So we have game of the year votes from 2011 to 2017 but none from before, so why not do it now?

Slightly different rules since we're talking about old games. Votes can be changed, so if you hear a case or debate it out maybe you'll come out on the other side.

Previous years:
2017 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 31%
2016 - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - 20%
2015 - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 35%
2014 - South Park: The Stick of Truth - 15%
2013 - The Last of Us - 29%
2012 - The Walking Dead - 20%
2011 - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 48%

Really have no affinity for anything here other than Bayonetta and Galaxy 2.

Heavy Rain in particular should be in a "Worst of" vote instead of this one, tbh.

Damn, 2010 was a pretty great year.

Mass Effect 2 I believe is the first, and still only game I ever 100% completed (minus any DLC, was there DLC?)

3 of my all-time top 10 in ME2, Civ 5, and SC2. Great year for games. AC:B and FO:NV were solid as well. ME2 though is probably my favourite game ever so that got my vote.

Damn, 2010 was kinda stacked.

Mass Effect 2 gets my vote. Best game in the series by a significant margin. So many memorable characters (Tali is best space waifu), a solid mix between tactical and action based combat, and the soundtrack.

Lots of other worthy games though. RDR and Galaxy 2 in particular.

So many great games in 2010, but ME2 takes it for me.

I love that series to an almost irrational level.

I can’t imagine it comes close to winning but Alan Wake is my favorite game so I voted for it. While the gameplay does get a bit repetitive, I loved the atmosphere and story.

Went with Red Dead Redemption here. But it was a tough choice not to put Mass Effect, Galaxy, or New Vegas. Even though Black Ops was my most played of that list (I played Call of Duty Zombies to death alone and with my friends)

Out of the games listed I went with Civ 5 with the caveat that the expansions are required.

ME2 was great but it didn't have the lasting appeal of Civ 5.
New Vegas was well written but buggy as hell.

Maybe controversial but Galaxy 2 by a country mile from that list. Bayonetta I thought was alright when i played it back then, now i think its fantastic. But to be honest, from that list, a pretty weak year for games,

I played lots of RDR but I never felt it was some amazing game. I don't know. As far as Western games I liked the Call of Juarez series better. ME2 was much better gameplay than ME1 however the story, music, atmosphere and pretty much everything else was better in ME1 in my opinion so ME2 just wasn't as exciting to me.

Voted Battlefield Bad Company 2. AMAZING game. And who doesn't love these? The MGS one at the end is my favorite! :laugh:

2010 was a year absolutely loaded with good, but not great games imo. Went with New Vegas, but I probably have the most hours into Bad Company 2 and Black Ops

No Final Fantasy 13? I know it wasn't the greatest of the series, but I would put it ahead of some of those games. I voted God of War 3, but I thought this was a weak year.

Mass Effect is my favourite gaming series and Mass Effect 2 is my all time favourite game. Have to go with that. Runner up would be RDR, with an honourable mention to New Vegas.

Also, played the shit out of Black Ops back in the day with friends.

2010 was a great year for games. Played almost all of the games on this list and enjoyed all of them immensely.

Mass Effect 2 with FO:NV as close runner-up.

Civ V was great but I preferred it with the add-ons which came out later.

I want Fallout: New Vegas on Switch so bad.

I adored Fallout 3 but never played NV because of how buggy the PS3 version apparently was at launch. Once I heard it was fixed I was already well moved on.
