Honorable mentions: (World have included some of these but there’s only room for 10)

Mortal Kombat 9

Resistance 3:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
L.A. Noire
Killzone 3
Dark Souls
Assassins Creed Revelations
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Battlefield 3

and

Minecraft… though it’s just about to leave Beta, so it can’t be game of the year

and anyone wondering: try the Rayman Origins demo, is pure 2D bliss, too bad it came out in such a busy season

Skyrim, probably followed by either Dark Souls or Arkham City, based on what little I've played of them.

Modern Warfare 3 hands down.

The last month has probably been the best month for gaming that I've ever had. Both Arkham City and Skyrim are absolutely amazing examples of the best that this medium is capable of. One of those will surely be my game of the year, choosing which one is going to be near impossible, though. They're both among the best gaming experiences I've had.

Batman: Arkham City by a light year.

Skyrim followed by Arkham City.

I've only played the first hour or so of Skyrim, and haven't played Arkham City. Or Arkham Asylum actually haermm. Uncharted 3 is great but is really Uncharted 2.5. Great game nonetheless.

Nothing really matches the overall scope of Minecraft but I don't see it winning many GOTY awards. mmm

I'd say Minecraft because there is so much you can do with it. I really hope (either through mods or notch (aka Jeb ermmnone)) quests are added.

I was tempted to put Minecraft up for vote, but since it was still a Beta, not technically released, I couldn't 😐

This Fall has been one of the best ever. Most, if not all games up for GOTY, came out this season. What's really interesting though, it's the fact that every single one of them has been a sequel or part of a franchise, No original IP 😐

... Except for Minecraft, but... 😬

Overall 2011 has been a great year for gaming, over 25 great games worth anyone's time (not mentioning HD collections)

Minecraft's been in beta for years, though. It's become one of those things where it being in beta means nothing (especially since you still have to pay to get it, despite it supposedly being beta).

Also, this has made me realize that I've bought and played exactly one new release this year.

The Witcher 2 for me.

None of the games that came out in 2011 that I've played really feel like they deserve my personal GOTY award. I enjoyed(or am still enjoying) Dead Space 2, Anno 2070, Bastion, The Bitcher 2, HoMM 6. Torchlight 2 and Serious Sam 3 are yet to come out, but look fairly promising.

I think that's highly depending on what you expect to get. I too would agree to some degree that Witcher 2 is a better game then Skyrim.

(yeah drag me behind the barn and shoot me)

The reviews don't lie, my friend.

Spoiler:
Haha, who am I kidding?

It's just such a shame that no 2011 game can get my coveted GOTY award. And I'm not at all hard to please.

Now why would I do that? Both are mediocre games at best.

You don't really have any understanding of what a mediocre game is then. 🙂
