Spawn Kill writes about the upcoming race for this year's GOTY crown, and a few of its main contenders. The article also covers how GOTY is usually determined and how the chances are looking for certain contenders this year. Teabags also reveals his hand, guessing that huge sales will stand for nothing as he hopes Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will rise to the top.

Game of the Year is of course a major topic in gaming that becomes even more significant as each year in gaming comes to a close. At the beginning of the year, a time at which you simply have a list of upcoming games with vague details on each one, you will rarely be able to put your money on the right contender. Now, as the Dark Knight blows kisses to his grateful audience, he leaves the stage for his only rivals to follow within the coming months.

      It's true. Even if MW2 were just a completely carbon copy of the last one, it'll still get it because gaming critics seem to follow hype rather than quality (lookin' at you, SpikeTV VGAs; you even gave Halo 3 its own category just so it could win something).

    Either Uncharted 2 or MW2. Everyone else is just for show.

    I think critics will do something very unexpected when choosing this year. I just have a feeling.

    It's between Uncharted and Modern Warfare 2, with Batman taking third.

    I think it should be Arkham Asylum. It probably won't be, but at the very least it should place as second or even third.

    Haven't played Modern Warfare.
