    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.

    Mass Effect 2..meh. GOW 3 tops it in every way, so far i’d say GOW 3 is looking really good for GOTY.

    gow 3 has the graphics for sure,it has story it has just the pure awsomeness there,its also just a pure fun enjoyable game.im sure mass effect is also but i woudnt know.also its not a repetitive game for you have combos powers finishers, but people dont know how to play it,but shooters just about everyone knows how to play them just aim and shoot(2 buttons)pretty much it.but i do love shooters but people dont realize its so much more repetative exspecially with all the games in the genre

    ME2 is an amazing game… with TONS of replay value. I have GOW 1 and 2… but I just can’t see myself getting as much out of GOW3 as I did ME2. A great game… but a rental. PLay it, be impressed, beat it. Next game.

      Dude very true. I am a huge GOW fan and have played and beat all three of them but you play them, you're amazed, you put it back on the shelf and it sits there. You might replay them maybe way down the road just for kicks, but other than that the replay value sucks. I haven't played Mass Effect and I am sure its great, but what gives it its edge is probably the replay value.

    How exactly does hack and slash top a shooter/rpg in every way?
    just finished mass effect 2 on my second playthrough. its the most polished game ive ever played and will almost definatly be my goty (unless skate 3 is amazing)

    Mass Effect 2 has it hands down for me. The replayability, branching decision options, and stellar gameplay make it the obvious choice. Having said that I have been looking forward to God of War III for years now. As great as it is, it does tend to be another button mashing fest which does get tiresome. The replay value is not there for the God of War. Mass Effect 2 delivered on the promise of the first game and leaves players hugely anticipating the conclusion of the trilogy. Hard to make a comparison between the two because they are two completely distinct play styles but for me it is no competition… ME2 GOTY.

    Little early in the year for that kind of talk yet.

    they are definite contenders but i think something else might win it. The combat in ME2 sucks and to me its just boring and the story didnt interest me at all. Thats just my opinion and i dont really like rpgs. GOW3 has an interesting story but it is pretty much a hack n slash so i dont know who could win it. I bet The Last Guardian is going to be amazing.

    God of War III = Game of the Year
    Only reason scores aren't perfect is because "haters" like to nitpick. You can't find reasonable arguments against this game.
    ME2 was great but didn't pull me in as much, scanning thing?! and gameplay got boring
