Between Smash, Far Cry, and LittleBigPlanet, I'm guessing two of those three will wind up at or above 90. Don't really know what to expect from the others.

GOTYs should be interesting this year, since many of the highest-rated and most high-profile releases of the year were rereleases (MCC, TLOU, GTA), and therefore will most likely be disqualified from contention, and most of the uber-hyped AAA blockbusters (Titanfall, Destiny, Watch_Dogs) were underwhelming.

What we're left with are a few relatively niche games vying for attention. The only really big game left is... Smash Bros... and for that reason I kind of hope it doesn't win. I'd rather see Dark Souls, Bayonetta, LittleBigPlanet, Shovel Knight, or something else along those lines be recognized.

I have a feeling Far Cry(if it turns out to be decent), Destiny or DA:I will take GOTY. LittleBig Planet does not have the "AAA" spectacle, ShovelKnight is an indie game, Bayonetta 2 is too outlandish, Dark Souls 2 is developed by a Japanese developer and Smash Bros might get flak for being too samey.
