I say yes. There have been some great games out this year, but the Walking Dead is a different kind of game. It evokes emotion, and really got me invested and connected to the characters. Not many other games can boast that feat.
I don't include downloadable games in my GOTYs because they tend to have more creative freedom and don't need to worry about media, But I can say it is one of the most enjoyable game experiences this year.
Nope, Black Ops II takes that honor, of course. Best game EVAR!!
You're joking right? I enjoyed Black Ops II as much as the next guy, and I'm glad they decided to actually change things in that game, but damn, it does not deserve game of the year.
Maybe not game of the entire year, but this one will definately be one of the more memorable ones. TTG deserves at least SOME kind of award for this fantastic game.

I think so too. Let's hope enough people voted for it rather than Halo 4 :O
On Spike's VGA 2012 Halo 4 isn't nominated for Game of the Year. It's Assassin's Creed 3, Dishonored, Journey, Mass Effect 3, and The Walking Dead. I think it has a pretty good chance of winning.
Skyrim got Game of the Year from multiple organisations and websites, and it was barely playable for a lot of PS3 users, between save issues, glitches, lack of DLC and stuff.
I think this game deserved to be the game of the year. For me it is the most interesting game since 2008, when the Grand Theft Auto 4 came out. And the best adventure game that I have ever played. I know, this game has some bugs and another technical issues,but the whole story is just so amazing , this game has all chances to become the game of the 2012.
It's one of the better games I played in 2012 - yes. Top3 definately. The only thing that has been bothering me since the beginning and I have posted countless times is the lack of impact on choices.
For me I have to give #1 to Dishonered, but TWD is close.
For this year, it is by far the best game of the year, every other game I have played has been released with some nasty bugs, so for me the technical issues do not hold it back.
Assassins Creed was good and had decent gameplay but its story was garbage and nonsensical, its voice acting was horrible, AC3 had some nasty bugs I came across,
ME3 was a good third person shooter but I had played better, the voice acting was good, but the story is riddled with plot holes even before the ending, and then of course the ending and the space magic, it had some nasty game crashing bugs, and personally I disagree with every choice the developers made while making the game, oh and did I mention the end.
HALO 4 was a decent experience for sure, but after the last few titles released under its flag, anything would have been good, the gameplay was probably the best of the year, but it wasn't the best year for great gameplay.
Journey was amazing, but it comes in second to TWD
COD BLOPS, didn't play it, wont play, hallelujah!
Max Payne, I found it disapointing, but the voice acting is great and the only title that approaches TWD's voice acting
Dishonored, still haven't played and I need to remedy this.

Game of the Year!
Game of the eternity.
Yeah
You're joking right? I enjoyed Black Ops II as much as the next guy, and I'm glad they decided to actually change things in that game, but damn, it does not deserve game of the year.
I think this should get an award
This. I hope Dave and Melissa win those categories.
Also, yea, it's my GOTY. It's one of the only games that made me care for most of the Characters, and it's the only game that made me shed tears
I've bought and played at least 5 games this year, and....
YUP
Exactly, totally agree with that.
Voting for them everyday so hopefully they get the awards they deserved ^-^
Story of the year? Yes.
The technical issues keep it out of the top spot.
Best voice acting ever as well
SHOOTERS FOR GOTY? No. JUST NO.
Skyrim got Game of the Year from multiple organisations and websites, and it was barely playable for a lot of PS3 users, between save issues, glitches, lack of DLC and stuff.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY EYESSSSS.
