Title: GATT Game of the Year 2011 [Nomination Thread]
Post by: TheApprentice on November 29, 2011, 01:56:13 AM

2011 was a mammoth year in gaming.
Sequels upon sequels stole the show and broke records across genres.
Games like Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Battlefield, to name a few arrived with spectacular welcomes across GATT.


This is GATT's 2011 Game of the Year Awards where we nominate and vote on what our community deems the best of the year.


This is how it will work:

Every poster is allowed to nominate any 3 games of which they think should be awarded the GATT Game of the Year Title.
As you guys post I'll update the first post, with the nominations.

The top 5 will then be selected and added as a poll to the voting thread.
The voting will at that point begin!

Nominations end on December 13th.


Rules:

• 1.) Each GATT member is allowed to reply a total of 3 nominations to this thread.
  
  2.) The game must have been released within the year 2011.. (January 1st to November 29th)
  If you don't know the date, still post and I'll verify the release, or you yourself can do the honors :)
  
  3.) In all fairness, the nominees should have been played by the poster (to avoid biased votes for a particular title, Nominate what you played and loved). It is totally fine if you wish to nominate an unplayed game though. This is just a guideline.
  
  

The titles with the most nominations for a specific platform will be the platform specific GOTY. eg.) If Gears of War 3 receives the most nominations, it will be the Xbox 360 Game of the Year.


Happy nominating!

Assassin's Creed: Revelations - 2
Bastion - 1
Batman: Arkham City - 12

1) Star Wars: The Old Republic (If you've played the beta; you can't not select this.)
2) Assassin's Creed: Revelations
3) Batman: Arkham City

Battlefield 3 is also really good - I think a milestone for FPS games.

Crysis 2 was good but it didn't give me that warm fuzzy "game of the year" feeling.

Will have to consider these nominations very carefully.

Really want to take a crack at Uncharted 3 before casting my ballots.

2011 was a mammoth year in gaming.

Mammoth year indeed yes. So many to choose from. Amazon recently shipped out my copy of Arkham City and Skyrim. Looking forward to putting in some hrs before casting my vote. So far, The Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, Arkham City & Skyrim are at the top of my list.
