I'd be okay with Mark of the Ninja or Journey. I still haven't started Xcom.

I hope Guild Wars 2 wins, realistically, GW2 is rather likely to win, but Journey can take it as well.

Only 1 Japanese game out of the 10? Their influence is certainly fading

In the end, it won't matter who wins.

We'll all still end up hating the results.

After the PS3 had a rough year, it still has as many exclusives nominated as any other platform. Would love to see Journey win, one becasue it is a fantastic expirience, two, because it would make system wars pretty crazy after PS3 had its weakest year.

Same here, and I'm hoping for Dishonored to win, as I'm not a fan of MMOs. Still, if GW2 won, we'd probably have some amusing damage control! :P

You never struck me as the type of gamer that would be into Dishonored. I kind of wanna play it more than I already did now.

Mass Effect 3 will win it, game of the year awards are so predictable, it's just story of the year nowadays.

Predictable choices.

Well, aside from the lack of Far Cry 3. That's lame.

Anyway, my choice is Mass Effect 3.

lol, what do you mean?

It's a game that focuses on freedom of the player, letting them take the route they want, and it rewards the player for being clever.

Let's see how much damage control would happen if Halo 4 or Guild Wars 2 wins.

Also, lol at Journey, its not even a game, just like every other PS3 exclusive.

Halo 4 I could see, but GW2 does not deserve it. Just like SWTOR before it, which is much decried, it choked in the long run. It deserve a little more credit perhaps than SWTOR, but definitely not GOTY.

  • Guild Wars 2
  • Halo 4
  • Journey
  • Marl of The Ninja
  • Mass Effect 3
  • Spelunky
  • The Walking Dead
  • XCOM
  • Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

Really want an exclusive to win for some butthurts. Last 2 years were pretty boring, since they picked multiplats.

Thefatness16

Mark of the Ninja already lost to Dishonored in the best Action/Adventure. MotN is out.

Mass Effect 3 lost to Guild Wars 2 in the best RPG and PC game. ME3 is out.

Dishonored, The Walking Dead and XCOM lost to Guild Wars 2 in the best PC game. They are out.

Halo 4 lost to Dishonored in the best 360 game. Halo 4 is out.

We've left Guild Wars 2, Journey, Spelunky and Zero Escape. My money is on GW2, unless Gamespot wants to be artsy fartsy.

Halo 4 won't win GOTY, as it didn't even win the award for Best Xbox Game. Guild Wars 2 at least has a chance because it won Best PC Game and it's a game that has more than a niche appeal.

Oh hail indie games! Oh hail! As you can see, half of those games are nearly perfect, almost increadible. Those are indie games. I can't wait to spit on mainstream gamers salty faces when Journey wins goty.

They are going to be hipster and go for Journey I reckon. Game journalists forget that games are games, while being art, should not be reviewed as such, journey offers 4 hours of "niceness" ... that makes goty material? please.

You should add in caps "In my worthless opinion", because that's what it is. These journalist are finally understanding that mainstream crap and immorality by creating the same trash every year shouldn't be tolerated. Journey smells of innovation, everything else does not (except other indie games). Deal with it and cry a butt load salty tears for me.
