Game of the Year

The Game of the Year is the final award, the final category, and the final reckoning for the absolute best of the best of 2009. Like in previous years, this category has an expanded list of finalists. GameSpot has nominated not five, but 10 of the best games on all platforms for the year's top 10 list, and considering the year's abundance of amazing games, simply making the cut as a finalist should absolutely be considered an honor in itself. Here are the top 10 games of the year. But remember...there can be only one.

    Assassin's Creed 2 or Uncharted 2!!! I don't know why Ratchet and Clank is in for GOTY, it's not a bad game but it doesn't stand a chance against any of the other games.

    it's just dragon age vs uncharted 2

    Both deserve GOTY even if a little overrated(my own insignificant opinion heh)

    If Resident Evil 5 wins anything, we should quit buying games.

    borderlands should be here
    MW2 should be here (might not be GOTY but still)
    why is the ratchet and clank here?
    and I think dragon age or AC2 will win.

    To me it looks like a free-for-all fist fight between Uncharted 2, Batman, Assassin's Creed 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. All great games, most multi-platform, and all of them deserve GOTY if I had it my way. But there can only be one.....

    "7 of the nomines are on PS3... and 4 are PS3 exclusives!"

    Demons Souls - definitely not GOTY. its just not.
    Killzone 2 - Definitely not GOTY good game though
    Ratchet and Clank - SERIOUSLY? why is this even eligible?
    Uncharted - DEFINITELY GOTY. however if it were multi platform would we still think of it so highly? if uncharted were multiplatform i think batman would take goty. batman is just solid on every level.

    I love how ratchet and clank is up for GOTY but not best PS3 game, also, I'd love to see them chose Forza as the winner, completely randomly

    @Brawll

    Yes, and calling names at anonymous people on an internet forum is what all mature, well-adjusted people who DON'T live in mom's basement do, right?
