I'd have to agree that it'll be a year of strong contendors.  In my mind based on the meta of the previous game in the series the games most likely to be fighting for the majority of GotY awards barring unexpected dissapointment or delay would be:

LBP 2 (probably won't win because it's releasing early in the year but that didn't stop ME2 from doing well)

ME3

Uncharted 3

Zelda SS

Bioshock Infinite (if I don't count Bioshock 2 which I honestly feel is a fair thing to do)

 

and then the games likely to win a few but not many based again on the meta of the last game would be: GeoW3, The Last Guardian (if it even releases in 2011 in the states), Portal 2, Forza 4, Killzone 3, and I'm sure there are a number I'm missing from both this list and the former.

Overall just a ton of competition. 


Bioshock infinite is scheduled for 2012 

you forgot Skyrim, LA noire, RAGE, Batman: Arkham City, Witcher 2 and Portal 2 all of which are all contenders IMO

oh and Modernwarfare 3 those annual CoD games always seem to get nominated and if Diablo 3 comes out next year I could see it getting some GOTY awards

oh yeah?  that's a dissapointment.

I didn't want to put in LA Noire or RAGE since they aren't part of a series so it's harder to tell how they'll end up with no specific history to base it off of, but I guess I could base it off the last game by those developers.  You're correct though I forgot Skyrim which should be in the first list and Batman AC, and Withcer 2 which should probably go in the seconds list.

There is 

Infamous 2

Killzone 3 

Little Big Planet 2 

Uncharted 3 

Competing against each other :D

It's personal preference really...if you are a fan of Twisted Metal THAT will be your GOTY

for me I have little doubt it will be Uncharted 3...LBP2 will come close

Yeah, there's just too many great games coming out in 2011 for the PS3.  We're all going to go broke trying to buy all of those great PS3 exclusives *shakes fist*  Curse you, Sony for making us have to buy so many great games!

 

 

 

 

But, don't a lot of great games come out every year?  Just pick the best one and go from there.  It won't be that hard to choose Uncharted 3 or Gears of War 3.



MrT-Tar on 27 December 2010

Well I think my GotY will be either Zelda SS, TLS, TLG, Inazuma 11 or Marvel vs Capcom 3

Wow I really hope you don't get to review Skyrim. It's telling that you forgot perhaps the biggest favorite to win GOTY 2011. (I hope Kantor doesn't get to review it either. )

Skyrim is the biggest favorite together with Mass Effect 3 and Uncharted 3.



Kantor on 27 December 2010

No it won't, because The Last Guardian will win everything.

Literally everything. It will win when it isn't even nominated.

If you think I have a negative view of Oblivion, ask anyone else on the review team. I positively adore the game compared to, say, Naz.
