As promised, we've compiled the entire AusGamers editorial team's top picks for the year of 2010 in gaming. And since we have an expanded contributor roster, there's a pretty good array of differentiation throughout.
However, there is at least one mainstay throughout and that is Mass Effect 2, which is clearly an unchallenged leader for overall Game of the Year across the board. It won out yesterday in our Reader's Choice category, and clearly wins out today amongst the editors (with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 coming in second). Who knows, maybe it'll make a surprise entry in tomorrow's Game of the Decade category.

Is it a crime for me not having played any of them nor do i intend to?
I just don't have the patience for RPG's, and the fact that it's so sci-fi makes me put it in the 'meh' basket.
I do feel like i need to at least give it a go.
Oh and I haven't even touched RDR yet :/

Unanimous means they all voted it No 1.
Majority means most voted it No 1.
Unaimous fail by MatchFixah....

Not yet Steve, I'm working my way through #3 first. I've heard good things about it.

i was meaning to say majority but thought unanimously sounded cooler without thinking about it.

good to see something that deserves to be at number 1 there =)

I still haven't finished ME1 yet been meaning to pick it up and play it so i can see how good ME2 is.
Good to see Darksiders up in there that game was fantastic filled the hole that only Ocarina of time could.

I played the first installment after succumbing to the hype, but found it boring and the quality of the graphics were pretty damn bad for max settings. So I stopped playing after about 20 minutes of killing s***, and then found myself at the end of a walkway thing with nowhere to go, kicked the bucket and never played it again.
I have been very critical of the Mass Effect games now, and it really pisses off my ME playing mates. I've been so critical as to say; "Mass Effect is probably the worst thing to happen to this planet, it's over rated console ported rubbish that is so bad that the entire development studio needs to be burnt to the ground and pissed on by yours truly. Oh and the graphics f*cking suck."
... or something along those lines.
BUT I have an announcement to make.
After finding out that i actually enjoy Fallout 3 and NV after getting bored by FO3 by the time I got out of the Vault, I think i'll just give Mass Effect 2 a chance. I've been selfish and horrid, and I think anything that doesn't have a "Kingdom Hearts", "Blizzard Entertainment" or "DICE" on the box is a bad game.
I WILL PLAY MASS EFFECT 2.

I did try it again though, and I was glad that I did. After you sink a little time into it, the story starts picking up and I found the game really starts to shine. After finishing ME1, I was straight into ME2 and... that was it. My love of the series was cemented.
I don't think playing ME1 is necessary for ME2, but knowing the background on the characters and the universe does add a lot to the experience.

then sued my me1 character for a 2nd playthrough of me2. Which was awesome cause some of the decisions u make in me1 have consiquences in me2
