People often throw around how many GOTY awards certain games have from different publications. The vast majority of the time I dissagree, but whatever. I'm just wondering what you think has the highest chance for taking home the most GOTY awards across multiple sites.I know it doesn't matter when you have your own opinion, but still.

for reference, these are th top 10 review averages of 2011 so far

1: Batman Arkham City (96.4)

2: Portal 2 (95.31)

3: TLOZ: Ocarina of Time 3D (93.99)

4: Xenoblade Chronicles (93.52)

5: LittleBigPlanet 2 (92.34)

6: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (92.15)

7: Gears of War 3 (91.95)

8: ICO Collection (91.67)

9: Fortza 4 (91.56)

10: Fifa Soccer 12 (90.97)

I have a feeling there will not be a clear cut winner this year like in 2009 (Uncharted 2 took most)

Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D won't get it. The game had its glory back in '98. I think Skyward Sword will end up with the most GOTYs.

I agree... there's no way any remake or HD collection will get awards so we can exclude those right away

The peoples game will be Uncharted 3, Deus Ex: HR, Gears Of War 3 and Skyrim.
Also, people will be playing lot of Modern Warfare 3 too.

Every note has to be hit, it can't just be your personal favourite.

Some games have taken GOTY title before, ie Zelda, Gears of War, Uncharted 2.. etc.

I think Skyrim will sweep most major awards, in part due to its quality and in part due to its tremendous and certain success. Perhpas Skyward Sword will also take some home if only due to the nastalgia assosciated with Zelda.

It'll be interesting to see who gets the nods because most reviewers are hesitant to give awards to sequels simply because they're "better." But every top AAA game this year is either a direct or spiritual sequel that borrows heavily from previous installments, so I dunno. My top 3 at the moment are Portal 2, Dark Souls, and Batman:AC with UC3 and Gears 3 just outside that group, but I'm more than certain both Skyrim and LoZ:SS will shake up most of the GOTY conversations going on.

Most of the GOTY awards will go to the more recent titles (Skyrim, Skyward Sword, Gears 3, etc.) because they're fresher in everyone's mind. Portal 2 might take one or two of the awards but definitely won't make any sweeps. If we filter them by consoles, I would say Gears 3 would take Xbox GOTY, Uncharted 3 for PS3, and Skyward Sword for Wii.
