Well I played Pokemon Heartgold for over 300 hours this year, so if I had to pick one, it'd be that, even if there isn't a single person on this site that would agree with me. But I agree with you that comparing two things as different as Pokemon and Red Dead Redemption would be pretty dumb.
There is no game of the year.
Good call on Super Mario Galaxy 2 as a forgettable game. Whenever someone mentions GOTY, other games come to mind instead, but SMG2 definitely one of the year's best and makes a strong contender. I think maybe it's because it came out so early in the year. Until a month or so ago, I think a lot of people even kind of forgot about Mass Effect 2 as well, and now it looks like it could end up winning top honors all over the place.
GOTY awards are for people to pick their favourite game from the past 12 months. I don't see it as an official thing, it's all opinions.
Saying that, it's obviously Minecraft.
hows this different than any other year? almost every year theres an abundance of great games from all genres..
you just pick the GOTY based on the game you enjoyed the most. the game you'd choose if you were told you could only play ONE GAME in said year
its RDR for me. i'd give everything away to play a Rockstar Games game.. sure ME2 was fucking epic, Bad Company 2 shat all over other multiplayer games, Just Cause 2 literally blew my mind with it's explosions and SMB raped me and i enjoyed it, yet Red Dead Redemption pwned them all!
