    15 days, huh? This is probably to make room for some of the titles that are coming out in December, especially Final Fantasy XIII and some others.

    This year was not the greatest. But games like uncharted 2,mw2,dragon age,street fighter ,forza and fifa 09 made it quite good.

    GOTY = Uncharted 2

    I will throw a fit if Modern Warfare 2 gets GOTY. Uncharted 2 deserves it.

    Hi im a 360 and i played uncharted 2's single player yesterday...It.Was.INCREDIBLE. Deserves GOTY methinks. Assassins Creed 2 was great and i definitely enjoyed the sequel but was still a lil disappointed by how easy it was and it gave its fans another "cliff-hanger" ending. Does anyone remember Shadow Complex? If there is an arcade category, Shadow Complex will clean up he competition.

    mw2 deserves no real credit for GOTY. There were so many better titles that were so much more fun!

    @21Naruto: I don't even own a PS3 and havent even ended it yet. But the few levels I played had my face on the floor!! Uncharted 2 for sure. I love my Xbox 360 but that game has got it hands down!

    @silverdoe: AC2 is also for 360 unless you're talking about a game just for the 360

    @Einhanderkiller: I agree with you, I love MW2 but I don't wanna see it win this year.

    @ErrolJames: inFamous i alomost forgot about lol.


    Honestly though I see it like this:
    Best of the Year: Assassin's Creed 2
    BOTY(Readers Choice): Either Dragon Age or MW2
    GOTY: Uncharted 2:Among Theives

    Modern warfare 2 shouldn't win GOTY but it should get some awards
    Dragon Age Origins should get best RPG
    can't really remember what came out at the beginning of the year but these two games should be GOTY nominees

    Not sure if it's game of the year, but inFamous should get an award for something

    The game of the year has to be Uncharted: Among Thieves. It was just nuts. Like a movie.

    @DuncanM908: They put that Bionic Commando in there right as he was saying the most disappointing game of the year. So they agree with you.

    Dragon Age : Origins should win imo. Close competition from Assassin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2 though.

    I can't believe they put Bionic Commando in this video. That game sucked!
