The staff here at TheSixthAxis started their nominations and voting for our Game of the Year over three weeks ago. We’ve been busy collating data and drawing up fancy charts to display that to you every day from now until the overall grand winner is revealed on the 31st of December.
Don’t despair though, dear readers. We haven’t forgotten about you. Below you will find a list of twenty of the best games of the year. We were limited to the number we could include so we went for a mix of some games that have done well in the staff votes you will be seeing over the coming days and some games which have been critically acclaimed here on TSA and further afield.
There will, inevitably, be some of you who don’t think any of the games listed below are worthy of your vote as Game of the Year. That’s fine, simply tick the option for “None of the above” and let us know in the comments what you would have picked and why. It’s all about discussion at this point of proceedings so don’t be afraid to voice your opinion. Unless you’re Dan rattling on about Bit.Trip.Runner again, we’ve heard enough of that over the last few weeks. Let it go Dan, just let it go…
This poll will remain active right up until this year ticks over into the next and I’ll struggle against my planned hangover to check the results on the 1st (or possibly 2nd, I am planning a big hangover…) of January and let the world know what the TSA Community Game of the Year 2010 is.
Get voting and spread the word!

red dead all the way

Ditto for me, it has been the only game I have ever played that has had me completely gripped and genuinely caring about the characters from start to finish!

Same here – Loved the buildup, the online marketing, the spillover into HOME.
Especially deserving as the majority of titles in the list are sequels etc.
I would have appreciated more DLC, but if that is sacrificed to bring their next game to us sooner, then I’m happy with that.
Playing through Red Dead and Enslaved at the moment, so good to see them in the list.
I reckon Red Dead will win.

i don’t mind if red dead walks away with the prize its a stunning game but heavy rain felt so fresh and different.
tough choice

GT5 for me. Looks like it’s between Red Dead and GT5, good to read not many are saying they are voting for CoD BlOps!

Sad to see no sign of Bayonetta or Vanquish. Both trailblazers for new takes on old genres so ARGUABLY worth including at the expense of some games that are sequels that don’t offer much new.
Personally I’m going to vote for None of the Above – I managed to get all the 1000 Achievements in that AND it was an original IP to boot.
My most memorable game of the year (mainly as I expected little from it) although I would not call it a GoTY contender was Singularity. Hella fun!

Agreed. It was certainly a unique gaming experience for me.

Just wondered, does anyone do a gaming equivellant of the razzies?

Definitely Red Dead Redemption, but it was very close between God of War III, Red Dead Redemption and Gran Turismo 5.
