Your Game of the Year


Recommended Posts

A toss up between Batman & Assassins Creed II.

I lean towards Batman though as it was a stab in the dark and paid off handsomely. I can't really vote for Uncharted 2, I've only played it at work and not had a genuine chance to sit down with it since I don't own a PS3 atm. :(

Exactly how is it terrible? Seems like flame bait considering most of the replies have included it as GotY or runner up.

Yeah, because a personal opinion is a democracy - If the majority likes it, then I have to as well?

It's boring, gunplay is the worst I've seen since ... Uncharted 1 and that was beyond crap, story is a real Hollywood snoozer, everything is extremely linear and the only thing impressive about the game is the graphics - Only reason why I bought the game was all the media and internet hype, what an utter disappointment.

You can tell this is Neowin when the annual GoTY topic turns into games I hate/why I don't like the games you like/why I hate the fact you hate the games I like :laugh:

How hard is it to post your GoTY no strings attached around here? :p

So far, I'd have to go with, in this order:

1. Dragon Age: Origins

2. Batman: Arkham Asylum

3. Mirror's Edge* (I'm referring to the PC version, which *did* come out early this year)

4. Left 4 Dead 2

5. Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter

By only going with Games I have played I would have to give that to New Super Mario Bros. Wii

+1

No question.

Might have to check out Uncharted 2. Do you need to play Uncharted 1 to understand?

I give it a page before you start chiming in to defend Uncharted 2 or Demon Souls. ;D :p

So many good games this year.

Assassins Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins...

Probably Dragon Age.

Dragon Age for now. Otherwise, Mass Effect 2.

Mass effect comes out next year.

For me i would say... Borderlands - the shear thrill of getting that next damned amazing gun is unbeatable. Due to popularity and sales i think it will go to MW2, though i don't enjoy it as much. Though ODST was a great game, it did not reinvent the wheel in any way - so i don't think it will get a nomination. I think that Batman: AA should also get a honorable mention just due to the fact it's been the first *great* super hero game (i don't count Ultimate Alliance as a great one due to the fact the story is not about any individual character, it's just a beat-em-up in a general story line with super hero characters)

That seems to be an unfortunate reality of all forums, eventually, Neowin seems to have managed it quite good though, I know the Site i was an Admin of years ago was spawned out of the Hell that took place on the original Gameshark.com forums, and that "Sickness" followed us there as well and eventually it became a ghost town after about 4 years or so

I'm already predicting Mass Effect 2 as being my GotY next year. The only things that I can think of that could knock it out of the #1 slot is if Rage or Half-Life 2: Episode Three come out next year. Bioshock 2 will likely be darn good, and Aliens versus Predator *might* be really good (as someone who loved AvP1 when it came out all those years ago, I do hope it is), I don't see either of them being better than ME2.

Uncharted 2

Assassins Creed 2

nokia - I am not sure, but I have uncharted 2 on my Xmas list, and currently playing through part 1 anyway. Uncharted 1 is so far, a brilliant game too !

I hate GOTY because I'm so indecisive on the issue. Instead I usually like to pick a top 5 (in no particular order): Dirt 2, MW2, Borderlands, RE5, and either Fallout 3 expansions or BF1943.

Haven't had a chance to play AC2 yet, but I'll update this topic once I get a chance to over Christmas break if it impresses me.

Again, do you need to play Uncharted 1 to understand Uncharted 2?

Nop, but its better if you played it before playing Uncharted 2 (for the back story of some characters, but its not necessary).

No but you should play the first one too. Like sexypeperodri said, for the back story about the characters. It is a great game too.
