Unbelievable that Assassin's Creed never won a Game of the Year award (lemy.nl)

So I was checking Game of the year list on Wikipedia and noticed that Assassin’s Creed was never Game of the Year.

Not on any list around the world did it reach the top. The first one felt very fresh, but it just did not feel complete. But the 2nd one was just an amazing game and that one got beaten on some lists by Uncharted 2 which is understandable, but also by Batman: Arkham Asylum which is basically inspired by AC.

Maybe they should just ditch the whole Animus plot. I wished that Valhalla and Black Flag were just about being a Viking and a Pirate

You're right about AC2, especially since it's a relatively quiet year for hits (2009) so getting a nomination shouldn't have been that hard. That said, it has a lot to do with who is voting, money spent on promoting the game, etc., and I'm not sure it would have won GotY even though it might even end up on some people's top games of all time.

Fun fact, apparently same year Minecraft released. Lol (I looked up a list, that and LittleBigPlanet are my favorite of the year).
