GOTY awards depends on the competition that year. So unless sites do a GOTG awards and Uncharted 2 wins (lol it wouldn't), then what you said is a sucky reason.

2009 had the biggest competition because Demon's Souls, one of the top 3 games of all time

Im probably going to get a lot of **** for this but .............. Call of Duty 4. It was a phenomenal game that for better or for worse transformed the FPS market.

Assassins Creed 2

Resident Evil 5

Borderlands

CoD MW2

Left 4 Dead 2

Batman : Arkham Asylum

Uncharted 2 had some tough competition, especially Batman , AC2, and MW2. So it winning GOTG isn't unlikely.

Prepare for the "If it was in year blah blah, it would've lost all the awards" comments.

So prepare for logic?

Some what. It makes sense, though with UC2 it still could've gotten most GOTY's.

Nah, you won't. People loved CoD irl and on SW alike (mostly). I still need to pick it up, maybe beat my own MW2's SP.

For me personally, it would have to be....a tie between MGS4 and Uncharted 2.

I forgot about that one! You are right, that's a real good choice. It may be a little watered down now, but that's the one game that started the COD craze, and it is still solid today!

Best game of the generation? Tales of Graces f, no contest. (That can change though, this generation isn't over yet.)

But what would be the game to DEFINE this generation of games? I'd say it's Call of Duty. It's pretty much the standard for EVERY DAMN SHOOTER on the market today. Every shooter tries to mimic Call of Duty. It sucks. Call of Duty is a pretty mediocre game to begin with. But casuals are easily amused by Call of Duty's overly-scripted campaigns because they have shiny graphics and some cinematic events. So the CoD formula sells well.

Fallout: New Vegas. Beat my second playthrough and am probably going to do a third soon. It really is an amazing game. Also has some of the best dlc ever made.

Honestly I can't name just one game of this generation

On the top of my head I could name a few that defined this generation

  • Mass Effect
  • Mass Effect 2
  • DA Origins
  • MGS4
  • Uncharted 2
  • Uncharted 3
  • Skyrim (pc version)
  • Batman AC
  • Batman AA
  • Starcraft 2
  • Crysis (I believe it would count as this gen if im not mistaken)
  • Red Dead Redemption

Looking at it from all angles, the only answer that completely satisfies that question in my humble opinion is Batman Arkham City. It does so many various things yet manages to do each of them with a higher level of quality than most games that focus on each individual aspect. It's truly this gen's masterpiece.

I go with Bioshock. It completely blew me away from the opening section to the awesome twist and beyond. I loved the plasmids, bees, spring vortexs, melting dat ice with the fire tonics, and turning the enemies on each other. :) And the traps you could set. And the best thing about it was just the immersion, it completely sucked me in. The sound design and graphics were amazing on release and the water effects gave incredible illusion that the rapture was crumbling around you. The only gripe was that it was too easy but it was such an amazing experience I dont really care bout that. Maybe Bioshock Infinite can top it? We will see :)

There was lots of other awesome contenders though like Shogun 2, Batman AC, Demons Souls and even the Darkness (for all its faults).

I would say it comds down to 3 games to me (that I've played)

-Batman: Arkham City

-Red Dead Redemption

-Uncharted 2

I am tempted to put Super Mario Galaxy among them as well.
