Eh, (Blog Post) is so overrated. The writing sucks, there's graphical overload EVERYWHERE, and I feel like this game SHOULD HAVE been delayed 'til 2010.

I often find it hard to give major awards to fighting games (much like its hard for the academy to give serious awards to action movies). 
Thats not to say it isn't deserving, because it is certainly one of the best fighters in years, but I still think there are better games out there

WTF?  
Really, I almost had to pause the game at one point cause it got so freaking amazing I was just like "Whoa" "OMFG" "No way". lol
The train part and the car chase is crazy. 
 
Just wondering how much of it have you played.  
I understand people like different games but to me the game is really good on so many different levels. 
I guess it's just not for you.

Man...this is why game of the year crap is all about fanboyism and epic failing.
 
the VGA announce their picks and people are already flinging mud around like it's nobodies business, myself included. Now everyone has an opinion on the game of the year already, and all of them are wrong, or right, in some way.  A lot of good games, a lot of decent games that are hyped to be good, like Modern Warfare 2 or Street Fighter IV, and a bunch of games that got little press but are pretty kick ass, like Demon Souls and Scribblenauts.

@LinksOcarina: This year was full of great games, at least for people who can appreciate more than one or two genres. 
 
Look, fighters can be GotY, if you are dedicated to the game. Also @JJOR64: makes a good point: it was my most played game this year. 
 
It was addictive and incredible.

The year is filled with great games, but these lists are still arbitrary and pointless because of the diverse palette of video games as it is. Nothing wrong with Street Fighter IV, it's a good game that I play. But it is not game of the year. Same goes for what I mentioned, although I might like them I would not consider either as game of the year. Point being though is that it can be anything, and that is why stuff like this fails.

I absolutely agree with you OP. In years time MW2, Uncharted 2 and likely Batman will all lose quality. Street Fighter will not.

1.Uncharted 2

3.Resident Evil 5 (did everybody forget this came out this year??) 
4.Left 4 Dead 2 
5.MW2 
 
and i haven't played Assassins Creed 2 yet, or Batman, which I plan to do both before years end, so this is kind of a so far list.. and i wouldn't be suprised if both of those overtook the 4 and 5 on my current list.

Street Fighter IV?  Really?  Out of all of the games?  Well to each their own I suppose.  My vote goes to Uncharted 2.  Never before has a single-player experience kept me on the edge of my seat the way that Uncharted 2 has.  They really improved the story-telling elements of video games with that title.  Close runner-ups would be MW2, Demon's Souls, Torchlight and Dragon Age: Origins.  Also, this is not a complete list of games that I have played this year and think are worthy of notice.

if it was delayed until 2010, we wouldn't of seen the great custom maps that game had, now would we?  
rumors were that the developers wanted to delay the game to take out the map editor. 
beside that, it was over rated but it had a kick ass soundtrack, you have to admit.

As much as fun as I had with Street Fighter IV this year, it is not my number one choice for game of the year.

Yea, I could barely get (Blog post) running before it just hung on the title screen. I heard that the developer's offering rebates for customers whose machines crashed at its hands. I knew I should've spent that $60 on Assassin's Creed III.

Why do people keep saying inFamous? Didn't that come out last year?
 
And, yes, the correct answer is Uncharted 2.

It's obviously either Assassin's Creed II, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, or Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Does anyone get the sneaking suspicion that this year's GB Game of the Year bombcast is going to be a back and forth between MW2 and Uncharted 2 ? They seem to be the standout games this year, even though I think inFamous and Batman AA are being criminally overlooked by most people.
