I think the only credible way to give out a game of the year award is to just give up and call it a tie. Pick your two favorites and just apologize for being a critical wuss. And then give tons of props to all your honorable mentions. Any other approach and you're just looking to start a fight. My GOTY: Halo 3 and Mass Effect with mad props to Orange Box, Virtua Fighter 5 and PuzzleQuest.

Bioshock is boring, combat gets dull and watching a cinematic conversation to learn things is far more entertaining then standing still listening to an audio diary.
Oh look, I have an opinion too! I better be careful with having one of those. lulz
I can't be one to say GOTY due to my restrictions to tehe Xbox platforms. But Xbox GOTY for me is either Halo 3 or Mass Effect, since these have entertained me the most. Why would I care if something is different or unique if I still prefer a good ole generic sci-fi?

Just finished beating this game on insanity and it was great, after the first time I beat it I was a little let down but after getting all the achievements I have a much greater respect for this game. Small problems it has but, I can deal with them easly. Heres to hoping an expansion comes soon and that the wait for two is less than 2 years.

In my opinion, Mass Effect deserves GOTY WAY more than Bioshock. Bioshock was extremely overrated, mainly because of the miniscule amount of hype it got compared to Halo 3 and Mass Effect. I thought Mass Effect would be one of the best games ever, and while I can't say it is, I was still happy with it. I thought Bioshock would be boring, and i don't feel I was off by much.
Why Bioshock gets the attention it does, I have no idea. It hasn't deserved it.
