I think it's funny how nobody at spike has played Halo 4 yet...

Journey is my pick.

Unbelievable good game.

I expect it to won this year.

halo should win best graphics and crysis next year

Next year has yet to start. No doubt Crysis 3 will look best on PC, and probably better than anything before it, but with new consoles next year, titles like 3EYOND, The Last Of Us, God of War: Ascension and Watch Dogs, nothing is certain right now.

crysis 3 will be best looking on console and pc

Yeap like Crysis 2 looked better on console and pc too.

The nominees for Game of the Year is not as great as last year in my opinion. In addition, I wonder what the impact might be to the game industry if Journey wins. Surely an indie game winning could say something about the industry. In the end, my vote goes to Mass Effect.

I would have had Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Torchlight 2, X-Com and Forza Horizon as nominees also. AC3 was decent and Walking Dead is an interesting/compelling experience, but I don't think either of those should be nominated.

You're going to be disappointed mate. Its amazing that its nominated. But to go against Mass Effect 3, Dishonored and AC3 is... just hard for a game of such little content, despite it being AMAZING. The world isnt ready for a game like this to be GOTY infront of thousands of people xD

To me, there is no definite winner. When you could think Mass Effect is an obvious winner, you have people who hated the ending. Dishonored is too new of an IP to generally get the win. Assassin's Creed 3 had a lot of bugs off the bat. Journey is a downloadable game that apparently doesn't have much content according to you (I haven't played it so I'm going by what you are saying...) and The Walking Dead is episodic, which is odd to think of it as a full game as of this second....To top it off, this isn't picked by the fans. So it's anybody's game really.

True, but Dishonored being a new IP is anything BUT bad. Infact I think it'll help it if anything. Bioshock was the big 2007 winner and that was a new IP ;)

This is true. I just couldn't think of anything bad to say about Dishonored. :p I actually "voted" for it since Borderlands 2 wasn't on the shortlist.

Its not really my type of game, but with what you mentioned: I wouldnt be shocked if it actually won xP.

But I still believe in ME3 because of the critics. The reviews are just too high for that game regardless of what fans thought of the ending and it really made a strong impression, wether it was because the game was good or people raged is irrelevant :P.

Well AC is the most boring franchise I have played in my life (I played two games and got 100%)...  Mass Effect 3 maybe but I think the first is better... Dishonored I didn't played.

For me Journey is a really great option for GOTY because it is either AMAZING and UNIQUE... the feeling you have at the end of the game is unbeatable.

I loved Borderlands 2 but it's not in the list.
