1. There will be several dozen game of the year awards. Every gaming magazine and every website dedicated to gaming has such an award. And yes, sometimes the readers do vote on them.



2. You can safely ignore the overall game of the year. Instead, watch what wins the categories of games that you like. Comparing DA:O to MW2 is just as silly as comparing a Diablo clone to a sports game. Comparing DA:O to the Witcher's latest release or Risen, though... that gets interesting.

Batman: AA



Its not only a great game, but its a great game about Batman, other then that I say Street Fighter 4

@ OP



I love this game but Uncharted 2 isn't exactly a generic shooter. It has the most visually intense graphics I've ever seen on a console and the story is incredible. The voice acting is also the best I've seen in any game.

[Y3110WD4RT]

i am glad, when games go main stream they become generic, the lore and comlexiy of this wonderful game would be lost to mass appeal.

[UBER GEEKZILLA]

all im saying is bioware gets no respect. just watch mass effect 2 is gonna be phenomanal and do things that have never been done before and yet it will lose to a typical shooter game with tons of gore, horrible dialouge littered with f bomb, and an uncreative story line with stuff blowin up outa nowhere

I don't know about that every preview I read about mass effect and dragon age,etc. Usually have nothing but praise and faith in Bioware.

IGN and Gamespot (IGN in particular) basically worship them as RPG gods.

[spernus]

Bioware get plenty of respect.

Never forget that Jade empire is one of the most overrated game of all time,even receiving a 9.9 from IGN(it's a decent rpg,but should be nowhere 90 on metacritic when Planescape:torment is at 91).

If anything,critics usually forgive many things in a Bioware game.Mass effect received great score,despite the massive flaws(inventory system,awful sidequests,lack of content and mediocre shooting mechanics) and technical issues of the first game(elevators used to "mask" long loading time,tearing,texture being loaded 10 seconds after booting the game,etc).

That being said,my games of the year are:

Street fighter IV
Uncharted 2
Dragon age:origins
Demon's soul
Batman:arkham asylum

I also expect great things from:

Super Street fighter IV
Mass effect 2
The last guardian
Alpha protocol
Starcraft 2

I somewhat agree...I would like to see DA get the recognition it deserves, especially for all of the work put into the rather original (by fantasy standards) setting and lore. The last RPG I remember wherein a company successfully did some good creative work on a fantasy setting was...probably Morrowind (certainly not Oblivion...blech).

That said, I really couldn't care less about all of the Game of the Year nonsense. So, some silly magazine declares some game OMFGGameOfTehYearLOLOL111! So now the publisher releases a GOTY edition of their game so they can re-sell the same game again with some "free" DLC. It's all pretty meaningless if you ask me.  It has more to do with marketing than recognition of high quality.  *cough*thegrammys*cough*

I wouldn't go so far as to say "blech" to Oblivion, but it certainly was inferior to Morrowind, which is still one of my favorite cRPG's of all time.  Morrowind was quite creative - the sense of being in a truly alien environment was truly overwhelming.  DA:O is quite good, but still within the realm of traditional fantasy RPG's.  By breaking away from the limitations of Dungeons and Dragons, they have made a better version of Neverwinter Nights or Baldur's Gate. 

[Nightwind7]

I will have to agree with "marshalleck". It's simple and fast, fun and have what most gamer want, explosion and high end graphic. let face it. The standard that gamer have today isn't quite as high as it should be. Take a look at MW 2. I did however expected something great out of there, but it's just the same old shooting and stuff, just different weapons, time and such. Strategy game and RPG are master piece, if everyone know what i mean, it take a lot of time to craft it up and even more time than that to truly enjoy the whole gaming experience that the producer present to us. With shooting ame, bing bang boom, over....i complete MW 2 for about 5 hours.....I have to stop in between just to play DAO to lift up my spirit to complete MW 2, I have to play it until the end to not feel that i wasted my money....



I also agree with "marshalleck" that game is like food, well not exactly, but like Mc Donald and fancy resturant. Fast food, you eat it fast, you get it fast, but real food take time to prepare and enjoy. Am i right?

DUDE OKDADIO NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN SUCKED
it started really good though had a great story but the ending SUCKED there was no climax the cop got killed by a buncha random guys the money disipeared and tommy lee jones character didnt even fit in the story
but your right i was wrong bout the whole driving miss daisy thing i ment annie hall won the oscar of 1978 i confuse the 2 for some odd reason
and 300 was awsome cuz it was a true story was visully amazing and the acting for the characters was great. i will admit though its not as good as braveheart or Gladiator

You've got to be joking, right? I'm of course talking about your opinions on 300. Sure, it's "based" on a true story, the battle is known to have taken place long ago, but how is it actually BASED on the battle? You're telling me there were ogres with crab claws, and massive giants with sword 3 meters tall? They just stole the scenario, and completely ignored all historical facts. And the characters? Great? That's going a little too far, no?  I thought the acting was horrible, and the dialogues made me laugh out loud many times throughout the movie. The movie was far from great, it was entertaining, but overall it was complete crap, and you really can't compare it to No Country for Old Men.

I hope Dragon Age get's the game of the year, one of the best RPG's I've played in a long time. Spent countless of hours playing, and I'd be very upset if a game like MW:2 comes along and steals the prize, which is very possible.

Sadly this game while being the most engrossing RPG I've played in years doesn't really have a shot because of the Niche this game falls into. Most of the RPG crowd nowadays are either into JRPG's or non-party based games. Since this is more strategy than they are used to this is going to hurt it greatly. I mean nearly everyday some casual RPG player gets on the formum complaining about the difficulty and such. That right there is going to kill it's chances at GotY.



In any case, I think Uncharted 2 has the best shot followed closely by Batman AA. Both were stellar in story and gameplay. Both really inovated their respective generes. Uncharted 2 in particular plays more like a movie than a game. The environment is constantly changing while playing that it make the actual gameplay feel more scripted and less repetative. Uncharted is far from a mindless shooter and really you'd only know that after playing it.

[Shappy1010]

 Uncharted 2 in particular plays more like a movie than a game. 

I think it was Zero Punctation who wants said that's a terrible argument: Why do we even want games to be like movies? It's like a movie where they are showing slides of text for 2 hours and then say "this movie really is just like a book!"

I'd vote for Batman AA, best stealth game since Splinter Cell. DA will never make GOTY, too much aimed for the hardcore RPG crowd. - I wouldn't want it any other way. Can't believe Deus Ex made GOTY once..wouldn't happen today.. ah wait, that was in a more civilised age.


Btw. I can't get over the fact that when I'm playing Uncharted 2 I keep hearing Alistair and Morrigan. (or vica versa)

[Claude_Speed]

would'nt underestimate the work that has been put in Uncharted 2 the animations are lifelike. (but lacks greatly in storytelling in my oppinion)

don't know about Modern Warfare since that I don't care for games like that.



I see your point though it is a shame indeed.



then again Game of the Year... is a commercial thing and in the future people might look back on Dragon Age as a Cult game

[GlobularFoody]

How about this...play the game..enjoy it..and don't give a **** about who wins what awards?

[newcomplex]

MW2 certainly isn't going to win PC game of the year.

[Inhuman one]

It could be worse than shooters though, they could give the award to a sports or race game.



No imagination at all required for those, just copy the real life thing every year and make small tweaks for each new release with prettier graphics.

Uncharted 1&2 got some pretty good story and dramatic scenes, it is a great game. CoD is just a shooter that is really overrated, they only aim to be a multiplayer game since that's what makes money these days. Look at how many RPGs that are going to be released in 2010 are MMOs, I'm Bioware made DA:O and we still got Mass Effect 2&3, but I was a little disappointed to hear about KotOR as a MMO... but thats just me. Still gonna buy it anyways.

[Qkrch]

People saying Street FIghter 4 is the best game of the year must be nuts



IMHO, DA has good possibilities because in some way innovates the single player RPG. Also Uncharted 2 that is technically awesome. COD: MW2 is COD5, fivee, nothing new respecting the other cods, as Sims 2 is nothing new.

[Terror_K]

DA:O definitely deserves to be GotY in my books. It's the best RPG since the original KotOR. Definitely one of the greats, with far more depth than the likes of Modern Warfare 2, which I personally think it only getting so much praise due to rep, expectation and hype. But then, I even thought CoD4 was overrated... a good game still, but overrated. And Modern Warfare 2 just looks like a slightly flashier version of that... there's nothing particularly refreshing or innovative there.



Uncharted 2 might have a shot, but being on only one platform limits its appeal somewhat. It's also far more linear than DA:O. Batman may also have a shot, but also suffers from that a bit. DA:O has far more length, depth, variety and replay value than both of them. Still... that never stopped Half-Life 2 from becoming an instant classic, and a well deserved one. Unless Assassin's Creed 2 is an entirely different game from the first, I can't see it getting the title. I honestly don't even understand the hype surrounding this one considering how much of a massive dud the original was, IMO.



I get the feeling Modern Warfare 2 will take more awards just because of what it is. Gaming these days has become a bit of a farce where awards are concerned, alas like many awards. At the very least DA:O should make a fairly clean sweep of the Best RPG awards, but it deserves the overall top spot more than CoD42 does I feel.
