What does GOTY mean

GOTY stands for "Game of the Year".

Various popular publications announce their picks for best video games each year, such as "Best Role Playing Game", "Best Action Game", "Best Shooter Game", and "Best Puzzle Game".

Some companies and distributors use these awards as marketing tools and re-release their award-winning games with additional content and special packaging to commemorate the award. Thus if you try to purchase a very popular game from a few years ago, you might find that you have multiple options -- you can buy the regular edition or the "GOTY Edition".

And also GIRL of the year. American Girl Talk, Haha! Love, Laniefan52
