Zelda. Skyrim is for masses as pop or rock. Skyward Sword is classic music at his best.

What game have been played by more people? Modern Warfare (only talking about single player campaign) or Ocarina of time? A game can be more popular, but that do not make it the finest.

Btw: I played both, Skyrim imo is 9.5 amazing game, Skyward is 10/10, masterpiece.

Zelda is a classic and revolutionizes motion control.
It was one of the most anticipated and one of the best of the year, no doubt.

Skyrim won't take it for the same reason MW3 and BF3 won't take it.
It's eye candy popular game and that's it.
It is the Lady Gaga of video games. Wins awards because it is popular.

Also, Famitsu gave SS a 40. Skyrim not even close.

Go Batman Arkham City!! Universal complaint about Skyrim is the story is lame and that generally hurts alot in GOTY voting.
In Hearthstone we pray to RNGesus. When Yogg-Saron hits the field, RNGod gets to work

Famitsu gave Skyrim a 40/40 too genius...at least know what your talking about before making stupid arguments

If Arkham City had been a bit longer & the side quests a little more meaningful, I would've chosen it as my GOTY. There's nothing quite like flying around and beating baddies up as batman. As it is though, it's between that, Skyrim and The Witcher 2. Hard to seperate those, but I believe the community mods will make Skyrim ultimately my favourite game of the year.

Why isn't Skyward Sword winning the poll? You guys have awful taste IMO.

Yeah, I didn't think Arkham City had a whole lot of depth to it to be honest. I thought a lot of it was fairly redundant, the story was okay I guess and everything was pretty simple and straightforward. Anyway, I never pay any attention to reviews or what game critics have to say because I don't agree with the criteria.

Only played skyrim and portal 2 out of all the games listed. Definetly had way more fun playing Portal 2, such an amazing and polished game, multiplayer aspect was amazing having to work together with a buddy to solve the puzzles, loved every second of it, skyrim is nice and i spend a lot of more time playing that game, but i defintely take quality over quantity anytime.

If Minecraft doesn't win, I'll be very, very sad.

It's been a VERY long time since a game has created a Genre, and Minecraft will be remembered forever for just that.
Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where, when facing a SlayerS terran, completing a hatchery would cause a medivac and 8 marines to randomly spawn nearby and attack it.

Minecraft didn't craete a genre. It is known as sand-box game.
All it did was to throw the player into a randomly generated world.
It could be a sub-genre, but then you can say that CoD should win something for creating the casual-FPS.

Minecraft should win the independent game or whatever it is called. No indie dev will ever do a better job than Minecraft.

Skyrim by a billion miles. No other game comes close, people are saying portal 2? Are you out of your mind? Portal 2 is pretty fun we get it but I've never seen a more hyped franchise in my life. Hipster Portal, /shudders.

Skyrim should clean this up if there is any hope for PC gaming moving forward.

Except that Skyrim isn't a PC exclusive, nor was it developed primarily for PC. Bethesda said that they planned for the 360 to be the primary system, and the PC is a port of it.

If you want PC gaming to move forward, you'd support Portal and Valve, one of if not the biggest PC developers on the market.

While you're correct it was developed first for 360, the PC version is miles and miles ahead of the console versions. Sure the UI is a bit clunky for a PC interface but that's about it. The game runs better, looks better and feels better on the PC. Once the mods start flowing in after the Skyrim workshop is released through steam the game is going to be even more incredible. And yes, modability and replayability should factor into this decision, no game released this year will end up as customizable, or as deep as Skyrim.

I suppose it would be unfair to say Ico or Shadow of the Colossus =p.

I'd say Dark Souls.

I have never enjoyed a single player game as much as Dark Souls in my life. The combat just clicks with me and I wish there were more games that used its system. The pacing of the game is great, definitely a step up from Demon's Souls. Grinding is never truly necessary unless you need to get levels to equip something you want to wear or use, and even then, skill alone is enough to overcome just about anything in the game. Whenever I overcame a challenge that minutes before seemed impossible, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction was like nothing I've ever experienced.

With that said, most gamers don't want the kind of challenge it brings to the table. I have introduced it to several friends who are pretty good gamers overall and watched them die dozens of times to the point where they wanted nothing more to do with the game. The hardcore appeal, or rather, lack of casual appeal, is probably why it won't win GoTY from any publication.
