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

    Best voice acting goes to Mark Hammil. Don't mess that one up guys.

    @Shinta: Mark Hamill gives a great performance, no doubt. But I would give it to, er, the guy who played Alistair in Dragon Age.

    @mind in rewind: The voice actor for Alistair is Steve Valentine. At first I thought that I wasn't going to like his character that much until he started to warm up. I was shocked that he didn't get a nomination on Spike's VGA show, but then it's Spike TV.

    I was surprised to read the voice over credits and see a lot of my favorite voice actors in the game. Tim Curry, Kate Mulgrew (sp?), Claudia Black, Steve Blum, Yuri Lowenthal, Liam O'Brian, Nolan North, Cam Clarke, Jim Cummings (he's everywhere), Kath Soucie, and Fred Tatasciore are the one's from the game that I can remember right now. (Super-frog is a voice acting geek if you can't tell already. :P)

    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.

    Uncharted 2 or Demon's Souls here. Nothing else even came remotely close.

    @Archaotic: I agreed with those two games, Demon's souls gave me the biggest surprise of the year tho.

    It's unforgiving at first, but once you get hang of it it's gratifyingly good.

    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.

    I don't know! It's been such a good year for games... I've been completely impressed by how beautiful and engaging Assassin's Creed 2 is. I thought most definitely I'd say Uncharted 2, but I may go with Ubisoft. I'd probably throw Dragon Age in the mix, and it's totally complicated! I also think Arkham Asylum remains as one of my favorites from this year- what a tough decision!

    If WoW didn't celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, WoW players wouldn't know what time of the year it is.
