiar for the die hard kotakuite.
