You know Archie I originally intended Gears to be in my list, but then when I started going through the games that came out that year I was surprised at the amount of high quality shit.
Zelda barely made it....THAT is a crazy good year.

Not a single new IP in your top 10. Only 3 in your honourable mentions. :X

Dark Souls is technically a new IP.

They weren't allowed to use the Demon's Souls name because Sony owned it so they had to make a sequel but change the name of it.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

I debated whether to go with sequel or IP.

There WAS a ton of sequels this year, but at least they were good.

I can easily find my GOTY posts for these years so I will just copy paste them, I will make any adjustments if I have changed my mind on anything. DAMNIT I dont have a top 10, shit, guess I have to make one.

11. Super Mario 3D Land

10. Uncharted 3

9. Portal 2

8. Rayman Origins

7. Mortal Kombat

6. Deus Ex Human Revolution

5. LittleBigPlanet 2

4. Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Boxart

3. Dark Souls

DS_ps3PKG-Fr_mb04a%281%29boxart_160w.jpg

2. Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City Boxart

1. Zelda: Skyward Sword

skyward_sword_wii_final1boxart_160w.jpg

Runner Ups: Outland, Sonic Generations, Infamous 2, Dead Space 2, AC Revelations, HOTD: Overkill

I added one to many games to my list so I got 11. Once again another huge collection of excellent games, hard to pick a top ten as there were so many excellent games. The high end though stopped being used as I don't think Zelda SS is as great as past GOTY winners. This is the last excellent year of the gen, next is the decline into the crap years at the end of the generation. We should have gone next gen right after this.
