The list of games coming out that are serious competitors for the GOTY in 2011:
- GeOW3
- Uncharted 3
- LBP 2
- Mass Effect 3
- SKYRIM!!!!
- Skyward Sword
These games are all sequels of games that have won many game of the year awards. I don't think that there will be a clear GOTY next year.
And many other games like TLG, portal 2, a new L4D, Arkham City etc.
Should be really, REALLY close this year.
