It was between Heavy Rain and Mass Effect 2 for me.

[HINDERIZATION]

i would've gone for Heavy Rain or God of War III. Both left me on the edge of my seat as i kept getting further into them.

[MmaFanQc]

multiplatform game vs exclusives....guess what game had the best visibility?

in my book Heavy Rain was better than Red Dead ....but only by the skin of the teeths

[CameronL99]

Yeah there were both xbox and ps3 people voting for red dead seeing as how its multi-plat, whereas only PS3 gamers were voting for God of War, if this were just PS3 gamers voting the results would be a LOT different, seeing as how Red Dead was the only game worth playing on the 360 in 2010, aside from Mass Effect 2.

[MmaFanQc]

lmao at the disagrees, peoples are mad because they cant accept others peoples can have their own opinions.

must suck to be them..

[UnSelf]

I thought all you wanted was to be free, but of course as we all know we are not here because we are free we are here because we are not free.....theres no escpaing reason, no denying purpose because as we both know.........

[ikkeweer]

Glad I had no competition there, and I almost played them all 4 except ME2 which I will get shortly.
Mine was Fallout New Vegas, despite the 30+ console freezes I had.

"John Marston Extinguishes Kratos"

2 shallow characters go head-2-head.

[Nick212004]

Red Dead Redemption is definitely not a bad choice, but my vote still goes to God of War 3.

[Troll_Police]

Agreed.

[N4WAH]

I prefer GOW3 as well.

I thought RDR was great but the save feature in that game was so broken. I would run off a bunch of side missions than do a main mission, get killed, and the side missions I completed were erased and had to be repeated. It got to a point that I was saving the game literally after everything I completed.

I didn't mind the ending of RDR but I don't like how it played out after the ending if you went on to complete all the side missions and look for all the items. It was annoying. "Just like yah showed me paw. Come on yah damn nag." <--GRRRRRRR / freaking annoying!

I wanted to have an out of body experience and shoot my own character.

[theonlylolking]

RDR is overrated

[b163o1]

Very Overrated, good game thou. It was worth its time..... but a Multi-Platform character beat a Exclusive character by only 2.7% says a lot....in my eyes O.o

[Loner]

Dont bring a blade to a gun fight

[InvaderZim]

@Loner: Not even the Blade of Olympus??? **Crazy Eyes**

[Areeb11]

Dude.... If it was Kratos vs John Marston, Kratos would destroy him before Marston could even count to 3 'Mississippi'

Kratos > Marston. If you disagree, watch Kratos vs Cronos.

[killajd]

Red Dead was a great game but didn't give me that, "oh wow" effect! GOW3 did, at like every part of the game. I want something that new and different and RDR didn't bring that.

[kane_1371]

stop it right there, i'm not gonna say don't think like that, just saying what i think, k?

i believe, that, before calling me any names ppl should check my comment history so they know that i am a PSdroid.
with that said, GOW3 literally sucked for the name of GOD OF WAR, had nothing special new, or fun, except the fact of using damn much of PS3's power for battles full of moving, living and a little bit thinking objects.
GOW3 was simply a good ending, just like MGS4 was simply a good game, not WHAT they should have been.
but, RDR, was innovative, and brought new content, feeling and meaning to a sandbox game.

and other really New and Innovative games were Bayonetta and Heavy Rain.
these games delivered all they were supposed to.
while GOW3 was a short wrap up of an epic

[killajd]

Are u talking to me on saying wait a minute!

[OllieBoy]

Kratos swam in the River Styx. John Marston automatically drowns in a shallow pond.

Advantage: GoWIII

[creeping judas]

John Marston is by far my favorite game character recently!!

[Kon]

Commander Shepard for me.

[Motorola]

Red Dead felt too much like GTA for it to be my GOTY. Felt like a copy to me. Still 100% on it for that trophy ;D

[George Sears]

Really? Because besides them both being by the same company and genre I didn't see any resemblance at all.

One is a modern type violence game, the other is a western spaghetti masterpiece.

[Kewl_Kat]

I guess Kratos' quest for revenge isn't done yet. Watch your back Marston!

[OllieBoy]

I'd love to see Kratos rip Marston's head off.

In fact, that would've been a better ending to RDR.

[NateCole]

Not bad considering once is exclusive and the other is a multi-plat. Even with a bigger base for RDR it only managed to pip GOW3 by just 2.7%.

[Obama]

One is exclusive one is not, not surprised.

[ikkeweer]

Damn, a demokrat-troll president. I never...........

On Topic, Mario would just bounce on their heads and make them go poof.

[_DragonSlayer_]

Both Incredible games but I have to give GOW3 the slightest of edges only because I could not believe some of the boss battles..They were truly a sight to behold...And to think I traded in Red Dead for Black Ops...I sure do regret that decision ;(

[consolez_FTW]

yeah, I loved both RDR and GOW3 but GOW3 was just on a more epic scale IMO.

[cstyle]

GOWIII was an amazing experience but not GOTY worthy IMO.Basically it was no different than the first 2. Just a larger scale but still the same thing. Red Dead and mass effect 2 was more deserving than a hack-n-slash with good visuals. So much for exclusives being the better games. Same thing will happen this year. A muti-plat will win again.

[OllieBoy]

Uncharted 3 is multiplatform now? When did this happen?

[SoapShoes]

And you know Red Dead is a sequel for a game on the PS2 right? Mass Effect 2 was essentially the same as the first too.

[nevin1]

I was disapointed with GOW3's length but its still my game of the year as I find RDR single player sort of boring so far. Right now Im doing mission in mexico.

[BX81]

GOW3 was good but not GOTY. Same hack n' slash but it was pretty bad ass. I think red dead has too much quality not to be GOTY! Hell I had more fun with undead nightmare than I did with GOW3 and it was just DLC! For me it was between Red Dead and Heavy Rain! Very close!

[Joni-Ice]

Nobody knew about this poll. I would have chose KRATOS

[ElementX]

GOW3 is just more of the same. I felt that RDR was somewhat fresh. Yes, there have been other games set in the old west, however RDR was top notch.

[x5exotic]

more of the same? thats what sequels are supposed to be,,,,RDR was just a backward GTA

[hassi94]

It was nothing like GTA. It may have had similar controls and feel, but the way the game played and the structure of missions/meeting people and the structure of how the story was advanced was just completely different.

Stop being so ignorant.

[x5exotic]

nothing like GTA? riding a horse is like riding a san andreas bicycle thats 1,and jacking horses and cars are prretty much the same concept ,guns,killing,cops

stop being so defensive

[Buffniceguy]

Gow 3 for me the people saying it shouldn't be game of the year didn't play it.

[x5exotic]

HAHAHHA fail

a Multiplatform only surpasses an exclusive in a popularity contest only by ...2.7%
hehehehehe

edit:heavy rain sucks ass :)

[hassi94]

Gotta be Red Dead or Mass Effect 2 last year, for me there was no question other than those 2.

[prettyboy1]

u guy r entitled to ur own opinions and all but come on,gow3 was by far the most epic game i played...PERIOD.the boss battles espeacially with kronos,that was the most epic boss battle i ever played in a video game,it kept on the edge of my chair the whole time.so u guys can say what u want bout gow3 cus regardless of wut u say it will always be remembered
