Skyrim, no contest. Head and shoulders above everything else in what was all round a fucking awesome year for games.
All you people talking about Skyrim should just remember that a Pokémon game came out this year as well.
But you don't have to choose, you can pick both....

Won't be playing Skyward Sword until like January, but I'm already nervous about how motion controls are used (particularly flying the bird.) So my enthusiasm went down for that, even though people are saying it's a really amazing game.
So it's definitely gonna be Skyrim. I'm having a blast, and I've already put 40 hours in, which is ridiculous for a game that's been out a week. (Granted, 7 or 8 of those hours was the game on pause while I went and ate dinner or whatever, but still, 30+ hours in a week is silly.)

Nope. I'm being serious. I really do love Dragon Age 2. It's easily my favorite game.Hardcore_racist said:
I'm honestly not sure what my favourite is. This has been the best year for games for a while, best since 2007 at least.
Portal 2 was incredibly funny, smart and well written. Undoubtly the best story for this year, and possibly the best art design. The co-op was great and the puzzles were a lot of the fun, the only down side being that it might be too easy. But I just can't forget the best ending to a game EVAR!
Arkham City blew me away completely. The combat is some of the best combat I've ever experienced in a game, hands down. The story was really well told too, and there were just so many "holy shit!" moments, especially the villain surprises. As a comic book nut it was a dream come true, now all we need is Rocksteady to get their arse on that Superman game. This game blew my mind, now all I can think is Batman.
And I'm playing Skyrim right now and I've probably played as much as both the other 2 games combined and I still haven't even brushed the surface. This game is incredible. This is coming from someone who has problems with Fallout 3 and loathed Oblivion, this game is just so, so good! The world is fansinating (unlike Oblivions fantasy world 101), the exploration is fantastic, the character leveling system is the best I have ever seen in an RPG. With a game this large there are little problems; combat isn't brilliant and there are other niggerling problems like bugs and the still odd looking people. But with a game this big it's hard to hold much against it, and more than any game I have played in a very long time it's worth every single penny. I will say that this is a much, much slower paced game than anything else I've played this year; there are very few blow mind moments like Portal 2 or Arkham City, but I kind of like the change of pace.
As far as indie goes I'd also give a shout out to Bastion, which was a beautiful bit of story telling in the way only a game can and From Dust, which despite it's problems captured my heart just because of weird it was and the nostalgia for Black & White I got.
But I can't choose one game, and there's still so many I haven't bought (Uncharted 3, AC:R and Skyford Sword chief amoung them)
