I just LOVE Skyrim, i dont think i'll ever stop playing it.
There's just SO much to do and i love it replayability, also the modding community is just great for TES games, im just waiting for the creation Kit to come out
(PS Coming from a guy whose name is "Link55" i suppose Skyward Sword isn't really a surprise)
Also welcome to the Escapist

Why? What makes it GOTY-worthy?Link55 said:
Not trying to be antagonistic here, but this could easily just be a "list" thread unless there's some discussion.
I have a hard time picking my favourites in anything. At the moment, I'm going to say Comic Book Hero: The Greatest Cape because of the in-depth customization, and its storytelling capabilities. I can't recall a game in recent history that was so open about where you could go. Sure, the plot points are limited because you can't be a villain, but that's not exactly the point of a superhero game, is it?
The Witcher 2 would most likely be my pick, followed by Deus Ex: Human Revolution and then maybe Skyrim.
Inb4 fuck Skyrim.
Personally, I've yet to choose between Skyward Sword and Skyrim, if only because I haven't had time to fully delve into the former - but from what I've played it's superb. The motion controls don't feel forced, the graphics are a nice balance between the 'realistic' (I use the word loosely) Twilight Princess, and the light-hearted whimsicality of Wind Waker. I'm sure that I'll play it, and adore it to shreds when I get round to it, but until then I've played more of Skyrim.
It's a beast of a game as far as I'm concerned, and, having met very few game-breakers (maybe one quest got fucked up?), it's doing admirably at what it set out to do. Leaps ahead of Oblivion, and I'm still having tremendous fun ~80 hours in.
So yeah, I won't decide until I've played more of Skyward Sword, but it's definitely between those two (unless I'm drastically surprised by something in the next 3 weeks).

Looking at your avatar and username, this could only be more obvious if you burned the game into your soul.Link55 said:
The most enjoyable game I've played this year has probably been Saints Row the Third. Games I repeatedly played were Dead Space 2, Dragon Age 2, Gears 3 and Saints Row the Third (duh).
Dark Souls. It has it's issues, but I enjoyed it and played it more than any other game this year. Probably is one of my favorite games of all time now.
I'd say Skyward Sword with Portal 2 closely following behind, but these games haven't gone without their flaws. The motion controls for LoZ:SS tend to spaz out at the most inconvenient times and Portal 2 was still disappointingly short.
I still haven't had a chance to play Skyrim yet because I'm still waiting for a new PC so I'm looking forward to that.

Portal 2 is my GOTY, mainly because of the co-op gameplay... it's always fun to play with a friend. But from the single player perspective, I prefer Arkham City. I enjoyed Skyrim, too, but until now I spent more time as Batman than slaying dragons with my Dovahkiin. 
For now I'll say Skyrim.
I have yet to play Skyward Sword and Saints Row 3, so my answer could change in the future.
