GOTY awards are demeaning. There are too many great games that are released every year to prop one up above all of the others. Not to mention they are COMPLETELY subjective most of the time.

Last year me and my friends argued so much over if Mass Effect 2 or Red Dead Redemption was GOTY that it felt ridiculous. The only way it'll work is if GotY stands for GameS of the Year.

Mass Effect 2, duh!

Spike doesn't know what they are doing, in 2007 Super Mario Galaxy wasn't even a nominee despite being GOTY on most websites and getting the highest Metacritic of the year.

i disliked Mass effect 2 intensely. i thought RDR was wayyy beter.

Mass effect seemed to try to hard to be a shooter, but had terrible shooting and cover mechanics, the animations and action wer extremely stiff looking, and really took me out of the experience.

Did you like Mass Effect 1?

Mass Effect 2 is is one of my favorite games, I thought the gameplay was pretty damn good. An RPG which played like a TPS, and with damn good pacing. It's one of my top 5 video games ever, and I feel the exact opposite about the game from you.

As for Red Dead, I'm not a fan of westerns. Played the game for a bit and felt the controls were a downgrade from Grand Theft Auto 4. Didn't care much for the story or atmosphere.
