    Dark Souls winning it would be a pretty badass move on Gamespot's part, imo. Although I wouldn't blame them if they just called it a tie between DS and Skyrim. And in a way it would be a reasonable response. I mean, it's like comparing Citizen Kane with a Lord of the Rings movie. Who's to say which is better?

    Dark Souls, for me. All of these games are great, and are all GOTY material in general; nothing in memory has enthralled me so much as Dark Souls, however. Demon's Souls won GOTY 2009 for GS, and I wouldn't be disappointed with another win for the Souls series.

    Witcher 2 should take this home. No other game pushed the genre forward like TW2 did this year.

    Unfortunately because most people will vote either pro-hype or pro-platform I guess SKyrim is going to win this one but NOT because it is something extraordinary.

    its a pretty hard choice but i really do love skyrim

    I think Skyrim should have it, but i only own Skyrim. But thts because iv watched gameplay and reviews of al the above and only saw Skyrim is necessary to own. Dark Souls looks awesome as well though, Witcher 2 sounds unique and good, Gears of War 3 is played out imo, i cant see a Batman game winning, and i dont remember any others. Portal 2 is also a creative game and gets credit for being rememorable.

    Dark Souls is my game of the year though. Probably my favorite game ever.
