Mass Effect 2
RDR
AC2
were my top 3 of the year
Your GOTY so far.
Mass Effect 2, RDR, SSFIIV, Starcraft 2, Dead Rising 2, Blur, Alan Wake, Reach...sooo many games. Better get to work on my list and start thinning out the herd.
Splinter Cell Double Agent or Minecraft.
Also A Link to The Past, That game makes me giddy with happiness. Yes i said Giddy, but that is what zelda does to me.
It's damnably near split down the middle between ME2 and SC2... I haven't played RDR yet, either. Shit. And SMG2 and Kirby's Epic Yarn... this has been a hell of a year. Also Fallout New Vegas but I haven't played that yet either... SHIT!
Civ 5 I guess, but it kind of wins by default as there has not been anything I feel worthy of Game of the year. I guess for me it would be Civ 5 and Mass Effect 2, but ME2 only for the first play through of that game. I have tried many times to play it again and every time I try I like it exponentially less and less as I see so many things I dislike about the game every time I play it again.
Why ruin the suspense of my inevitable 2010 GOTY list? I'll tell you this, though: Crackdown 2 is not my choice for GOTY.
Just off the top of my dome I'm going with a lot of what others have said, it looks like. I very much enjoyed and would probably choose between Mass Effect 2, RDR or Reach (loving the multiplayer). I wish I could pick Civ 5, but that thing really needs a patch. Having a hard time remembering what came out earlier this year.
I'm hoping Fable 3 will be worthy of this list too.
Starcraft 2 over Civilization 5 only because SC 2's campaign was far more challenging than a game of civ 5 at "normal" levels.
As for game of the year that I think will be up there to compete, either Red Dead or Mass Effect 2 (PC only though since I like it more than the 360 version). If I could choose personally, it would have to be between those last two, and Alan Wake. Though I wouldn't mind Starcraft 2 getting some awards 'cause that's great also. I haven't played my Wii this year so... and I played Red Dead on PS3; though I'm sure it's not different between consoles. I want there to be goty for a game on an individual system. Mainly 'cause of Mass Effect 2 being so much better on PC to me.
I wish I had something more interesting to contribute, but ME2.
Heavy Rain is a very distant second.
" So from what you have seen so far what is your choice for game of the year? for me it would be: Limbo or Reach. EDIT: Ok from what we have seen so far we have. 1st. Mass Effect 2 (by alot) 2nd. Red Dead Redemption 3rd. Halo Reach 4th. Starcraft 2 "Similar to yours Mass Effect 2, Red dead, Reach. But I have yet to get Assassins Creed brotherhood and I have a feeling it could blow my socks off.
Limbo. I put more energy into that game, figuring out all of its secrets, and trying to master every nuance (i.e. complete the game w/o dying) than any other this year. I think that's significant considering the length of the game. I don't think I'll go back to it as often or with as much excitement as I do Braid, but I have a similar level of respect of and enjoyment with Limbo.
Special mention for Red Dead Redemption, though. That's the only GTAish game I've even considered liking since the original, and I like it a lot.
Bad Company 2 also deserves a mention, since it won me over from Modern Warfare 2 and kept me interested for a relatively long time.
I still need to play Starcraft 2, Mass Effect 2 (and 1, for that matter), and Civilization V, among others.
Me an the Mrs agree, Mass Effect 2 by a mile then followed by Civ 5 and then Red Dead although I hated the ending of that game with a passion.
Edit: My wife has said I have to add Mass Effect 1 as she played that more then Animal Crossing and to be fair that's quite a lot.
