OH GOD CHAD!! Why would you put a link to that picture?!?! My eyes, they burn now.
Also, as much as I wanted SMG to win, I kinda figured Bioshock would pull out the win. It's a worthy candidate.

If not for shady business practices the game you would be announcing instead would be System Shock 3.
"the game never held your hand"
That's because your hands were chained... and that's all I have to say about that.

Personally I'm torn between Orange Box and Super Mario Galaxy for my "personal" GotY.
If you want to play a game better than Bioshock go pick up System Shock 2...it's way better.

I think the fact that I've played the utterly average Halo 3 more than this nonsense is testament to its mediocrity.
@neiltc13
The fact that you play Halo 3 enables me and hopefully others to throw your opinion to the side.
Im just happy that CoD4 didn't win. Now who wants cake?!?

@Sheep - "That's because your hands were chained... and that's all I have to say about that."
Oh, like any linear game. Neet. Next time you decide to post, don't be so fucking stupid. You probably thought it should to go TEH HALOZ 3!!!!11!1!
@neiltc - I think it's a testament to YOUR mediocrity.
@Shadow - Incorrect. Bioshock is in fact better. What makes bioshock isn't really the gameplay, for me. I mean, it's original, it controls wonderfully, (much better than SS2), but the thing that makes Bioshock GOTY is the world it's set it, and the story it follows. Though I know you haven't finished it, who would ever finish a game they thought was bad? But you can't actually comment on it until you've seen it's exciting conclusion. Confronting Andrew Ryan is one of the most compelling moments in the whole of the videogaming pantheon. SS2 had nothing like that.

I'm confused. Why are people naming this choice right or wrong? It's neither, it's a tallied result from a series of ballots. No one is right or wrong, it's all a matter of personal choice. Just because you have a different choice doesn't mean that ours is wrong.

I disagree. Bioshock had little replay value where Mass Effect was different each time you played it. Mass Effect would have been my GoTY closely followed by Orange Box and CoD4.
I am a very ADD gamer. I love games, but rarely ever finish them. I even find the episodes of HL2 to be just right in length. The point is, I was compelled enough by Bioshock to finish it; and for me, thats saying something.
@Querty - You didn't play through harvesting all the sisters, did you? There's nothing lifetime about THAT ending.
Deserving, i fucking loved Bioshock.. with any luck they will make a 2nd or another FPS with the same attention to detail and atmosphere
Well played

@TheStripe:
Bioshock is not "in fact" better, it's your opinion. SS2 had plenty of better moments than meeting Andrew Ryan, such as meeting Polito who turned out to be Shodan.
I did in fact beat Bioshock and purchased the collector's edition. Your ignorant fanboyishness is what makes you say such stupid things. You claim I called Bioshock bad in which I never said anything remotely like that. It's a great game but highly overrated and I still feel SS2 is far superior. Stop making assumptions since it makes you look like an ignorant fool, and feel free to check my achievements next time so you aren't talking out of your ass, I beat it shortly after release and picked it up the day of release. I was very excited for it.

@brainderailment:
Apparently you haven't played System Shock 2, it and Bioshock are VERY different. What the hell are you fucking smoking?

I agree, although this year was by far one of the hardest years to pick. There was so many good games this year it's overwhelming.

my retort: what game where you playing?

TheStripe - Bravo, took the words right out of my mouth. When taken from start to finish, Bioshock's storyline was far and above anything we've previously seen in videogaming, including System Shock. For this, it deserves GOTY.
Don't agree. After I was done playing it for the first time and the hype wore down, I played through it a second time and thought while still a AAA title by any means, it isn't GOTY in my view.
Bioshock had such a lame fucking ending I don't know how you can call it an exciting conclusion. I feel the SETUP for the story was fantastic, but I feel they wasted the potential that they had.
Yeah, let me mention that before you accuse me of even more shit, I saw both endings as well. The "good" ending was probably the better one overall...I guess. It's like picking the lesser of two evils because they both sucked.
Congrats to Bioshock. It is the game most liked by most people and as such, wins.
I no longer have to poop in your shoes :-P

@BabyRus:
It isn't on Steam but you can download it for free from http://www.the-underdogs.info/. The game is pretty much impossible to purchase legally due to the fact that it has been out of print for ages.

"No one is right or wrong, it's all a matter of personal choice."
Bioshock was friggin great, dont know if I would personally consider it game of the Year, but again, from a technical and storyline stand point. It was definitely a contender.
Although I cant help but think you had a hand in swaying some votes Miss Bennett. I know Id stick a fork in my retinas if you asked me nicely.
And to everyone else who is hating on Bioshock, get over it. At least HALO didnt win. THAT would be a fucking travesty.

I knew that no matter which game won, there would be complaints, but that's just the way the internet goes.
I can see why people would choose Bioshock to win, but it really isn't my pick. I had way more fun with Super Mario Galaxy and The Orange Box than I did with Bioshock. Still though, congrats to Bioshock.
@ Colette
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's all about people's preferences. And I could see why Bioshock was people's number one. No other game has had three words make such an emotional impact on me; "would you kindly."
@Mr Junko
And what if Halo did win? What if Halo was people's favorite? Halo certainly isn't my game of the year, but it's in my top. Before I thought things through, it was my number one game, and there should be nothing wrong with that at all.
My list:
1.Orange Box
2.Bioshock (Despite the fact that I haven't re-played it)
3.Halo 3
4.Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (I never played it on PSOne so it's fair)
5.CoD 4
