(just tell me about problems/edits)
Game of the Year Awards [PREDICTIONS]
List is way too long... Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, and Modern Warfare 2 all have their places on that list.
I don't think this is too early, it's no fun guessing if we actually know what games are good.
Best Fighting Game: Street Fighter IV by miles
Best Rhythm Game: Dunno, didn't play a single one all year
Best Puzzle Game: Trine
Best Action Adventure Game: Uncharted 2, based on early previews and reviews, it'll sweep most of em.
Best Platformer: Shadow Complex
Best RPG: Demon's Souls, maybe Dragon Age if Demon's Souls doesn't get the attention simply because it exists and is Bioware, not because Dragon Age will be good
Best Strategy Game: bleh
Best Driving Game: Forza 3 on every site
Best Shooter: Modern Warfare 2, maybe you'll see Killzone 2 peek up on a few
Best Graphics: Uncharted 2 on every site
Best Soundtrack: Brutal Legend on most sites

Most Suprisingly Good Game: Demon's Souls on a bunch maybe?
Most Artistic Game: Trine?

" @Brunchies: but we already know Q4! "So is this the "Game of Q4 Awards" instead? The predictions should either have all games we could play or no games we could play. It seems weird including several games we're unsure will be good with ones we have already played.
Beatles Rock Band is sort of an obvious shoo-in for Best Rhythm Game, if only because it's the classier choice, what with Guitar Hero's Kurt Cobain controversy and all.
From the looks of it, though, Uncharted 2 is going to snag Game of the Year. I don't think there's any real competition for it.

I don't know, I can't even remember if it's gotten pushed to next year. But that looks like it might be up there too.

These are the ones I have right now. I haven't played that many games this year as of right now(that will change this month). I'll fill it out completely as time goes on.

what about the saboteur? It looks fucking amazing, and I dont think bad accents make or break games.
what about the saboteur? It looks fucking amazing, and I dont think bad accents make or break games.I'm pretty iffy on Saboteur. I enjoyed Mercs 2 for a while but it really was a mess in a lot of ways, and that's being made by the same people. I've heard in some previews that the game was not in great shape.
As far as it goes though there's been a lot of good games this year, but few really standout titles, so my list is kind of dominated by a few. Obviously I haven't played stuff like MW2 yet either.

On all of the one's I put MW2 for they should probably be U2 but won't be.
I don't think I'm going to fill one of those out, but I do know I'll have a lot of downloadable games on my GOTY list.
Contenders:
Tim Schafer response to Activision suing Double FIne Inc., over the publishing rights of Brutal Legend:
"Hey, if Activision liked it, then they should have put a ring on it...Oh great, now Beyoncé is going to sue me too."
EA's response to Activision suing them over the publishing rights of Brutal Legend:
"We doubt that Activision would try to sue. That would be like a husband abandoning his family and then suing after his wife meets a better looking guy."
David Cage's remark about PR people:
"Never let the marketing guy have a creative idea"
Activision's CEO, Bobby Kotick, threat to Sony:
"If we are being realistic, we might have to stop supporting Sony...When we look at 2010 and 2011,"
Sony's CEO, Howard Stringer's response:
"He likes to make a lot of noise,"
The 4 games that have a shot at GOTY for me are: Infamous, Uncharted 2, Brutal Legend, and Assassin's Creed 2
inFamous - Best Superhero Game not based on a license
Batman: Arkham Asylum - Best Superhero Game based on a license
Red Faction Guerrilla - Best Explosions/Destructions
Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II - Best RTS/Strategy (Empire Total War: Honorable Mention)
Valkyria Chronicles - Game that should have gotten more recongintion in 2008
Yakuza 3 - Most Disappointing Non-Release in the U.S.
Borderlands - Best New Melding of 2 Genres
Monkey Island - Best Adventure Game Revival.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona - Best PSP
I was trying to think of things that were released earlier or were a bit more obscure in their awards.
best graphics is gonna be a fucking madhouse on forums across the webs. Killzone 2 versus Uncharted 2 OH SHIT!
this is definitely a year for sony to shine once again in the awards category. the swept it up with MGS4 last year. This year they'll sweep it up with Uncharted 2.

I hope Uncharted 2 gets some big nods this year. It sure seems to be the game that has had the most love and care put into fit or the year.
I cut down the list because i couldn't care less about the other stuff.
