Game that deserves it? Deus Ex HR.
Game that will unfortunately get it? Fallout 3... I mean Oblivion... I mean Skyrim.

Well that's not quite fair. You have to play the game yourself, especially given all the praise given to the gameplay and motion controlls.Denariax said:

While Skyrim will likely win - I do wish to point something out.
Minecraft does officially release this year.
And it is My GOTY.

Over 50% of the votes to Skyrim, with the closest contender being shy of 15%?
Yeah, Bethesda have this in the bag.
Human Revolution's issues are mostly skill related, and boss fight related. In both cases, they took choice away from the player - the exact opposite of what Deus Ex is all about. If I Sneak/Hack my way through the game, I can get every skill upgrade bar 2. If I shoot my way through, I get less than half of them. The system is so heavily shifted to one side that it breaks it. If you're not stealthing your way through, you're doing it wrong. It's an amazing game, and in any other year it'd take the title hands down, but it's fault run at ends with what the game stands for.
Skyrim's faults are technical in nature, and are easily overlooked due to the sheer quality of the experience on offer. Not only did it meet expectations, it somehow managed to exceed them. That's not something to be taken lightly.
Pitting the Elder Scrolls against Deus Ex is an insane fight. Unfortunately, Human Revolution was the first effort by a new team, new to the series. Skyrim was the result of 15 years worth of teamwork.

For as incredible as Deus Ex: Human Revolution is, and believe me I'm a big fan of Deus Ex (yes, even Invisible War), Human Revolution can't really compare to something like Skyrim, which does a lot of what Human Revolution tried to do.Ubermetalhed said:

I'm going to completely ignore that a game of the year is something that appeals to the majority (or at least a high percentage) of gamers and voted based on niche appeal.
Other: Disgaea 4
I'm a sucker for the Disgaea series...

Each of those games will likely be labeled "Game of the Year" by a one of the many popular, integrity-free gaming publications. A less pointless question is of the best game, which I guess is probably the official release of Minecraft, if that counts. If not, maybe Bastion on the kusblah.
Probably Skyrim because these things are fairly predictable.
I haven't played any of the games listed yet, but one game I'd seriously consider for Game of the Year would be inFAMOUS 2. That game was really really good.

Because they're the same thing /trollolololJegsimmons said:
Real answer: I don't know why. Another Escapist showed me the glory and art that is C4 trolling in BF3 and I've watched the video 10+ times. I don't know about MW3, but BF3 actually looks like a damn good time. And this is coming from someone who, up until now, had not even a passing interest in online FPS.
