Game of the Year ’09 Contenders

Brutal Gamers GoTY contenders for 2009.

What a year it has been for gamers, we’ve seen crappy games sell millions while full blown AAA-titles barely scratch 100,000 units, plus thousands of hard working game developers be hired and fired.

We’re nearing the end of 2009, meaning it’s time for our Game of the Year nominees to see the light of day. Over the past 1-2 months we’ve been discussing what should be in our list of games which have the potential to be Brutal Gamer’s Game of the Year. All categories are down to 4-5 titles each now, and here they are ladies and gentlemen, who do you think should win?
