Right here we go then:

Demon's Souls - 3

Persona 4 - 2
Uncharted 2 - 1
Batman Arkham Asylum - 1
Flower - 1
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram - 1
Patapon 2 - 1


I feel like a lot of people have forgotten Persona 4 came out in Europe this year, hence my weighting to it as this is the year when I played it. As expected with this format, any portable choices I would have made totally get the bum end with Patapon 2 just creeping on when I'd like to have listed Giana Sisters DS, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Half-Minute Hero in there. Old system again next year please, especially due to the sheer amount of awesome shit planned for 2010 so early on.

I don't agree with the points system as I said many pages ago. I created my top 10 just like any other year. I assigned points just so that Persona 4 gets 2...

  1. uncharted 2 - 3
  2. Persona 4 - 2
  3. Infamous - 1
  4. Demon's Souls - 1
  5. Street Fighter 4 - 1
  6. Fl0wer - 1
  7. Assassins creed 2 - 1
  8. Plants vs zombies - not good enough for the new points system
  9. Retro game challenge - not good enough for the new points system
  10. Half minute hero - not good enough for the new points system

fake edit: yes it's Persona 4 PAL people...

Sorry, but does Bayonetta count since it came out in some western markets last year?

I'm also debating whether to include Ryu ga Gotoku 3, or vote for Yakuza 3 for this year (or maybe both?).

Haven't played that many 2009 games this year (so 2010 should be great), but two games comes too mind.

Batman: AA - 3 points
Torchlight - 2 points

Trust no one. Eat steaks.
Ok, I've read the rules. I'm in NZ but the game I am giving 3 votes for is a US Import since it won't be out in NZ till later this year, if at all. Rest are available in retail or as digital download.

Demon's Souls PS3 - 3
Trials HD XBLA- 2
Ninja Gaiden 2 X360- 2
Shadow Complex XBLA- 2
Uncharted 2 PS3 - 1

Thanks for putting in the time for this.

I just want to chime in and say that anybody who has NOT tried Demon's Souls yet should do so before the voting deadline. I had not played it until just recently and it is undeniably a top contender. Find this game and buy it!

Was actually hard for me to pick a GOTY this year. There were lots of games that I enjoyed but nothing that really stood out like in years past. Ended up giving DA: O the top nod since the only real downside was too many of the quests being padded out with filler / repetitive combat. 'Splosion Man and Battlefield 1943 were the two that ended up being just outside of the points.

If it was released last year in your region, or you imported it, you're free to list it. A few people have listed Bayonetta already.

3 Points:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

2 Points:
Tales of Monkey Island
Batman Arkham Asylum

1 Point:
Demon's Souls
New Super Mario Brothers Wii
Patapon 2

3 Points - Prinny Can I Really Be The Hero?
2 Points - Plants vs Zombies
2 Points - Dissidia Final Fantasy
1 Point - Peggle Itouch
1 Point - Chuzzle Itouch

Games I wish I had a chance to play but didn't
- Eufloria
- Mini Ninjas
- Batman

Well there you go. Prinny is by far and away the winner here for me. I LOVED it even though I never beat it :( But the fact that the levels change depending on the order in which you pick them still gave me plenty of playtime. Also looks like I somewhat of a popcap whore :/ Not even sure if Chuzzle for the app store came out this year but I'll just say it did (if not then just cross it off). I love me some Chuzzle and Peggle just feels right on my touch.

2010 GOTY? Prinny 2 with my much needed baby mode :D

I've had a blast with handhelds this year. Although I didn't buy many new DS games, compared to before, PSP has really been awesome;


So here is my handheld only list: 1 point for each game:

Patapon 2
Half Minute Hero
Dragon Quest V
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Little Big Planet
LocoRoco 2
PixelJunk Monsters: Deluxe
Dissidia Final Fantasy
Phantasy Star Portable
Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble

(I do have all consoles too, but I figure these get enough attention in the GOTY thread.)
