They all are, with the possible exception of SC2. The fact that they are considered the best of the year show how far standards have fallen. Not saying that any of them are bad games, but they certaintly aren't up to GOTY snuff.

Uh, what makes these games so much worse than past GOTY nominees or winners? Not attacking you or KylieDog or anyone else who agrees its been a weak year.....But I dont think these are weak games at all. Is it because they are all sequels? What's the last new IP that was the consensus GOTY? Bioshock I think? Before that it was.....I dunno.

Well first off GOTY almost always goes to the most overhyped game of the year. Which is why games like Halo etc. are all contendors. Its not about being a sequel, but in the case of these games its about being too similar to their predecessor or just flat out not as good (ME2). Its hard to keep things fresh. GoW is getting stale and theirs only been 4. Mario is way old. I don't care if they make sequels but give me a reason to play them if I already have other games in the series. But yeah, all these games are good. But none of them are particularly mind blowing or praise worthy.
