Wow. We're only almost midway through 2010 and yet we've seen quite an extraordinary number of high calibre titles. By the looks of it, the fight for game of the year will be especially intense this time round.
So I want to know, as of now, what would your personal choice for GOTY be and which games, on the horizon, would you consider to be potential challengers?

Nominations for my Game of the Year 2010 (so far):
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Winner)
Bayonetta
Heavy Rain
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption

Potential Challengers:
StarCraft 2
LittleBigPlanet 2
Gran Turismo 5 (The perfect racing sim?)
MGS: PeaceWalker (PSP game or not, it does have the potential)
Medal of Honor
PES 2011 :D

I'm sure not all of us will agree with each other's picks but we can unanimously agree on one thing: 2010 is shaping up to be a golden year for all platforms of gaming.

I'm not sure SMG2 will be a winner.

the winner is probably Starcraft II. I'm sure it will be.

Personally my GOTY will be Starcraft II and Peace Walker, maybe Mafia II with LBP2.

Oh man, i can't choose... So much games this year... Even Infamous 2 have potential...

Hindle's tastes are usually similar to Metacritic's =P

Bayonetta, SMG2 (albeit I can only play it on my buddy's Wii).

Erm except Mario galaxy 2 is the most highest rated game of the year so far and ive no real intrest in it. Me 2 and RD are way higher then anything ive played so far. Gow 3 was amazing as well.

I meant out of 360/PS3 duh, you 've picked up two titles whose metacritic ratios are exactly top 2 (out of this year's ones that is), one after another. coincidence? maybe, but I 've noticed you seem to rate games like that way too often =P

anyway, I'm struggling to think what other titles later this year could impress me that much. Vanquish won't come out until 2011 I guess?

Maybe its because those games are excellent imo and everyone who has played them be it critic or consumer would agree, and as for me later this year there is nothing so far well Castlevania Los, Enslaved, Portal 2 and LBP 2 are the ones ill probably buy.

I for one found ME2 terribly dull myself. it also did get considerably lower scores from quite a few people.

nah, you misunderstand.. there's no difference between 96 and 88, all those games are pretty much 'critically acclaimed'. at least between different genre ones. there's a difference between 80 and 90 though of course. you seem to place them exactly like their ratios are way too often from what I've seen.

oh, and I would wholeheartidly agree about LBP btw, but unfortunately I'm very much not into level design and the such.

Ive never mentioned metascores, nor do i ever go of metascores imo. Bioshock 2 got a 88 metascore so thats a good game according to that. To me though that game is the most uncalled for sequel ever made, it should never of happened.

Going of metascores if youre a consumer is stupid, i have mentioned game developers should use it in the past as its a aggregate for the reception you get etc and as history proves when a game developer doesnt listen to feedback you get what Silent hill has become or POP.

well, I did see you placing titles similarly to their ratios before. anyway: btw, what metascore the original Bioshock deserved from your point of view?

devs should listen to user reviews, and the community. like ie on their own board (EA forums etc). if the fans don't like the sequel they aren't going to buy it, regardless. and non fans care even less about Gamerankings/Metacritic.

Uncharted 2!....no game released this year so far has come to surpassing it. Maybe GOW3 but that's it so I have to say GOW3.

Alan Wake is standing head and shoulders above the rest for me right now. I've never played a game with as much tension and atmosphere and man it has such rediculously good lighting.

Mass Effect 2 is a close second.

Potential GOTYs for me would be Halo:Reach (most liekly), Crackdown 2 and possibly Dead Space 2 making a challenge.

@Gadzooks!

What are you talking about? I felt no fear or tension throughout the game hell Silent Hill: Homecoming did a better job than ALan Wake, which is sad. Shadows aren't scary. Remedy could have done so much better with this story but they fell short. Granted it did have great eye candy I felt really disappointed at the end.
