CountChocula writes Fallout: New Vegas has won Best RPG in the Golden Joystick Awards. The Witcher 2 and Dragon Age 2 took out second and third places, apparently.

I'm kind of curious how many games they considered in the running and what the cut off month was. Even if you go with all RPGs available in the year, that could be a grey area due to some games having staggered dates between regions.
I concur. I'm happy for Fallout NV but it was released last year. The runner ups were released this year. Unless there counting the dlc.
It came out after Golden Joystick 2010. It's as simple as that, honestly.
So, seeing how most of these awards are being given out well before the end of year, all the games released during holiday season shouln't be competing at all? Don't be silly.Who cares it was released last year so it shouldn't be part of the 2011 vote. It's as simple as that honestly but thank you for the answer.
I would give it to Witcher 2, but NV is amazing RPG too, so I can not be dissapointed. I am just glad Dragon Age 2 did not win..
That's what I've planned to say… You've beat me.
The real questioon here would be how DA2 got nominated in the first place and where is DX:HR since they don't care what year a game was released?

EDIT:
GOTY is Portal 2… I admit I didn't play that one. Any input is it really better than FO:NV and TW2?
I don't think it is fair to compare New Vegas and Witcher 2 on the bases of the story and rpg elements alone. New Vegas used the existing engine and the know-how of fallout 3 which allowed them to focus more on the story (which Obsidian already have strength in from previous fallout games). In the case of Witcher 2, they had totally a new engine, new fighting mechanics in addition to the new story (not to mention the Premium package that the game came with) and the continuous support from CDProjekt. So it is not fair to compare the two on the bases of gameplay and story alone. Considering all of these aspects, Witcher 2 wins easily.
