I would say either Pokemon Black and White (I think best Pokemon game ince G/S/C), L.A. Noire (not out yet, but looks amazing), or Batman Arkham City (IT LOOKS SO INCREDIBLE.)
What would your "Game of the year 2011" be?

Infamous 2 just took the "heavy contenders" list's lead because of user generated content.
Other heavy contenders right now are Uncharted 3 (it is looking AMAZING!) and Mass Effect 3.
As far as released games (in case the other 3 somehow disappoint): It's a toss up between Dead Space 2 and Dragon Age 2.
edit:
I think people just expected too much from the DA franchise and Bioware. Had DA2 been made by any other developer under any other name and the same people bashing it would be praising it.

To this I'd say play it and see for yourself. I'm enjoying it something fierce so far. DA2 is not bad in any way, shape or form.SupahGamuh said:

A very tough question.
I'm hoping Portal 2, just because Portal was so damn fun but so, so short. With the work going into making it a full-length game, and the innovative nature of the first game (not forgetting the instant atmosphere and generally fun voice-acting.)
Hopefully that will be so, though it's far from definite. If not Portal 2 then, I don't know, Skyrim looks like it could be awesome, Batman: Arkham City could be sweet, Dragonage 2 looks fun at moment, though I'm not gonna rush to get it.
It's a tough call, but pending the actual experience of playing the games, I'm gonna guess with Portal 2.

Theoretically, Skyrim (unless Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One is promised this year?). Hard to say, especially since I haven't played any but Pokemon White so far. It's not that.
Portal 2; they've already got J.K. Simmons, Jonathan Coulton, The National and Stephen Merchant on board, and they're keeping the same twisted sense of humor, and there's co-op...
Then again, Valve may have painted themselves into a corner somewhat; given how well the first game was recieved, they might get a flood of hatred if it's just 'really good' and not 'a divine gem bestowed upon mankind by the hand of Christ himself'. I'm still looking forward to it, though. I pre-ordered, and it's just sitting in my Steam library taunting me...
Oh, and the Captcha is expecting me to type in Hebrew characters. What the hell is that about?

Since Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't even published with any images etc, (why SQENIX, why?) My personal choice next is Duke Nukem Forever.

I think it's dumb to name a "game of the year" completely based on speculation of what the various games coming out are going to be like. None of us have played any of the unreleased games and therefore none of us can comment on how good or bad they are.
For all we know Skyrim might be complete and utter crap and Duke Nukem Forever is going to be an industry changing success. None of us can make this call this early in the year, so this thread is pointless.

Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and Guild Wars 2.
Fuck decision, I'm taking all of them! They are equally as awesome (or will be, in terms of ME3 and GW2).

OT:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a chance based on what I've seen, but so do Arkham City (October release confirmed, I think), Gears 3, Mass Effect 3 (no way this is coming out this year, though), LA Noire, and probably some "come from behind" game that I'll love. It's happened before (Halo: Reach and Red Dead Redemption unseated Mass Effect 2 for my GOTY).
As for what I've already played though, Dead Space 2, hands-down. Weird as this may sound, I just bought Forza 3 and even though it came out last year I'm counting it as a "this year" release for me. It's absolutely amazing.
It is awfully early in the year to speculate such things, but I suppose the obvious contenders would be Portal 2, Dragon Age 2 or Mass Effect 3 with Brink as a potential dark horse candidate.
