I think GTA 5 has taken the crown for gameplay this gen so far as it seems. Last of Us and Super Mario Galaxy are next. The GOTY is going to be tough to choose as it seems.

I still need to play Bioshock Infinite and the rest of The Last of Us, but I very much doubt GTA5 will be a candidate GOTY for me, GTA's never really worked for me.

As far as critics  awards go TLOU and GTA5 should be in close contention.

i've played Bioshock and TLOU has a much greater chance imho, even though Bioshock was quite impressive. GTA V crept up behind us with the gameplay. Never knew a open world game could be that deep in gameplay advantages. Seems like its going to be a long and deep game with a wide variety of alternatives. You have your spectrum of alternatives, your personalities, and the vast world thats multiple times the size of San Andreas. Makes me want to get Red Dead Redemption and go to work. Heh

Bioshock has great story but the actual shooting mechanics have always been a bit dull to me.  I was surprised by how uncinematic LoU was gameplay wise after playing Uncharted.  There really weren't very many set pieces and on Survivor the game was brutal and I was always running out of ammo and supplies to make health packs.  The fact that neither of them had regenerating health was so refreshing (I also loved R3 when it came out cause of this).  Health packs make everything so much more suspenseful and immersive.
