The Top 5 GotY winners for 2012

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Ok, well I think it is safe to say nearly all the websites, magazines, and award shows that have a GotY award have given them out by now. This site accumulates virtually every GotY award given in a specific year(even FAN's own GotY winners have been included for 2011 and 2012).

And so the Top 5 games to win GotY awards are:

1) The Walking Dead - 73 awards
2) Journey - 53 awards
3) Dishonored - 47 awards
4) Far Cry 3 - 45 awards
5) Mass Effect 3 - 31 awards

FAN's 2012 GotY winner, Borderlands 2 placed 6th overall with 26 awards.

So, yeah, once again the Spike VGAs serve the only purpose I put into them(besides the trailers shown). The VGA GotY winner has for another year in a row since 2009 been the lion's share winner of GotY awards overall.

Walking Dead proved that incredible writing can make a game.

Mass Effect 3 proved that no matter how incredible the first 95% of your game is, the last 5% can totally invalidate all that awesomeness for most people.

f*** yea, The Walking Dead and Journey were both the absolute bomb.

And my personal pick for 2012, Hotline Miami, is nowhere in sight. :-(

I did finally get myself The Walking Dead on Steam but my computer isn't quite up to snuff to run it without a few hiccups, so that sucks.

I thought Dishonoured was turrible. Awful stealth and nasty art style.

Really ? Stealth worked fine for me.

Especially in TWD's case. The gameplay was terrible even for an Adventure Game, but the writing was exceptional.
