Portal 2!

I'm going to guess:

Game of the Year: Either Skyward Sword or Skyrim.
Most anticipated: Diablo 3

I'll be surprised if I'm wrong.

i hate spike. so shovanistic. and i know i spelled that wrong. cheauvanistic? i dunno. mysoginist. did i spell that'n right?

implying anyone cares about the VGAs for reasons other than new game trailers

This.

when does the show start? thanks in advance

Skyward Sword, Mass Effect 3, and NEW BIOWARE GAME HECK YES!!!!!!!

Nope, it's chauvinistic and misogynist. If your web browser doesn't have a spell checker you can always rely on a search engine to help you out.

The Spike VGAs are something of a joke but I'll still say they had better give Batman:AC game of the year.

I can't vote because i haven't played everyone of them. What if i vote SS after finishing it, but haven't played Skyrim or Batman? How could i know that SS is better without completing the other games? These awards are pretty dumb.

Its kind of Sad when the VGA's have better reveals than TGS.

Also when is the NintendoLife awards nominations starting.

GOTY
Batman: Arkham City

Most anticipated game
Halo 4

Mark my words, these games have already won.
If you haven't played Batman: Arkham City, then you don't understand

Truth.

Fixed for ya

Times a shpybillion.

I think Arkham City will win and probably should win, but Zelda and Uncharted should provide some good competition for it. My personal GotY so far is Portal 2, though, unless Zelda can beat it.

I don't care about any of the anticipated games, but I would think Mass Effect 3 is the best game for that award.

Hoping some of the unconfirmed game announcements are really awesome and on a Nintendo platform. That will never happen though so I guess one amazing Steam release would be nice.

My most anticipated game from that list would have to be Bioshock Infinite. Game of the year I can easily see being a toss-up between Arkham City and Skyrim. If enough people get addicted to Skyrim, it will win.

Im sure itll be batman I do like zelda too that game rocks TO ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM I am a nintendo fan but im a gamer first im sick of all these sony fans putting nintendo down This is NINTENDO LIFE YOU MORON!i recall sony saying motion controll was stupid now theyve got "move" and the ps vita I mean come on augmented reality cards, 3d photos, streetpass ( of course they call it something else) sony just seems to improve on nintendos ideas so @backloggery is probably just mad but hey "immatation is the greatest form of flattery" #3DS

Well My phone was doing AR years before the #3DS was. Also the Vita doesn't have 3D photos. I still haven't gotten a streetpass = ( but the vita has foursquare.

At this point I think Batman: Arkham City should get the GOTY award but I see it going to Skyrim or maybe Zelda instead. Most anticipated for me is a tie between Mass Effect 3 and Halo 4.
