I like how monopolized the DLC nominations are. Just two games.
 
Before this starts to get out of hand. I've noticed MW2 and IW are on these lists.

Let's be civil about this.

Where's Diablo 3? It's probably more anticipated than these other titles. Battlefield 3 should be here somewhere too. Also, Fallout 3 has the best soundtrack. Killing things while listening to a 1950s song just awesome.

Really? DJ Hero over the Beatles and Brutal Legend?
 
I agree with everything you put watersnake except i think Uncharted 2 should be game of the year Naughty Dog should be studio of the year and Uncharted 2 for best action game. Batman Arkham asylum got so old and the ending was stupid
 
I only really voted for titles i had actually played, which sadly was few...
what i did vote for was basically the same as yours except my most anticipated game is Mass Effect 2, i just hope it wont be so glitchy as the last one...

First off, thanks. I don't want this to be another MW2 IW sucks thread.

Also, I do agree that Diablo and Battlefield are tried and true series, and both are games that I will wait up all night for, both hold a special significance to me.

And yeah, FA3 should get some credit there.
