Have you ever had a retrospective game of the year? Ever played a (personal) Game of the Year after its year?
Two of mine last generation were Assassin's Creed II and Red Dead Redemption. I played both of them in 2011 (didn't complete the latter until two years later). But both were the best games of their respective years, in my opinion. I can't remember what I played that released in 2009 beyond Guitar Hero 5 and ODST (oh, Left 4 Dead 2...), but ACII was the tops.
Same goes for 2010. Not a lot of highlights besides lolreach and Super Meat Boy, but RDR was a cracker.
What about you guys?

Playing Vampire the masquerade bloodlines. Added an unofficial 1gb patch, some texture mods and did a hex edit on dll to allow 21:9..and the game is as much fun playing now on ultrawide (and looks pretty decent too). Had last played the game over 10 years back...is a fun experience trying to remember stuff now while enjoying the awesome voice acting and story.

Edited by Nihlus: 11/14/2016 1:42:35 AMWhile just short of the year, my pick is Mass Effect 2. I got It a few days after Christmas 2010. It's my favorite game of all time. 2010 delivered two of the greatest games of all time. Hopefully 2017 is the same with MEA and RDR2.

Black Ops came out in 2010, that game was lit

Giantbomb has a GOTY category called "old game of the year". Basically any game that they played a bunch of that didn't come out that year is eligible.

Played AC4 last year and Borderlands 2 this year, both were amazng.

Halo Wars 2 Is The Game Of The Year!

Thought you were gonna say you're leaving. Gears of War 3 was my GOTY for 2011 and 2012. Only game I wanted to play

I played both of the remakes for The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and Twilight Princess this year. They're definitely some of my favorite games.
