There will be great games coming up.

Mass Effect 2 is the GOTY for 2010. You can bank on that.

lol, going off of IGN, Gamespot, Joystick, 1up, destructoid, and hell Hiphopgamer and pretty much EVERY SINGLE preview site and review site whos touched it, GOW3 will be the GOTY of 2010. It will get a 10 here and at IGN, and people are going to ***** and moan about how its overrated, just like they do with GTA4 and MGS4. BTW, before you flame me for including hiphopgamer lemmings, calling him biased and what not, hes played and beaten the whole game, and saw the final build before any of us did, so he is a thousand times more credible than you are.

The fact that Mass Effect was one of the first games to get an AAA scorethis yearmeans nothing. Bioshock 2 and Final Fantasy are out of the race but recently we just got BFBC2-one of the best online console shooters ever, and right around the corner is GOW 3 followed by Red Dead Redemption along with other games like LA Noir, Max Payne, Halo Reach, Modnation Racers (That kids, is what you call an underdog) and possibly the Last Guardian. If you ask me, Mass Effect 2 will be long forgotten come December and if it does manage to win, then all I can say is that 2010 was a pretty crappy year.

You are totally right, Bayonetta came out in January, so GOTY was decided as soon as it began.

Tough call. I think Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction will actually challenge ME2 for 360 game of the year, much less overall game of the year. In particular, Conviction looks really deep -- the usual engrossing single-player campaign + a separate co-op mode and multiplayer. I think SC: C is unheralded now, but could end up being GOTY or at least 360 GOTY. On the PS3 side, don't underestimate GOWIII.

lol So far Bayonetta is my personal GOTY but unfortunately I don't think anywhere is actually going to award it GOTY. I would love it if it did get it though.

Strong contender for GOTY, but 2010 still has much to offer.

aroxx_ab

I don't care that Heavy Rain got an 8.5 on Gamespot I thought the game was absolutely amazing from start to finish.
It's a game I have been anticipating for years, and it was my most anticipated game of 2010... So you can expect I had high expectations for it, right? Well I can proudly say Heavy Rain exceeded my expectations in pretty much every way. I think it will definitely stand out as one of my favorite games of 2010. If it came out in 2009, it definitely would have been either Heavy Rain or Demon's Souls as my personal GOTY. That's how much I liked it.

GOW3, TLG, Other M, New Zelda and Starcraft II have better chances. ME2 came too early.

I wish Bayonetta could be a goty contender but GOW3 may knock it out just with epicness. Even if Bayonetta has the better combat system.

Mass Effect 2 has a big chance, especially by giving out free dlc every month with the cerberus network and massive replay value. Gow 3, you can just play it once. It will always be the same.

I agree. I was blown away by Heavy Rain. Although im not sure if it will win GotY here, it sure was an amazing game.

I think the true contenders for GotY are

Mass Effect 2

GoW 3

Zelda Wii (if it comes out)

I would say Mario Galaxies 2 but I have a feeling it won't charm everyone the same way the first one did.

Wouldn't be surprised if Heavy Rain does get awarded with GOTY since GS seems to favour underdogs.

If the year ended right now, ME2 would win GOTY for sure. The only thing standing in its way at the moment would be Bayonetta.

I don't care for SC, but it's still good. I found SC to be very boring, and that's when I bought it 7 years ago. I do think that the SC popularity has the Megan Foxx effect where one dude says it is teh b3st th1ng evar and if you disagree you r fa1l so the next guy ignorantly agrees. Ofcourse this mostly applies to new kids that didn't play it in the late 90s/early 2000s.

meh i still dont think bout GOTY till November at least.My personal GOTY so far has been BFBC2 after playing it at a mates house and skiving college cause our lecturer didnt appear.
