No other game was like U2, in scale, gameplay, voice acting, visuals everything. It deserves to win.

Judging by the entries I assume Mass Effect 2 was too late in the year. A shame. Game of the year choices are pretty weak, Assassin's Creed II was pretty terrible.

Yeah Uncharted 2 has to be one of my favorite games of all time. it has the best story that ive played. no other games can compare. mw2 campaign was **** compared to this.
