Super mario galaxy 2 or Metroid other m deserves the awards.

They're not even out yet, how can you say that?

neither is halo reach is it?

No it's not, but then I'm not saying it deserves the award, I'm just saying which I think will get it. BIG difference.

Ahh now I get you.  But I think super mario galaxy 2 will probably not be winning any awards exept in the wii game of the year.  If it's a tad better than the original then I think it has a good chance at it.

Well why come in here with who you'd like to win rather than who you think will win? yeah we get it, you adore Nintendo.

Well, that's why I replied and commented on your listed games specifically. Because I strongly believe GOTY can be nailed down to a handful of titles even at this early point.

Well, we dont know much about Fable III yet and maybe a miracle happens and Molyneuz fulfills all his promises for once lol.

Anyway, lets pick God of War 3, SplinterCell, Bioshock 2 and ME 2. While Im confident they're gonna get 93-95% on Meta, they won't get GOTY simply because they're too niched, won't get enough sales and are released too early in the year.

Final Fantasy is already far too criticised even before release to have even a remote chance.

Metroid M... even that Malstrom guy hates the idea lol.

Heavy Rain - a 1 million selling interactive movie xclusive on PS3 getting GOTY? No.

You do realize that Fahrenheit (which Heavy Rain is a spiritual successor to) got a metascore of 83, and Heavy Rain looks to fix the complaints of the first game, right?

Heavy Rain will be a contender for the title like many other games this year, trust me.

Trust me, it won't.

Not to bash Heavy Rain, because it's an original one-of-a-kind -game in these days, but there's so many factors that will hinder it from becoming GOTY. The most important being that it won't get 90% on Meta, having gameplay that is far too limited with it's QTE's and interactive cut-scenes. Other factors are comparatively low sales, niche genre and having an early year release.

Oh it will. Not on Spike, but I can understand your sentiment if you thought there was one "official" GoTY award. Every time we have this discussion, it's mostly about which game will win the most GoTY awards, and any game capable of winning just one of those awards are a real contender. That's my experience at least

Yeah I guess you are right, now that I'm aware that there's no official or main GOTY award. One big gaming site could potentially give Heavy Rain GOTY in the same spirit they gave it to Demon's Souls in 2009.

I reckon Mafia 2, Bioshock 2 or God of War 3 will get GOTY this year.

Heavy Rain, of course.

Is anybody going to mention Alan Wake, or are we all going to just pretend like it doesn't exist?



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

God of War 3!



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

Heavy Rain should be a strong contender...
I vote for Gran Turismo 5.

Bastards, stop pushing my Zelda and Last Guardian back to 2011! They'll make it.

They'll make it.


In all seriousness, I think the same-generation sequels have an uphill battle, in particular SMG2, Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Halo... We've already got an awesome installment from them, so they've already lost most of the "wow" factor, I think.

If I had to pick the most likely candidates (or the most-winning candidates), it'd be:

Starcraft II
The Last Guardian
Zelda Wii
God of War 3
