    Seeing how many sequels on the list, they really should put up best new/stand alone IP as a category.
    And wasn't there best adaptation category for adaptation from other media (big screen/novel/comic books)?

    It'll be easy to decide what to vote on for certain categories, like: best fps or best rpg, but It'll be hard to decide to vote on the GOTY.

    My favorite of the year was Uncharted 2, the hard work put into that title should be recognized. My game addiction this year was Plants vs Zombies, it's very well done, something new and unbelievably addicting. I'd put L4D2 up for best co-op/shooter. I can actually throw a Wii game in the mix as well.. the new Punch Out was one of the most fun games of the year, except for those who don't take well to Good old fashion Fun.

    @thecoffeeguy

    That is one of this year's best RPG's, Demon's Souls. It's quite challenging, but addicting.

    AC should win...i thought MW 2 would win, but then i stopped playing it and put in AC 2..the game is one of the best of all time

    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
    and
    Assassin's Creed II
    For the win.

    AC II definitely deserves the top notch!

    It's pretty funny actually. Almost all the good games are the second sequel to the original Modern Warfare(2) Uncharted(2) Assassin's Creed (2) Left4Dead(2) Rolando (2): Quest for the Golden Orchid Dirt (2)
    Killzone(2) Ninja Gaiden Sigma (2)
