Game of the Year: Mass Effect 2

Breaking it down into random genre's seem funny to me with the only purpose to mention games that you like but aren't quite the best of the year (Groucho's post not withstanding)

Mostly, that was the reason, yes. It's difficult for me to compare something like Mass Effect 2, which is story based and essentially close-ended to a racing or rhythm game, which are played totally differently.

Mass Effect 2 gets my vote for game of the year as well.

Edit to add: My Disappointment of the year goes to Fable 3

Re: Official DVDTalkers 2010 GAME OF THE YEAR Thread

Best console games (PS3): Rock Band 3, Just Cause 2, Bioshock 2, God of War III
Best downloadable game: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Best portable games: Picross 3D (DS), WordFeud (Android)
Biggest disappointments: Red Dead Redemption, Green Day Rock Band
On the to-play list: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Split/Second

Edit: Wow, compared to my 2009 list, I either didn't play as many games (entirely possible, I had a Gamefly account in 2009, but not 2010), or 2010 just wasn't as exciting for games.
