Well, that's why I replied and commented on your listed games specifically. Because I strongly believe GOTY can be nailed down to a handful of titles even at this early point.

Well, we dont know much about Fable III yet and maybe a miracle happens and Molyneuz fulfills all his promises for once lol.

Anyway, lets pick God of War 3, SplinterCell, Bioshock 2 and ME 2. While Im confident they're gonna get 93-95% on Meta, they won't get GOTY simply because they're too niched, won't get enough sales and are released too early in the year.

Final Fantasy is already far too criticised even before release to have even a remote chance.

Metroid M... even that Malstrom guy hates the idea lol.

Heavy Rain - a 1 million selling interactive movie xclusive on PS3 getting GOTY? No.

You do realize that Fahrenheit (which Heavy Rain is a spiritual successor to) got a metascore of 83, and Heavy Rain looks to fix the complaints of the first game, right?

Heavy Rain will be a contender for the title like many other games this year, trust me.

Trust me, it won't.

Not to bash Heavy Rain, because it's an original one-of-a-kind -game in these days, but there's so many factors that will hinder it from becoming GOTY. The most important being that it won't get 90% on Meta, having gameplay that is far too limited with it's QTE's and interactive cut-scenes. Other factors are comparatively low sales, niche genre and having an early year release.
