Hoping for Deus Ex. But in all honesty most of the games up there will win a whole bunch of GOTY awards from a many different magazines and websites etc.

If Bioware does it well (which I'll admit they're sounding like they will), Mass Effect 3 takes the cake. Judging by the previous sequels released by Bioware though, ME3 will probably do what it says it will, in all the wrong ways for many fans of the series. And IMO, Bioware is excellent at selling their games before release (With trailers and such), and they don't always compare with what the player gets shown.
For this reason I've voted BF3. First game in a long time to be developed for PC first, and consoles second, and it looks like it might innovate the realistic FPS market (like many of the other FPSs coming out this year). Plus, we've seen gameplay footage. With ME3, we haven't seen a lot.
Still, I'm trusting (Maybe foolishly) that Bioware will do the right thing with ME3, and I'll be getting it regardless.

Skyrim. Hands-down. It has a lot going for it so far - and Morrowind and Oblivion were both GOTY.

You seem to have forgotten TES 5: Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Dungeon Siege 3 and Diablo 3.

Impossible to answer anyway. We haven't seen any of the games I mentioned. DA2 was awful, though, and The Escapist ought to be ashamed of their review. It is so blatantly off, that I wonder if the reviewer actually played the game for more than 15 minutes.

I said "other" simply because there are too many of these games that haven't come out (and some we know little about) to be able to legitimately make that decision. Mass Effect 3, for example, could be fantastic, or it could be a steaming pile of crap. We can make guesses, but its still too early to tell. So for now, I'm abdicating my vote.

There is a reason the Call of Duty formula is so successful - it's incredibly popular and addictive. I agree with you that most modern shooters feel too similar but there is a reason for it. It pretty much guarantees good sales and reviews (note I said good not great).

And fair enough if you don't like GTA but you have to admit that they must be doing something right if they have been successful enough to spawn as many games as they have
It's successful because it's popular, and that makes it okay?
It's fraud.

I do admit that my dislike for Modern Warfare was personal.
My dislike for all the IDENTICAL FUCKING CLONES are objective and unbiased.

You payed $60 for Modern Warfare. Fine.
Then you (maybe not you but somebody) payed $60 for MW 2, Battlefield Bad Company, Home-front, Black Ops, Killzone, Metal of Honor and a million others that I'm forgetting.
Those games are all identical down to the chest high walls, the five hour campaign, the rail shooter vehicle sections, the linear level design, the pop-up-shooting-gallery levels, the broken multyplayer.

And no one notices this!
Or if they do they don't do anything about it.

Developer: "You like Modern Warfare. Can I have $60?"
Player: "Do I have to pay you to keep playing Modern Warfare?"
Developer: "No, but I do want your money."
Player: "Well...okay."
Developer: "Can we charge you again every year from now on?"
Player: "That sounds fair."

The Call of Duty franchise and all of it's bastard clones need to die and you know what?
That won't effect your ability to play Modern Warfare in the slightest.
