I think I like Ryan's list the most. Granted I haven't seen Brad's list but I feel my taste in games are the least like Brad's. Also, full disclosure, I haven't played either RDR or AC:B but I have no doubt that I'll really like them. Now I really want to play them since they apparently have interesting endings (I love good endings) although AC:B's ending got spoiled a little in the Day 5 bombcast. 
 
People asking for RDR on Jeff's personal list clearly don't listen to the bombcast.

Yes, you really do. It's probably my second place for GotY.

Game was mad boring to me! "    
 thats cool, but i doubt many ppl woundnt have it their top ten at least..  it would be better if he would have at least played it and said if he liked it or not.  no way it will win GOTY for giantbomb.  lol they never even reviewed it.

I don't get all these complaints about Jeff's list. I probably don't need to repeat that opinions can't be right or wrong.
Red Dead Redemption, as great as it probably was (I haven't played it), wasn't on the list because Jeff didn't play it. That's it. He wasn't interested. Don't act like it's your own fucking child and should be winning everything.
Now, from all the top 10s so far, I probably agree with Jeff's list the most, it's a lot like mine (except those rhythm games i don't really play).
But then again, opinion is opinion. I think Red Dead was represented in the awards enough, and got Best Story and Best Ending, so there's no need to complain.
 
Also, this feels like I'm predicting the past or something, because it's already been recorded, but I hope Brad didn't sabotage GOTY by trying to make it Red Dead. It's probably 3 vs 1 on Mass Effect 2 vs RDR. (or 2 vs 1 if we can't let Jeff have an opinion, because he never played it). Brad should have been in the minority.
 
GOTY should be Mass Effect 2. Or it could always be Pac-Man Championship Edition DX ;D

I was surprised to see "Madden with guns" on Jeff's list and not Super Street IV, but great list!

I totally mashed my way through Bayonetta. I realise there were a lot of combos, but unless designers want to display them on screen like an extended QTE, there's no chance I'm going to learn them.

Jeff's GOTY reveal is the best late title card because as soon as I saw it I put both my fists in the air and yelled "YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!"

i just wish he played and finished Red dead.. and then if he hates it he hates it, but a game that big shouldnt be dismissed.  It funny they felt the same way about Batman last year until they played it.  its all good though, he's the one thats missing out.

Now I haven't listened to all of the podcasts, but I feel like Halo: Reach is getting a bit overlooked. It was definitely the best Halo game to date, a perfect combination of Halo 1's slower paced combat and Halo 2's production values.

Good to see that this website is more appreciative of Mass Effect 2 than that *other* gaming website.

That was a funky beat that dropped for Mass Effect 2.  Good list, Jeff.

" Call of Duty: Black *ocks should'nt even be in that list or any other. The single-player is very short, the story is bad as the voice acting itself. People only buy that game because of the multiplayer and still, it's a complete rip-off of MW2... "

oh yeah, because mw2 was sooo original ;-) ( im adding the smiley to express irony)

Watching this now, it's funny to think that at the time Giant Bomb was its own ahead-of-its-time rogue thing that split from Gamespot, but now this looks closer to Gamespot than it does to current day Giant Bomb's full ownership of their "unprofessional" vibe. Granted this was only 2-3 years after the start of the site but still, I love it, love what the site's become, and I hope the Bombcrew are enjoying it too
