I believe in BioWare, I liked the first Mass Effect (the story, the setting and immersivity of the universe were superb) and Dragon Age was RPG Goty on some recognised sites. Also I don't think that release date have anything to do with chances for getting Goty, that's just ridiculous. The quality of the game is not determined by it's release date.
MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
