I don't understand how the critics could so easily over-look the design problems in Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, it's very rudimentary gameplay  stuff muddled up.

GotY means absolutely nothing, so it doesn't really matter either way. Shame, though, as some titles do deserve it.
Not every GotY winner has a GotY edition, too. s'all messed up. Wiki on GotY

But still, wouldn't be surprised if ME2 or DAO got a GotY edition. For all Fable 2, Oblivion etc are "disliked", they've got GotY editions. Just a whole load of marketing tripe at the end of the day.

I think most of the gaming media (gametrailers/gamespot e.t.c..) is mostly money driven crap under the guise of something else. Modern Warfare 2 getting game of the year on every platform including the pc was ridiculous.

[Loerwyn]

And ask most MW1 lovers and they'll say MW2 is nothing special. My dad spends hour upon hour on CoD, and he thinks it's a missed opportunity.

I continue to have a go at him for supplying with Cashtivision with money, too. Yay!

I agree, but Gamespot actually showed quite a bit of integrity in 2009 giving Demon's Souls the GOTY award.  Hell, Modern Warfare 2 was not even nominated.

Um Uncharted 2 won the most awards last year.

Galaxy 2 will win alot of awards this year and it deserves it.

So just because you did't enjoy Oblivion that means it was the worse game ever? Funny because before ME2 came out it was the highest rated RPG of all time, beaten by ME2 and ME2 does not deserve GOTY. Galaxy 2 does.

★ Fallout: New Vegas

★ StarCraft II - I've been playing the Beta since February and the game promises to be epic.

★ Super Street Fighter IV - How come no one mentioned this already? That game is everything good video games should be, probably won't be considered for GoTY though because it's essentially an expansion/rehash, but damn, the sheer re/playability of this title is off the scale.

Funny because you didn't read my post. I, personally, rather enjoy Oblivion (Where did I say I didn't, hm?) but I'm not blind to it constantly being knocked, just as Fallout 3 is. Galaxy 2 might win a GotY award or two, but unless they bring out some DLC it won't get a GotY release.

Yes... integrity... awarding Demon's Souls 2009 RPG of the year as well... riiiiiiight. Does that mean they'll be awarding it to Diablo 3 when that comes out? Demon's Souls might be a good game (though I've heard evidence to the contrary), but it's not an RPG. Hack and slash with levelling != RPG.

To be honest, I don't typically give the "game of the year" awarded by various review websites much credence. Or reviews in general, for that matter. I remember GTA IV was praised as "the best game ever" repeatedly when it came out, as was Modern Warfare 2.  GTAIV was an evolution, not a revolution, and MW2 was a decided devolution.

If it was decided by players, my vote thus far for this year would be ME2, and unless there's something coming up I don't know of or have forgotten, I don't see that vote changing.

Ok, I can understand all the Infinity Ward hate. I can understand why people have issues with MW2. But why do you all immediately dump on Call of Duty when it's Treyarch that's making this new one? I personally thought COD: World at War was a fantastic game. In fact, I would argue that the zombie survival maps as a side bonus are better than Left for Dead as a whole game. Just my opinion though of course.

Do you all just have some personal vendetta against anything Call of Duty or did you actually play World at War and thought it was poorly done?

Personally, I think if Black Ops is as well done as World at War then it deserves to win GOTR.

I thought World at War was/is a good game, and I would say its way better than MW2.

But at some point you realize CoD and MW are way more popular than they should be, and that popularity turns into awards they don't deserves.  MW2 isn't a great game, lets be honest with ourselves.  Is it a good game?  Yes.  A great game?  Hell no.  CoD4 was much, much better, but even it's slightly overrated (Although all within tolerable limits).

I feel like CoD has gotten to this point where whatever **** they put out, people will buy and they'll win awards for it.  Their 15 dollar map pack is a good example.  Who buys a 15 dollar map pack for Christ's sake?  

That's my beef with the CoD games too. But, I didn't play CoD4. Only 2, 3, and 6. I really think that 6 was a more powerful game with it's (yes, I know, rather unlikely) story because of how it was presented. The level where you shot citizens? That was... disturbing, but in that way where a game seriously makes you sit back and say: "Oh my God." and you have to take a break to absorb what just happened. The same when walking through a burning suburb. It's... I don't know. It's just disturbing to see the country I live in going up in flames like that. And no, it's not innovative or great as a story. But the presentation? That was what really drove it home.

Had ME2 had better plot presentation, the crew abduction would have hit me in a similar way to the Airport level in MW2, I bet.

[Fiery Phoenix]

I'm gonna go ahead and say ME2, assuming Black Ops doesn't take the cake, because anything COD tends to end up being GOTY, it would seem.

Portal has been delayed, Valve has betrayed us.

[Challseus]

It hasn't even been officially announced, but I'm going with Legend of Zelda Wii, assuming it comes out this year (as the rumor suggests). Such is my faith in Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma. If not, then Super Mario Galaxy 2 will suffice

That's for 2 reasons

1. The games Nintendo releases are pretty much bug free and optimized properly and...

2. Nintendo releases full games that don't need nickel and dime tactics to try and make more revinue.

I don't even own a Wii and most of the games on it aren't up my alley but damn if Nintendo isn't the most respectable of the big three, I hate Microsoft and Sony.  And as a game dev they are faaaar and away the best in terms of giving their core constituancy what they want.  I have to give major props to Big N as simply the first and greatest of the console companys and for not selling out to BS DLC tactics...

So with that said, my vote is for Mario Galaxy 2 and I have yet to play it, but ya know what, I don't need to, from all the praise and all the good things I've been hearing, it deserves it.

[Fizzeler]

ME2, Alan Wake, RDR, F:NV, RB3, or Starcraft II will take it IMO



If FF13 will win anything (I never played and don't plan to have just seen cutscenes) it will be for graphics

[Kaiser Shepard]

Yeah, instead of "selling out to BS DLC tactics" they resort to selling out to the casual audience.



In any case, the lack of any DLC on the Wii is probably due to the fact that it's interal memory is rather small: just half a gig or 512MB. To compare, that's just enough for either Zaeed or Firewalker, or one average mappack.

+1 Respect.

Same for Capcom. WAIT, SURE they release like 9,301,248 different versions and minor sequels for all their franchises, but each of those products ARE complete, standalone games in their own right and released with extreme polish and an impressive lack of bugs that most other companies (especially American developers) can only dream of.

Galaxy 2 does not need DLC. It was a fantastic game and alot more fun then ME2.

I'm not sure how making games for a casual audience is selling out as Nintendo has always tried to make games more family oriented.  I mean if you don't like Nintendo games that's fine, as I said most Wii games aren't my cup of tea either, but don't let that blind you to the fact that they're extremely professional when it comes to releases.

Big N is without a doubt the most consistent and polished developer in videogames along with being the most creative, even if that creativity falls flat.  Virtual Boy was a complete failure and for any other company it would mean resorting to old standards but instead Nintendo just keeps trying until they get something that sticks.

Almost every single style of modern console and/or game was started by or featured by Nintendo so try and give them some credit...

And why didn't they put a hard drive in?  I'm gonna assume that it's because they don't feel the need to support DLC.  If you can't make a game that's complete upon release then your either a sub-par developer or uber greedy.  I respect their business strategy and will always defend them, at least until they become another EA or Activision...

I think one of Nintendo's problems is exactly this. The Wii is flooded with minigame titles, yet look who have made the top selling ones on that console - Yes, it's Nintendo. Wii Play, Wii Sports (OK, to be fair that was packaged with it), Wii Sports Resort, Wario Ware, Mario Party, Wii Music and so forth.

Creative? I have to disagree with this to some degree. Nintendo almost relies on its franchises - Mario, Metroid, Zelda (and perhaps some others) for success and I think that might come back and bite them. Mario Party is, I believe, on its 8th iteration but have any been as successful as the first 2-3 in terms of impact? And instead of solving the issue with Twilight Princess and the orientation of the Wiimote/Nunchuck, they flipped the whole game and as such the Wii had an inferior port then and there. I don't see why they couldn't have just flipped Link around, personally.

Keeps the price down. Got to remember one of the killer selling points of the Wii was its price. Small, low power hardware, no "true" HD... The Wii really isn't much of a step up from the Gamecube, and I do think Nintendo will pay the price for that in the future. One problem with the Wii is 3rd party support, and I think that's more to do with Nintendo's hardware choices rather than their control system. If you look at games like MW (or was it MW2?), it has an almost completely different version on the Wii, and if they don't sell then developers won't go to the Wii. Nintendo have the market for the Wii in both games and hardware, and that is *bad*.
The Wii will need a HDD or similar in the near future, though, because of the WiiWare shop, so people are going to want to download more and more games.
