Game Of The Year 2010

Yep, it's still May. But I'm seeing a few games where people think they're so good that they're being nominated a possible GOTY already.

So I thought that maybe we could have one thread where we could discuss what our current GOTY contender is and maybe see through the year how our thoughts change as we play new games which might replace your previous nomination. Could be stickied I guess?

Anyway, looking at games that have been released this year, I'm going to say that Heavy Rain is my current nominee. One of the few games I managed to keep interested enough to complete, I enjoyed every moment of it and completed it in one day due to a solid play session where I just couldn't tear myself away. Absoloutely brilliant game and up there as one of my all time favourite games of all time.

Following very closely behind is Mass Effect 2. Similar to HR, I kept interested in this enough to complete it and put a good few hours into it. Superb game and gave me plenty of enjoyment.
 
So far this year:

1) Heavy Rain
2) GOW3
3) Red Dead Redemption
4) Mass Effect 2

As Fallout 3 was my GOTY in 2008 I can see Fallout: New Vegas being a strong contender for GOTY this year.
 
Heavy Rain is my front runner at the moment but its way to early to call it this year. Mafia II is a big contender if its anything like the original and then you have Little Big Planet 2, Fallout: New Vegas, PES 2011 (if it does what it says in the press release!), Halo Reach etc. Also there have been lots of games released already that I have thoroughly enjoyed. BFBC2, God of War 3, GTA: Episodes from Liberty City and Red Dead Redemption. Its going to be a fantastic but expensive year! :)
 
Heavy Rain number 1 by a distance.

Then ME2 and RDR are next. Not finished RDR but know it isnt going to top Heavy Rain's utter genius
 
As much as I was a huge fan of Mafia1 I have a feeling Mafia2 will be a big letdown to the classic original, not sure why but that's my feeling, rumour has it 2k Czech will be closed down unless Mafia2 sells in very high numbers.
 
So far on my 360 :
1 - Mass Effect 2
2 - Red Dead Redemption
3 - Splinter Cell Conviction
4 - Bayonetta
5 - Alan Wake
6 - Bioshock 2

Next entry should be Dead Rising for my birthday. I need to try Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 to fill this gap.

Ahh that explains the constant delays. I'm happy they're spending more time on it to fine tune especially due to what's at stake. As long as they stick to the solid core gameplay and it has a decent storyline it's bound to be a contender.
 
Unfortunately, I have the same feelings of Placebo about Mafia II. I hope we're both wrong, but it seems to me that this sequel will be "blockbusterized" in order to appeal more people. Difficult to explain, though.
 
So ME2 lived up to the first one? I like games with strong story lines, and I really enjoyed ME's story. If it's really that good I think I will buy it.
 
I've played all of the games mentioned so far in this thread and I feel 'Super Mario Galaxy 2' is far away the best.

It's all about opinions though.

I hated 'Heavy Rain' but that doesn't mean it's a bad game... Loads of people on here love it and that's great for them...
 
Blue Living Salvation...

(see what I did there?)

Red Dead Redemption all the way!
