Bad Company 2. Single player wasn't as great as Modern Warfare 2 (it didn't have stupid plot twists though), but the multiplayer is so good.

February 2010 Winner: BioShock 2
I'm surprised that Heavy Rain got so few votes last month. BioShock 2 and Espgaluda II were neck-and-neck for a while, but the former won out in the end.
This past month was awesome for games. I'm going to have to hold off on voting since I haven't played half of them as much as I'd really like to. The early standout for me is Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, which a lesser company would have sold as a full-fledged sequel. Sakura Wars is also pretty interesting, though I haven't played it enough to make a judgement call yet.
I've had to make some tough choices as to what should go on the poll. Notable absences are unfortunately many: Resonance of Fate, Red Steel 2, WarioWare D.I.Y., Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising, and Mega Man 10 all didn't quite make the cut.

Mega Man 10 belongs in a garbage can, not a GotM poll
Sakura Wars does not belong on this list.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Ries.
Also as much as I like SMT, GoW3 wins.

Can you take all the stupid shit off the list and just have the option of Deadly Premonition, since no one knew what it was the month it actually came out? SMT can stay, just because SMT is pretty rad.

March was an odd month. I see lots of "major" releases on the list, but almost nothing there interests me at all. I didn't buy any of those yet, and I really only plan to buy Metro 2033 for anything resembling full price. I'm sure I'll wind up with Yakuza 3 on the cheap, and my wife rented Just Cause 2, but I haven't played it.
BC2 easily. Its a balance patch away from GOTY.
