Red Dead Redemption is coming out. That'll be a GOTY contender.

I'll probably watch this game on youtube or justin.tv, because I like it's mood, but I won't spend ~250€ to be able to play it, especially because I don't even like gunplay that much.

So, GOTY is in Mass Effect 2 hand until now. But i think the real dispute will be between SMG2 and GT5.

What no GoW3 ;_;?

Naw I know what you mean, truthfully ME2 probably has a bigger chance of GOTY over GoW3.

SMG2 and GT5, Agree but ill also add Halo Reach (Hellooo its Halooo lol).

Oh yeah. Halo : Reach, Read Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham Asylum 2 too. Gow 3 is a very good game, it will win on some sites, but overall i think it will not surpass ME2. But, at least for me, i enjoyed ME2 so much on my first playthrough, but on second time i started to feel a little bit of disapointment. GOW 3, on the contrary, attracts me to play it more and more and more...

I still can't wait to get my hands on it.

GTA IV scored 98 on meta and I did not like the game that much... so? I actually had more fun playing Ninja Blade than GTA.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Hmm, I don't know about this. I love both of these games about equally but for very different reasons. There are many areas where GOW3 destroys ME2 and any other game for that matter. It is just that astounding. I guess if I had to give an edge it would be to ME2 but it is almost too close to call.

People will forget GOW III and ME2 at the end of the year when they are still playing awesome games that released the last months September - December.

Anyway I did not expect a 83 score on metacritic for Alan Wake....

Good reviews, though not enough for me to get it day 1. Red Dead Redemption and exams means I am too busy for the game, but now I will certainly get it in late June

The game got good reviews folks. It just won't even be mentioned in GOTY or graphic king terms.

Vandal Online gave it a 9/10 and is counted on Metacritic.

http://www.vandal.net/analisis/x360/alan-wake/4659

Lovers of horror in video games are in luck: Alan Wake is a game with doses of action, research, tension, and terror all very well made, always check the times, and taking the player's hand without it being aware of these tricks narrative. Get further away from the B-series dyes other proposals, but without being an eccentricity in the genre. Its duration is good, but certainly not her forte, arrive at least two downloadable chapters, which will alleviate this to those who have access to them. In any case, Alan Wake is a fun gaming experience, and an engaging story, all under the cloak of a sweet nothing terrifying nights.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
