By far hands down the best story I've played all year. Leaps and bounds above the first game in how it draws you in and makes you want to be that character. The length of the game is perfect and the ending is absolutely fantastic. All in all besides a few gameplay glitches it's a perfect game.
What's everyone else's thoughts?

Yeah it's good. It's not often I buy 360 games but this one has been fun so far. Honestly though I'm hoping I can return it by the time I beat it 'cause I'm not sure there's any replay value.
While I have yet to play Assasin's Creed 2 (it sits unwrapped as I feed my MW2 multiplayer obsession) I have heard, watched, and read many good things about it. As far as offline game of the year, I think Uncharted 2 has that locked up with Batman Arkham Asylum a somewhat close second and my sleeper hit of the year Borderlands with a lonnnng shot to win it.
I dunno, Batman was a great game and a worthy contender but Assassin's Creed 2 hit all the right notes for me. Unfortunately I don't have a PS3 so I can't give a comparison to Uncharted 2.

Well, Spike picked Uncharted 2 last night, glad to see it win. AC2 was picked over Batman AA and Uncharted 2 for best action/adventure...which is surprising that UC2 can win GOTY but lose to AC2 in another category. I played AC2 for a little bit, looks great, but just haven't been able to get into it (I heard the first couple of hours are slow, so maybe I need to give it a little more time.)
Ghen, I agree, it did look they wanted to spread the love at the awards so no one felt left out...kind of like when I always won the "team spirit" award as a kid.
Woo hoo! My wife let me open a present early! I picked the small thin rectangular present that happened to look like a dvd Modern warfare 2 and AC2. I didn't open AC2 because I wasn't sure about it. No online is kind of a bummer for me. I think I might trade it for Uncharted 2 because it has multiplayer. Any suggestions?

AC2 is good if you're looking to get immersed in a game. I don't usually buy games anyway, and this one was the first one I've ever bought to be 'immersed' in and ...it was satisfying. Just my 2 cents.
Assassin's Creed 2 offline game of the year 
Modern warfare 2 and AC2. I didn't open AC2 because I wasn't sure about it. No online is kind of a bummer for me. I think I might trade it for Uncharted 2 because it has multiplayer. Any suggestions?
