Tell me your GOTY!

[Taberj45]

Heavy Rain. Greatest game ever!

 

[MicrosoftPaysMe]

Assassins Creed Brotherhood for making an amazing and unique world that just made me want to explore it all

The only 2010 games i played were New Vegas and MoW:Assault Squad, and since the latter was a Beta, and shit, i have to begrudgingly go with New Vegas.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty for Best Time Sink

Sorry, but I strongly disagree there. MineCraft should get that title.

I couldn't get into MineCraft the same way everyone else has. It's a lot of fun to play around with but I've never lost an entire day to it or anything. While I have to agree MineCraft is better at wasting time, I feel StarCraft II is simply the better game that just happens to consume many hours.

 

[karloss01]

no clue because of two reasons

1) I can't remember if the games i liked came out this year or last christmas (and too lazy to find out)
2) I can't actually choose, theres too many for my mind to handle.

Heavy Rain bitches! wasnt that fun, but i vote it for pure innovation's sake.

also, it's the single most depressing overall experience i have ever had and that's pretty cool.

I want to say Starcraft 2, but...I'm way, way too many hours into Civ 5 to not give it GotY. I'm just excited that many of the strongest contenders for GotY this year are PC exclusives.

With only Fable 3 left to play out of the games that have interested me, I think I'd have to go with Red Dead Redemption, with New Vegas a close second. I liked Mass Effect 2 as well, but there were a few things that disappointed me about it.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Tough one...

Highest all around quality(for me): Halo: Reach.
Best Atmosphere/Story: RDR
Biggest time sink: Fallout: New Vegas.

 

[Mcface]

ME2

Red Dead would be a trailing second.

 

[Alade]

(M)ass effect 2

Just when I thought the original game couldn't be topped they redo the gameplay and put in a fantastic ass for eye candy, I approve. (too bad the story took a side-turn, but that's the middle child syndrome).

 

[mireko]

Mass Effect 2
Bayonetta
Fallout: New Vegas

I'd rate New Vegas higher if I hadn't had to mod it just to get it to work properly.

 

[Torrasque]

Starcraft II beyond any kind of doubt.
After that, Reach.

I've been waiting for 10 years for SC2, and its everything I could have wanted, and I'll enjoy it for the next 10 years for the next one to come out...

 

[TerribleAssassin]

So far Black Ops, still have to try Vegas and Brotherhood.

 

[BoredRolePlayer]

Game of the Year(I don't want to get banned for using the bigger box art)

This game won GOTY for me with the trailer alone

 

[Marowit]

Red Dead Redemption

With a close runner up to Mass Effect 2


RDRedemption just blew me away.

For me, it's Vanquish. Sure, there have been other fantastic games, games with more "impact" if you like. But for me, Vanquish was an important game. Not because it made any contribution to the medium's desperate struggle for viability as an art form, not for its (admittedly terrible) story or acting, but because it exemplifies video games as games. As unadulterated, grab-you-by-the-throat action that tests your reflexes and ability to think under enormous pressure. Where other games told incredible stories or asked the player to confront their own morality, Vanquish distilled the most important part of the medium - gameplay - to its purest and most simple form: perfect controls, excellent level design, and over-the-top outlandish fun.

So I say congratulations to Vanquish. You may not sell as well, but in my opinion you are more important than Black Ops, Fallout: NV, Fable 3, Red Dead and Halo Reach, because you know what you are and what you want to be: a game. And you do it so well.

ME2 Or SC2.....untill cata comes out...then all bets are off and that takes the rapecake

vanquish hands down
