Now that 2010 is coming to a close and all the major releases are out what are your guys Game of the Year for 2010?

I get the feeling that judgement will have to wait for a lot of you though until sometime next year, maybe 6 months from now? Approximately the time it might take to catch up with all of your backlogged games.

Right now I still have a backlog of 3 games. Enslaved, Castlevania, and New Vegas which I haven't played much. Still want to get Fifa and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

However, I don't think any of those will take the crown away from my current contenders for GOTY.

It's between Heavy Rain, Red Dead Redemption, and God of War III.

Its really close between Red Dead and Heavy Rain for me.  I'd select Heavy Rain it for its original captivating story and unique gameplay. The story is really what blew me away the first time along with my fear for living with the consequences if one of my main characters died. I told myself I wouldn't reload if it happened. That made every moment of danger very intense! And for Red Dead Redemption its up there for its excellent storytelling and open world, memorable characters and awesome DLC. The zombie undead nightmare is a must own! 

Perhaps because God of War III is mainly a huge improvement in graphics and being a sequel with similar gameplay to the first two games I wasn't as blown away because I already knew what to expect. Still I loved every second of the gameplay and its a close runner-up. The more I think about it, some of those epic boss fights have me questioning my decision.  

Right now I'm thinking Heavy Rain.  JAAAYSON. lol

It's like you literally took the words out of my mouth ^-^
