So it's getting close the Q4 and Gears of War 3 kicked it off. I'm usually pretty good at guessing what the game of the year is going to be. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong and normally it always just my best guess but it's fun to do. I have been guessing since 2005, I figure I would give you my past guess honestly and then conclude with what I think it will be this year so let's get started.

2005-The contenders for this year were all really good especially for me I had a hard time choosing. The choices were God of War, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty 2, Resident Evil 4, and FEAR.

I couldn't decide between God of War and Resident Evil 4. I ultimately sided with God of War and I was wrong the winner was Resident Evil 4 I was close but awell maybe I would get it next year.

2006-Ahhhh the year the 360 came out I was working part time at gamestop selling games and getting into the world of games on whole new level. The contenders were Okami, Gears of War, Guitar Hero, and Oblivion.

I guessed it would of been Oblivion. It was such a monster of game and I freaking loved it. A little side note I have 1000 achievement points in that game. I never played any of the expansions. I was correct this year and it indeed was Oblivion I was right. W00T!!

2007-In my personal opinion this would be my number one choice of best years in gaming. I had become a manger at gamestop and I even worked a lot of midnight openings for theses contenders.The choices were The orange box, Bioshock, Halo 3, andMass Effect.

For whatever reason I was telling people at the store who were buying Bioshock that it was going to be the game of the year. To add this game came out at the end of August and the other games were notout yet. Well guess what I was right this year and I think to this date that was my best guess yet.

2008-This was my last year at Gamestop I learned that there polices were awful and they ripped off customers left and right and for numours other reasonsI had to quit. Any who the choices were Gears of War 2, LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Metal Gear Solid 4.

I have an old blog still on this site when GTAIV came out saying that this was my choice but in the same blog I said it was way to early to make that kind of choice and that I would wait until Q4 to guess. Well when it was time for Q4 I decidedto stick with my guns on this choice and I really truly would be wrong but I was right again. I did a little happy dance. :D

2009-The choice for this year was easy for me cause I had only played one of these games, Yes I know it's pretty sad. The choice were. Batman, Uncharted II, Assassin's Creed II, and Modern Warfare II.

So I went with what I played and that was Uncharted II. I do own Modern Warfare II and Assassins Creed II but I hadn't played them. Well I was right again, could I keep this winning streak alive and for how long could I keep going.

2010-The choice's this year were amazing like every year they were Halo Reach, Black ops, Mass Effect 2, God of War III and Red Dead Redemption.

Well after putting my faith in God of War 2 I decide I would not pick God of War III. I was on the fence for a super long time between RDR and Mass Effect 2. At first I was like RDR then changed it to Mass Effect 2 and even while I was watching the show I still couldn't decide. My boyfriend sided with RDR so I went with Mass Effect 2 at the very last minute at leas one of was would be right I thought to myself. The winner was Red Dead Redemption. I was wrong. My streak had come to end. :(

2011-Well it's 2011 now and a lot of great and wonderful games are on the horizon. Since there are no nominees announced yet I will be guessing what the choice will be and who will win. Now remember these are my personal choices and are based on nothing but what I know about the games. I have not played any of them. My choices are Uncharted 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, and Gears of War 3. (I know I choice 6, See if you guys to do any better narrowing down this list. It's probably all wrong. But the winner is what I'm really trying to get at.

Here are some honorable mention. I would of sooo put Xenoblade in there but there haven't been any JRPG's nominated in like forever so I didn't put it there

Portal 2 was an amazing game but I don't think it has the appeal of the first one to make it on my list.

Batman I think is a great choice to be up there but i ultimately stuck in this category of honorable mention.

There are many great games that came out and are going to be coming out this year and when the nominees are finally selected I may change the winner but I think I have a solid choice and my choice is going to be Skyrim.

Come on 11/11/11 I want to play you so bad.

Well that's all I hope this was a little entertaining, and I would love to hear everyone else thought of who they think should win. I know it's hard since most of the games haven't come out yet. But hey this is just for fun. Have a great day.
