    Well i think most ppl who voted for ACII or Borderlands haven't played Uncharted 2 . Really the only game that deserves it . I played all the other games and really love them but you can see the love NaughtyDog gave Uncharted .

    so GOTY should be uncharted.

    remmember its not the most fun you had with A game its the best game overall ( because ppl have diffrent experiences)

    @jack2pot: ...what? What makes a game good except being fun...isn't this just one big bag of subjectivity.

    "Don't vote for the game you like personally the best vote for the one I like the best because it's not your opinion that matters it's mine."

    That's essentially what you just said.

    @(Zombie) D Mitsuki, Gotta have guts kid!: my whole comment was about how uncharted was fun And had all the other qualities perfected.

    what i meant is not many ppl really own a ps3 so they didnt try it . but alot of ppl have xbox's so i dont think the voting will be fair because not that many ppl got to try this awesome game .

    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.

    I do have a PS3, and I didn't even want to get Uncharted 2.

    I haven't seen anything that suggests that it has anything beyond loose, Gears of War style gunplay, which is good fun, but not the second coming of Christ, and some pretty weak stealth elements that I would probably enjoy, but are again, hardly that revolutionary.

    What do people find to be so amazing about the game, specifically? Puzzles, the Hollywood style explosions in the levels? I'm genuinely curious. Even better, if you can post a youtube video of one of your favorite sections of the game, I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about.

    @Shinta: "Game of the Year" most always has been a blockbuster award, meaning it's going to go to the obvious candidates: Batman, Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, or Assassin's Creed. Personally, all four draw a meh from me because we've been there before and are there each and every year as we watch the larger budgeted 3-D action fare duke it out for the honor.

    Personally, my Game of the Year is Trials HD. I know it has a snowball's chance in hell of winning, and that's being overly optimistic itself, but I can think of no other game that'll I'll be playing for years on end and still get challenged every step of the way. The problem with these awards is that inevitably you have all kinds of people with differing tastes trying to decide which is singularly the best game released that year, a process which will only push forth the best homogeneous choice.

    @Kobun: So true. I usually enjoy the category awards more, best sound, graphics, multiplayer, etc, as it seems more likely that we'll be able to get closer to a good decision with a more specific approach.

    @twinturbo2: Next to Undefined Fantastic Object, Forza 3 is getting the lion's share of my playtime...

    Though I think it's about to plummet - I can't connect to online games due to NAT issues, but my Gold trial just expired, so now I can't even browse the storefront. That kind of makes it a Gran Turismo with fewer cars and looser physics. :/

    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.

    The greatest injustice would be if Uncharted 2 didn't win. It deserves every accolade it receives and shouldn't be overlooked by anyone who calls them self a gamer regardless of platform preference.

    I am guessing that MW2 will be Game of the Year, but AC2, Batman Arkham Asylum, and Uncharted 2 will be candidates.

    What do you think?
