GOTY is now between Skyrim and Arkham City

all of the major games this year have been released, and out of all of them two stand head above the rest. here's why:Gears of War 3 - won't win because GeoW 1 already awarded GOTY in 2006Dark Souls - say what you will, but i consider this a sequel to Demon's Souls. Uncharted 3 - Uncharted 2 was a superior game with a higher score; it makes no sense to give UC3 GOTYPortal 2 - though the game is excellent, i don't see it winning on gamespot just because it wasn't nearly as good as Portal 1 and the co-op felt tacked-on; it wasn't nearly as big of a splash as the first gameThe Witcher 2 - Skyrim has this game knocked down as RPG of the yearAC Revelations - 8.0'd and a simple retread of the AC series. great game, but it's not GOTY materialBattlefield 3/Modern Warfare 3 - i doubt any of the shooters will be serious contenders. their collective hype and rabid fanbases have made their games a shell of what was promisedSkyward Sword - lolSkyrim and Arkham City are just the two games this year that stand head and shoulders above the rest. they've swept the gaming world by storm with massive hype and enormous critical and commercial success. with both games averaging a 96 on metacritic, i think we have a very close competition ahead of us

No.

You base your opinion of Skyward sword on an incorrect review, whereas every other website is giving it 9.5's and 10's. Though your right, Gamespot won't give it GOTY. It will be GOTY in other places though, its a great game.

Dark Souls brought a lot of innovation to the Souls series, much more then Skyrim did. Its most deserving of the reward, the gameplay was orgasmic xD

The Witcher 2 was a better RPG then Skyrim.

Uncharted 3 your right, Uncharted 2 was better.

I would say Dark Souls deserves to win, but it won't. Its too hard for most people, so its appeal isn't wide enough to be called GOTY. Arkham City deserves it too, but I know for a fact Skyrim will be the GOTY. Its a messy and overrated game, but whatever. To each their own I guess.
