Well I think it’s kind of early in the year to be giving anyone Goty honors just yet, these two games are gonna b hard to top. But, there is a lot that is coming that could. Agent, Alan Wake, The Last Guardian, Halo, Hell Fable III could be awesome you never know, GT 5… It’s a little early I’d say.

Defintely front running. The game looks awesome and the graphcis are incredible, but I think we knew that was gonna be the case. The problems I have with it is the game play and the genre in general are pretty played out. When I look at videos from Alan Wake, that is a game I am getting excited for. It just looks like its full of new experiences.

It’s likely that one of these two wins but, you never know. Something could come by and blow them out of tha water. @Barry O Yea I feel the same about Alan Wake oh yes and Agent is gonna be beast as well.

Definitely Mass Effect 2. God of War III is just another hack & slash. Technically beautiful but brings nothing new to the genre.
