Posted December 11, 2010 I havn't played any of them either....my game of the year wuld be Super Mario Galaxy 2 as well or Heavy Rain. l've got a lot of the years later releases to buy though :/ Also plan on getting red dead soonish as well as Mass Effect 2 when it hits PS3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2010 Scroll down a bit for full list of nominees Love the specified Human element to the awards a bit farther down... Not really surprised by any of the nominees. Don't really feel I could make a correct decision anywhere, only that I hope Limbo grabs an award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 11, 2010 I'll be frank, I'm surprised this thread is actually about the awards and not the trailers; the VGAs have the integrity of damp tissue paper. Anyway, I think Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is likely my favourite game this year, although it's a close run thing with Red Dead and ME2 waiting in the wings.

Posted December 11, 2010 yeah agreed it is more about the reveals that the trailers have etc...are they getting aired here again this year? Weren't they on Channel 5 last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2010 Monster Hunter 3 is easily my game of the year, followed by Mario Galaxy and then Final Fantasy XIII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2010 None of them stand out against one another. They all have amazing things going on with them but they are also all far from what I'd consider a GOTY. If I had to pick, personally I'd say God of War III, but only really because I like how pissed of Kratos is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Video_Game_Awards#2009_Awards Here are the results.( I know the link says 2009 but trust me on this) IN short. Game of the year = Red dead redemption Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2010 IN short. Game of the year = Red dead redemption I thought that it was good but not brilliant. Everyone forgot about it after two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
