You don’t need to be psychic to predict how the media’s GOTYs are going to turn out this year. Yes, there have been big budget hits and long awaited sequels. There have been exciting new franchises, returns of characters long left in stasis, and multiplayer gaming of a quality possibly superseding any year before.
But despite the big guns, the money makers, the games that are pushing gaming further into (and beyond) previous levels of cinematic mastery, there is one huge curve-ball. A game that has entertained, educated, scared, challenged, inspired and awed people of all ages. A game so wide in scope and purpose that to explain it to a prospective player is surprisingly difficult...
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.

skyrim is my GOTY.
the story was really good, but the gameplay in uncharted 3 is just..WOW!. i think it can get goty. but to each there own...skyrim, uncharted 3, dark souls, deuse ex hr are so far my gotys
Doesn't Minecraft have to exit beta in order to be eligable for GOTY?
having played Portal 2, BAC, Dark Souls, UC3 & currently digging into Skyrim, my personal vote goes for UC3!!!
i agree it has not taken that big step what UC2 did in terms of action and storytellinjg, BUT it is certainly a great mixture of gameplay, graphics, story and voice acting.
Dark Souls baby, Dark Souls.
Portal 2 a close second.
For me.
