i know i already posted this but i got complaints for not putting enough options, so if you admins are going to delete one delete the other. i think i got most the major games. ps, i picked mass effect
I said Red Steel 2, but I've only played that and Bad Company 2, and Red Steel 2 was overall better in my opinion, mainly because of how goddamn innovative it was.
Mass Effect 2 could have been GOTY if it had settled upon a genre and not made itself so fucking "accessible"...Red Dead is good, but I feel like I've played it before...and BFBC2 had a lackluster singleplayer with great multiplayer as long as you didn't get put onto that desert map against 2 god pilots. All in all, I don't feel comfortable giving a vote to any game.
I haven't played too many on the list (still working on 2009!), but Mass Effect 2 is my top pick so far. I hope to be able to answer this question more definitely by the end of the year. Of course, by then I'll have trouble getting to all the holiday 2010 games which I'll put off until 2011 and the cycle continues.

feel free to back up that statement anytime. "
I'll be completely honest with you: the first few hours of that game were incredible. And then the monotony set in. The combat didn't improve. Mission structure became repetitive. It just seems to me that all Mass Effect really did well was create a setting and a universe. The gameplay was extremely plodding. It's pretty much the same reason why I hated GTAIV: everything was great except the one thing that mattered the most in a video game, and that was the damn gameplay. If a game can't be a competent, well, game, then it fails to be anything close to game of the year if you ask me. But that's just me, different strokes of different folks, right?
On another note, I chose Alan Wake. The game had extremely solid gameplay and combined with it's presentation (graphics, setting, atmosphere, story etc.) it really was just the best game I've played this year but one of the best I've played in a very long time.
