This year, we're introducing a new spin on our Game of the Year award. We will nominate no more than 15 games, split them into different polls, and let them battle it out until we narrow down the field. Then we will have our final round shortly before New Years.

I nominate Dishonored, Mass Effect 3, and Assassin's Creed 3.

Also, this thread doubles as a Game of the Year Discussion thread, so if you want to discuss gamespot's Game of the Year, this is the place to do it.

I think that's the first time Sleeping Dogs was mentioned here, despite being one of the year's biggest hits.:P

This year blows. I can't even name three worthy games, so I'm just gonna screw around.

I nominate Kid Icarus Uprising, New Super Mario Bros. and Dishonored. Have fun.

It didn't sell well though those who did buy it all seemed to like it a lot. Definitely my favorite game of this year.

It's really good stuff. And for once this gen, it doesn't start slow as hell. So many cinematic games have this horribly slow way of starting, I'm happy to see Sleeping Dogs is the exception.

It doesn't make much sense to me why people are nominating more than one game. Can't there only be one GOTY? :P

What is DYAD?

It's very hard to describe it. http://www.dyadgame.com/ I also forgot to mention Tekken Tag Tourney 2, got it yesterday, easily best fighter this year.

yeah they do, i also can't understand why PES wasn't in the sports game of the year section. A crappy golf game for Vita? But not the greatest football game? FIFA is more popular, and Football Manager is just a tactical game.

Halo 4's would be better if the maps were good. A lot of the maps are pretty poor, and the loadout system, while cool at first, starts getting on your nerves.

I think 4's is better with the crimson map pack, but 3 comes in a close second.

I agree. I will not be voting because I haven't seen any movies this year, but I think it will be a fun activity. Should it be in a poll, or should people just be able to vote for what they want to?

Depends on how many movies people would vote for. I think a poll should be able to have as many as we need, but I'm not certain

I nominate Wreck it Ralph, The Avengers, and the Dark Knight Rises

I recommend getting it. It's short, yes but the experience delivered is great. Of and if you're first time playing this game, play it online. It's a lot better online, especially if you're with a partner who's always with you from the beginning to the end.

It all depends on how good it is. I still think a game should be 5+ hours though.:P
