It was out of Batman Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Portal 2 and Skyward Sword.

I was rooting for Batman AC or Uncharted 3 to win but its no surprise at all that Skyrim won, congrats to it.

Personally i dont think Uncharted 3 had a chance at winning, the second one already won the award a couple years ago and these type of awards usually like to go with something different. Uncharted 3 was very similar to the second not really much better or worse.

Games like Batman, Skyrim etc however were huge improvements over the previous game and why they stood a better chance.

One of the favourites Gears of War 3 was never even nominated.

Grats to Bethesda - well deserved.

When they didn't announce the rpg of the year, I had a feeling they would bundle it with the GOTY. hehehehe

And it definitely deserves it. It's such an incredible game (in fact it's now my favorite game of all time)

Did they do an individual PS3, Xbox, Wii GOTY award because i guess i missed that.

Not my pick, but I can understand it. Congrats Bethesda.

I'll say congrats but won't say well deserved...(coming from a ps3 player)

With how bad Oblivion was i didnt want Skyrim to win the award either but you knew it was always going to.

The fact that it won leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Bethesda can make the glitches games and no one will ever fault them for it. Looking forward to Fall Out 4 and the problems that will come with it.

The fact they create a game that has some bugs and a few really bad ones for a handful of people and still win the hearts of many gamers is a testament to just how good that game is.
