Nice one guys!

No Witcher 2 mentioned?

Good question. According to the game's DR, you need a fixer to run it in Eyefinity which rules it out.

Voted Croteam and... Dungeon Siege 3.
The whole Serious Sam HD & BFE series deserves a huge thumbs up, but DS3 was this year's biggest surprise for me.

IW is a lost cause, so hopefully a big fat Narrow-Minded Award will help Bethesda pull themselves together and realize multi-mon support is important to RPG fans !!

Sorry but this poll is way to small of a selection. Which gives the impression of steering.

The widescreen game of the year is Batman easily the best complete experience. I think we are bogged down to much in gui support to miss to what extent the art work shines brilliantly in widescreen,
Gotham city in widescreen brings to the table what a breathtaking immersion can bring to immersion levels! A revolutionary experience! ( this coming from someone who was so bored to tears by arkham asylum that was not able to get past the midway point.

Also, nothing as insulting to the wsg community this year than the banning by Blizzard. The Narrow Minded Award definitely needs to go to Blizzard, Diablo commiting the same sins definitely is a day 1 no buy!

Speaking of DAY 1.
bECAUSE OF LOSING kONAMI contract Day 1 studios has layed off a majority of it's workforce!
Merry Xmas!

I don't believe I am nitpicking but this poll is way to narrow to be representative of a fair consideration.

sorry.

There is still something wrong when we rule out what was a compelling experience when played in multi monitor surround, Witcher 2 is easily the most underated major release this year. Definitely Goty material.

In order for a game to of made it into the game of the year list, it must be gold certificated and have near perfect multi-monitor support. So for example the HUD must be centred and in the cash of batman, the game shouldn't swap to vert- at any point.

You'll notice that Battlefield 3 is missing from the GotY list as well. Remember this site has a strong focus on getting proper support for both widescreen and multi-monitor systems, the sites awards are also designed to reflect and reward this.

Not mentioning Portal 2 on this forum is a near-crime.
The game is one of the most original games I played these last 20 (!!) years.
It worked instantly on my 5040x1050 triple screen setup without having to configure a single setting, using all possible graphical options and enhancements the game provides.

Nevertheless, I'll cast my vote.

Thanks for your reply.

Portal 2 may definitely be an awesome game to play, but according to the games DR, the HUD is spanned and the crosshairs disappear on multi-monitor setups, needing a community fix.

We want the winner to have widescreen and surround support that is the standard every game should achieve, and this is why Portal 2 didn't make it into the GOTY voting.
