I prefer gameradar's stance that no game with this many bugs can be game of the year.

I can dig it. Although I think Arkham City is a slight notch above it.

It don't deserve it with the way it was released.

(and not to mention that pic is a shot of the most ridiculous kill hit. Just picking a wolf up and hitting it........)

I would have went with Batman Arkham City instead.

The only people who think it was unplayable are cows and who cares about them? The main systems to play the game on are 360 and PC anyway. Mostly PC.

I laughed pretty hard at Portal 2 being the best game on PS3. Good for Skyrim though. Arkham City was great too.

I think it's unplayable...because it actually is at the moment for me anyway. I can't play the damn thing without a CTD.

Your a PC gamer? I have experienced exactly 1 CTD in 30 hours of gameplay. If your getting constant CTD's I think its a problem with your rig, not the game. Check your drivers and stuff.

Some of the special achievement choices are bizarre, and it really sucks that there's no write-up for the winners. Not even GOTY.

LOL, no surprise there. The game is simply an amazing achievement, despite what bugs there may be. As for myself, have not encountered a single issue in over 70 hours on the 360 version.

Did not know people actually played Alice, actually shocking.

I have to say though it does make me giggle though that a few people actually thought Dark Souls was gonna get goty over Skyrim :P.

Yeah, WTF?

My guess was Batman, but then Portal 2 won. The only great thing about Portal 2 on PS3 was that extra PC version.

Pretty much expected, listening to the Hotspot I can tell they were simply in love with it ... I personally would have chosen either Batman or LBP2 for GOTY. R3 for best shooter, Gears 3 is a fine choice however U3 is the better game Gears 3 was def a better "shooter". Umm other than that I have no real input on any of the other categories.

Really? Portal 2 takes a back seat to a lot of games this year for me. I enjoyed 3 hours of it before I began to get tiresome of the game and simply just wanted to reach the ending.

Because GS obviously thought Portal 2 was a better choice than an exclusive?

Not a surprise. Disappointed that Dark Souls won nothing, but still, I understand. The game was just not what Demon's Souls was.

I just noticed Dirt 3 won over FM4 ... I haven't played either but I've never been a fan of Dirt.
