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?

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
