Bioware will win simply because theirs is going to be the most recent release and thus the most recent "BEST GAME EVAAAAH!".

*scoffs at the unwashed masses, adjusting his monocle*

Actually, in all honesty, I don't know and don't really care...all those PR stunts and stuff...just giv-I mean SELL me good games, that's all I care about.

Pretty sure gamers will remember Skyrim and Portal 2 :p

I have Bethesda, Bioware, Valve, and Nintendo in the final four with Bioware and Bethesda in the finals. I am nearly certain Bethesda will beat Bioware because the of the negative feedback Mass Effect 3 has been getting and how well Skyrim has been received. Though I think it will be close because Mass Effect 3 will be out then and it will definitely bum Bioware's popularity. I personally want Bioware to win but I'm going with what I think will happen not what I want to happen.

EDIT: Kind of surprised Bungie is absent this year, seeing as their are quite a few Devs that haven't done anything for awhile that I'm aware of.

I cracked under pressure and just said Atlus beats Naughty Dog.

I'm such a terrible person... I should've picked something more mainstream.

My first was Bethesda and my second was DICE. It was a difficult choice though since BF3 and Skyrim are tied for my GOTY 2011.

I put Crytek pretty high up because they just announced they were going to announce Timesplitters 4. But I can't help but always put Naughty Dog up for winner of it all. A man can dream right?

Anybody who was on the left, for every option I chose left.

It will never work that way but if it did I would laugh my head off!

I predict as always, Valve beats whatever. In this case, Bethesda.

While I hate myself for some of the choices I made, I tried to play to the points this year, rather than personal taste. I've picked Bioware to take the cup for two reasons: The Old Republic and Mass Effect 3.

If Mojang happen to win this year, I'm fine with it, because they're "legal" now in my mind. :p

mine was between Valve and Bethesda. I voted for Bethesda, which looks like the potential winner.

Agreed. They are now a 'legitimate' dev in my book.

I know Minecraft has been playable for some time now, but it only got released in, what, November? Apparently, they had an earlier game released, but there's no way they would have gotten the same strength off that alone.

But, everyone's entitled to their own voting reasons. It just felt to me as if you were to vote for Valve because HL3 is eventually coming out. It's a yearly event, so I feel you should judge companies based on the previous year's (March '11 to March '12 in this case) releases, not history or future.

Indeed. It doesn't feel right to me if you're voting for a dev for something you haven't played yet. Like voting Best Director for a film that hasn't come out yet. Is that a good analogy? But hey, sometimes it's inevitable if you're a dev who has an upcoming game. Mass Effect 3 is sort of justified since it has a release date close to the start of the competition but that may or may not be a blessing ;).

Riot.
For me League of Legends is easily my game of 2011, with Skyrim coming in as close second.
Leage of Legends will probably alsy me my game of 2012 unless GW2 does indeed come out this year.

I voted for Bethesda to win. Could swing the other way though - I'm not sure if it is a very, very vocal minority on the Escapist that seems to despise Bethesda or if there is actually a huge amount of people here that don't like them.

I voted on who I WANT to win, not who WILL win.

I have Bioware vs. Valve in the final with Bioware winning.

Cmon Bioware! This is your year to shine! You've been runner-up for the past 3 years it's time for you to win this time.

Since Mass Effect 3 will have been released by the time it starts, and Bethesda made Skyrim, I predict the finale will be between those two, with Bioware winning due to its loyal fanbase on here.
