Predict this years "game of the year"

I have no hope in Skyrim winning simply because it 'feels' too niche. It has the potential to be the best game of the year though.
This leaves us with either Mass Effect 3 or Uncharted 3. Both games with a huge following that appeal to a larger number of gamers and not just hardcore.
I will say Mass Effect 3 because I prefer that genre.

Yes. Absolutely yes.JackandTom said:
On a more serious note, I think InFamous 2 has a shot, the first one was awesome, and this one looks even better. Also, I have high hopes for Arkham City and Resistance 3, but my final vote would have to be with InFamous 2.
I agree. I absolutely loathed the combat system in Morrowind and Oblivion and that being a major part of the game... Great story was also ruined by the incomprehensibly fugly NPCs and their dodgy accents.Roperius said:
I'm the least qualified person to talk about anything Elder Scrolls related, but as good as Skyrim looks, it's not top of my list to play.
Though I do think it has a serious chance of GOTY.
I dunno about the industry, because they're known for some weird decisions, but I know what MY GOTY list will look like:
L.A. Noire
The Witcher 2

Batman: Arkham City
Mass Effect 3
Uncharted 3
Apparently, I'm the only person on the gaming planet who doesn't give a damn about Portal 2 and Skyrim

Holding up the flag for Deus Ex 3.
Yes, it's always stupid to hold up hopes for franchises whose sequel already trashed itself spectaculary, but if they keep up that design, are capable of keeping the choice-system as good as it is now, bring back an augemntation-system that really feels like something character-defining AND provide an interesting plot...too good to hope for.
Skyrim is quite possible, though after Oblivion...and it's really close to grinding the same thing to death, given the number of programs and the timespan in which they appeared.
Portal 2, despite everything, is the least likely to be THAT game, at least in my eyes. As Yahtzee said "Yes, it's only 3 hours long, but that's a good lenght for it." It just reeks too much like bland franchise-milking to me, and hands up for everyone who sees "The cake is a lie"-jokes and at least two "Still alive"-songs coming.
Though it'd be poetic if Portal 2 became the biggest Portal-jerk off of them all.
As for ME3 and SW: TOR.....yeah...the latter one probably sacks it for being the "new" Star Wars. And for both goes....I think I kinda see the path Bioware is walking down right now. Proove me wrong, but DA 2 and the TOR-trailer are so going along with my fears in that matter...
