Thanks for putting this together again this year! I'll be posting my list shortly! 
1. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty ; I'm not even a huge rts fan, I mean I was one back in the day of the original starcraft and age of empires. The RTS that came out after that didn't really appeal to me so I see this as a return to form. The game feels incredibly deep and very balanced considering there are 3 completely distinct races. It just a blast to play, managing micro and macro to come out on top is very satisfying and watching pro gamers play this game is not only helpful in bettering your own game but also incredibly entertaining. I see myself playing this game for a very long, long time.
2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ; People always talk about "WOW" moments in video games, most of the moments they will mention come from a scripted single player experience, (games like uncharted 2 are a perfect example). BC2 is full of those moments but they come in a completely unscripted multiplayer setting, and each time its something different. Some of the moments I've experienced with this game were so incredibly intense that afterwards I felt like sitting back and lighting up a cigarette. Combine all that with great graphics, AMAZING sounds, fun gunplay and balanced multi-player and you've got a winner.
3. Gran Turismo 5 ; I'm a bit of a car sim nut so despite all of the problems this game has, like grinding, lack of features on launch (still no real time trial leader-boards PD!) , shitty career mode; it's able to win me over by sheer brute force. Soo many beautifully rendered cars, so many tracks and the addition competent physics is what made me love this game despite it's many many flaws. This is a game I see myself coming back to again and again to run time trials with exotic and not-so exotic cars and have 1 on 1 battles with my friend. A must buy for anyone with a ps3 who's even slightly interested in driving games.
x. Call of Duty: Black Ops ; Same old COD gameplay with new weapons and guns, which to me is actually a good thing as I enjoy COD mp quite a bit. The really poor state of the game upon release (pc version) left a bitter taste in my mouth, and while the very recent patch seems to have cleared up most of the problems; the buggy release is what makes this an honorable mention and not my #4.
x. Civilization 5 : I haven't played this game too much, in fact only 12 hours which is nothing when it comes to a civ game. I know it has its problems especially with AI but I feel like fraxis moved in the right direction with the series. The new combat system is fantastic and I prefer the new civics system as well. I know that many people are very disappointed in 5 but I'm sure that after some patches and expansions they too will come around.

1. Gran Turismo 5 ; Far from perfect game but a near perfect driving experience
2. Mass Effect 2 ; Best character and art direction this gen makes up for meh gameplay
3. Heavy Rain ; Amazing emotional response despite the story and voice acting
4. Final Fantasy 13 ; Stupid and linear, beautiful and addictive
5. God of War 3 ; Perhaps my least favorite of the trilogy, but still delivered epic moments
A year of flawed but awesome games. Still need to get to Reach, Vanquish, Enslaved, AC:B and Castlevania.

The main one is the semicolon... that one is really pretty crucial. The others are really for simplicity's sake... we're still picking them up, it just makes it easier on us when people use the correct formatting.
ICallItFutile, I really appreciate what you're doing, but if you could limit those lists to just the people not using the semicolon it would make it a lot easier (and a shorter, more directed list). I'll be going through later and sending PMs to the main offenders.
Or yeah, just update the one list and link back to it
The updates on people not using semicolons is helpful though. Maybe just update with the last page's worth of people not using semicolons.NullPointer

Gottcha. The only reason I was posting the whole list on each page was because I thought some people might gloss over the link.

I don't know that it would help but it may help diminish incorrect formats.
Games of the Year 2010
1. Mass Effect 2 ; Improvement and streamline of the original. Fantastic story, music, and most of all one of the best endings to a game ever.
2. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood ; Phenomenal expansion to an already great game.
3. Darksiders ; As cliche as it is, the best Zelda game since Link to the Past.
4. StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty ; Perhaps a little biased, but I was always more into that old RTS formula.
5. God of War 3 ; Improved on gameplay, same slash mechanic.
6. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West ; The gamplay and camera might be a little rough, but the style is fantastic. Love all the facial animations.
7. Skate 3 ; Big step up from Skate 2/1, world is brighter, more fun to play in.
8. Just Cause 2 ; One of the best/fun open world games I've ever played. GTA be damned.
9. Rock Band 3 ; Good improvements on an already fantastic formula.
10. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit ; Haven't had this much fun with NFS since Porshe Unleashed.
Honorables
x. Super Meat Boy ; Too overly difficult for my taste, but I respect what it is.
x. Dante's Inferno ; Great God of War clone, it just doesn't quite get there.

x. Dante's Inferno ; Great God of War clone, it just doesn't quite get there.
1. Fallout: New Vegas ; Buggy and ugly as sin. Despite that, this game manages to sink its claws into you and won't let go. A major improvement over Fallout 3, this game reignited my passion for Obsidian RPG's, and I'm eager to see how they'll expand this game.
2. Red Dead Redemption ; A fantastic and memorable game, with a main character that's easy to like. One blemish is that the game is filled with too many lowlifes and degenerates which is fatiguing, but other than that, it's a top-notch game and much better than GTA4.
3. God of War 3 ; Despite some weak parts in the latter half of the game, this amazingly good-looking game revitalized the GoW franchise in my eyes and is simply pure fun. At its strongest, no game this year could even come close to it.
4. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood ; A solid improvement over the second game, which was already really good. Despite a stupid story, the additional elements in this part helps to flesh out the game very well.
5. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ; The best multi-player game I've played in a while. Fast, frenetic and thunderous, the game really manages to paint a war scenario.
6. StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty ; Even though I don't play this game online at all, I really liked the meaty single-player campaign, and liked the story that was presented despite being aware that the long-time fans found it disappointing. The best pure RTS game ever, I'd say.
7. Gran Turismo 5 ; Full of minor faults, this game can easily drain you of your patience. But when it works, it WORKS. A fantastic driving model easily overshadows many of the smaller blemishes, and with PD's efficient patching as of late, the game has a promising future.
8. Mass Effect 2 ; I would have never expected such an improvement over the first game, which was a mediocre game at best. The game dropped many of the underdeveloped and cumbersome RPG-lite elements and focused on what it does best, character interaction and providing great scenarios for you to thunder through.
9. Vanquish ; At first, I didn't find this game to appealing. But after playing through it 3 times, I can definitely say it's one of the best 3rd person shooters ever. The frenetic action the game is doing well is undoubtedly unique in the gaming world, and I hope they find ways to expand on this in the future.
10. Yakuza 3 ; At times very cumbersome and old-school (lack of voices, WTF), it still provides a shitton to do, and the storyline is engaging enough to sustain your interest for ~40 hours. A unique addition to the current console gaming world.
x. Heavy Rain ; While I was very down on the ending, in hindsight, I still had some genuine fun with this game. A bold attempt to do something new in the gaming world, it might not have succeeded in many's eyes, but it still provided an experience I didn't regret.
x. BioShock 2 ; I thought this game would be a lackluster cash-in sequel, but lo and behold, I liked it a lot more than the first game.
x. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit ; A very fun car game that becomes exponentially better when you hit the online mode. Too bad the extreme rubberbanding in the single-player mode sucks much of the fun out of the game.
x. 3D Dot Game Heroes ; A very fun and charming game that thrives on its nostalgic effect. The game provides a ton of content should you decide to sink your teeth into it.
x. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat ; There aren't many games that do atmosphere better than the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. A great sequel, but unfortunately many small annoyances piled up and made me quit this game. It was great while it lasted though.

you can stop listing me, ICallItFutile. i won't edit my post or change my vote. the pc version of assassin's creed 2 is on my goty list, it came out this year, i played it this year. none of the idiotic, braindead rules or their stubborn interpretation will make me change my vote.
assassin's creed 2 on pc falls under (according to the op):
- New games released to your region this year (can be retail only or downloadable).
even if you want to count it as a port or upgrade or whatever it counts:
- Remakes and visible upgrades count too.
if you wanna look at it that way, assassin's creed 2 is WITHOUTH A DOUBT a visible upgrade over the console version. if you want proof, just look at the screenshots evilore posted a couple of weeks ago.
- Revisions released for the first time on a console or handheld this year (must be a retail version and not downloadable).
i don't know what the hell "revisions" are supposed to be and why the pc as a platform has curiously been omitted from this point, but clearly, if it hadn't been so obviously FORGOTTEN, and this would read:
- Revisions released for the first time on a console or handheld or the pc this year (must be a retail version and not downloadable).
assassin's creed 2 would HAVE to count too.
- Ports that amount to "ROM dumps", i.e., ports with no additional content or significant changes, are not allowed.
if you know anything about pc gaming and assassin's creed 2 in particular, you'd realize that this isn't anywhere close to a "rom dump".
assassin's creed 2 hasn't been released ANYWHERE else in this form. the console versions aren't in the same league visually. much higher resolution textures, better shaders and improved visuals overall should be enough for the game to qualify. unlike something like portal on the mac, which is a straight port of a 3 year old game, that was released in the same exact form on pc already.

You don't even need that, if everyone copy+pastes (as they seem to be doing) the game name than you can run a regular expression on each newline against every game name, see if there is a match and if there is record the location of that match. Then for every match, check for the earliest occurrence of the matched string and that becomes the game the user voted for. You don't even need to number the lines as the script should know the position of each line of text.
so even something like :
"Battlefield: Bad Company 2 : IT'S much better than Call of Duty: Black Ops"
will parse
not saying any of this NEEDS to be done, but maybe something to consider for next year to help smooth things along.
well, cheesemeister keeps insisting that it doesn't count:Haunted said:

Calm down, I included AC2 for PC in the games list, (listed as "Assassin's Creed 2 (PC)") at least for now, and will be clarifying this rule going forward.
Edit: that list looks much more manageable, ICallItFutile I'll just start sending out PMs about it, probably starting tomorrow.
