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!
Origami Killer
has to be Red Dead by a country mile
Origami Killer

Thats why i’ve yet to vote. There’s so many games that i’m getting for Xmas that are on the list so i chose not to.

The God of War Collection.
I’m sorry, but the combination of God of War 1 & 2 in HD, with two platinum trophies, is just better than any of the games listed above. It even launched at a budget price! :D

Well yeah, but it wasn’t a new game was it? If I could vote for whatever version of Sonic was rereleased this year I’d happily do that.

Sonic 4 IS a new game.
But I see your point about God of War. Although, I could argue that the God of War Collection would be seen as different to God of War 1 & 2 by the ESRB on a technicality, I’ll accept your point.
Then I’ll switch to Dante’s Inferno as my ‘none of the above.’ Although after Christmas I may think more of either Red Dead, GT5, or Enslaved.

Nono Of The Above: Rock Band 3
It’s just fantastic, the amount of quality songs on disc (Free Bird, Bohemian Rhapsody, Beast And The Harlot) and the amount of quality DLC we’ve had already since release (Billy Joel, More Queen, Bee Gees, John Lennon) added to ALL the old DLC and songs off the old games mean I just keep coming back to it.
The new Pro Modes are fantastic if a little difficult, Keys provide a nice slower tempo with some tough tracks to keep you on your toes, the career is fantastic and the general ease of playing and getting friends together has been improved beyond belief.
I can see myself playing this for years.

I was going to vote for Dragon Age haha, wow has it been out that long.

I went for Gt5. There’s a lot of options there, was a tough choice. I really hope red dead doesn’t win it, even though i think it will. Was just more of the same Gta as far as i’m concerned.

I agree, I think it will be between Red Dead and GT5, although I can’t help but feel Red Dead will win on the basis that it’s multi-platform.
MadBoJangles
I voted for None of the Above.
Demon’s Souls wazzed all over that list imo :)
moshi
Red Dead for me, I would still be playing it now if it wasn’t for a game stopping hair line crack.
ShovellyJoe
I must’ve been asleep through 2010, I haven’t played any of these games!
beeje13
Hmmm, anyone else look at the list and think, theres not a real stand out game?
Because of that had to go with GT5 ’cause of it’s epic proportions and graphical quality

Where’s Naughty Bear?! :)
