Voting for 2001 is now actually over. It was a very close race during both the initial voting and the runoff. In the end however, the Game of the Year for 2001 is Halo: Combat Evolved and the runner up is Grand Theft Auto III.
Even though there were four games that got close to the same number of votes, the discussion in the thread seemed to center around Halo and GTA 3 more. My personal favorite from the year was Final Fantasy X, but I can't deny the historical impact that the other 2 games had.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
