For the first time in a very long time, we actually seem to have some GREAT games coming out, and we can't forget earlier this years Portal 2.

I think we can rule Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 out, as they both don't seem to be doing anything TOO new, or even too well :/
I'm sure they'll both be good shooters, but I doubt we'll be going back to them in a few years, which is what I think really makes a great game.

So, I think the candidates we have, and please tell me if I'm forgetting any.

Portal 2
Batman Arkham City
Uncharted 3
Zelda: Skyward Sword
Skyrim

I haven't played Batman yet, but I absolutely loved Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 1 and 2, the Zelda series and Oblivion, so, I just can't wait for exams to finish so I can play all of these games :P

What do you think will be the best from those few, or if you think one I haven't mentioned will be better?

I think probably Zelda, the Nintendo magazine already called it the best Zelda game to date, though they could just be throwing that around :P
It really does look great though, hell, all of these games look great.

It's gonna be an amazing next few months regardless :D

(apologies if there's already a thread like this, I couldn't find it)

Uncharted 3 is definitely my favourite of the year, but I think Batman trumps it in that it's just a more accessible game for a broader audience.

So far. Skyrim forthcoming.

Yeah, and "GOTY" is a term penned by big publications that decide on a game without any actual broader gamer opinion.

It's out-dated publishing at its finest, failure to adapt to modern, online community-inspired content.

Ask the gamers what GOTY is. Them and only them should ultimately decide.

Portal 2 will be GOTY I reckon.

But the rest will probably end up releasing a GOTY edition anyway.

Skyrim, maybe, but I think Oblivion was freakin' horrible, so Skyrim is going to have to be pretty damn good.

It'd be a disappointing day if Uncharted beat Zelda.
I'd be content with Portal 2 beating Zelda, but i highly doubt uncharted could.

So many people forgetting about Zelda :'(
Just cause you won't play it doesn't mean it's not in the running ;)

Gonna be either Skyward Sword, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Arkham City and Portal 2 imo, and you can guarantee they'll all win it from some site/magazine/whatever else. :P
