Game you've enjoyed most this year

[Exius Xavarus]

It's kind of a toss up between Dragon's Dogma, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Tales of Graces f. Kingdoms of Amalur, I played for a straight 2 and a half weeks after I got it before touching anything else. Tales of Graces f(while not my favorite Tales game) lives up to the franchise within which it exists and is a fantastic game, very fun to play. As for Dragon's Dogma...I've been playing it since I got it on release day. Still playing it. If I go to play something else, I go back to Dragon's Dogma within the hour.

Mass Effect 3 probably. Only just finished the singleplayer actually. Ending didn't bother me that much. I haven't played that many games this year though. Still, there is quite a bit of year left.

 

[Haefulz]

Trials Evolution, Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3

 

[JKain]

Journey

Very unique experience to say the least

Released this year? Eh....Mass effect 3 (With the exception of the ending).
Otherwise, I've been catching up and going on a retro-kick of epic proportions. Found out I loved FO3, and I didn't actively hate Borderlands, even with it's enemies that could resist several point-blank incendiary sniper rifle rounds to the noggin because the number above their head said so, and who tore through your shields like a lightsaber through wet tissue paper. Enchanted Arms was tried and scrapped, as was Dark Messiah of Might and magic.

However, I dusted off the Crash Bandicoot series, and found that it holds up amazingly well. Same goes for Bloody Roar 1 and 2.

It's been a weird year with not much in the way of gaming due to focus on studies.

 

[EHKOS]

You know, the only game I've really really enjoyed this year so far is when I went back and replayed the original Ratchet and Clank.

 

[AyreonMaiden]

Xenoblade, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and Ocarina of Time 3D (Still.)

For me, it's Max Payne 3. I just finished my second playthrough last night, and it is rare for me to play through a game multiple times in a short amount of time. It's just so much fun (multiplayer included).

Prototype 2 and Alan Wake's American Nightmare kind of tie for my number 2 spot.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

Since I am assuming I have to select a new game that I had not played previously, I'll go with Path of Exile.

 

[JohnnyFartPant5]

My favourite game this year is The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360. It's a perfect RPG in my opinion. Closely followed by Max Payne 3. That is hugely enjoyable if you love shooting foreigners in the face.

 

[MadBlueWinnie]

I re-visited my nightmarish childhood and played through Zelda:Majora's Mask again. So much fun.
Current gen... Skyrim, definitely Skyrim.

 

[TheDuckbunny]

Indeed. Happy to help. Just be sure you get the update/patch. Apparently the initial launch didn't have a dodge or effective blocking feature. I got the game after the patch was released, so I didn't have any problems, but I'm sure it'd be a nightmare without it.

Noted. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[johnnnny guitar]

hmmm probably my top two at the moment are:
Journey seriously that game on your first play though wow just wow so many get moments of "happiness".
And lone survivor a wonderful indie game that is one of the best horror games in recent years.

oh and this is kinda cheating but Witcher 2:EE PC but who cares the games awesome even if I bought it last year.

I don't know the only AAA game I've bought this year new was ME3 a game which I would rate as average at best and lazily designed cash in a worst.

Yeah I don't know the AAA games this year aren't really doing it for me this year I mainly working on catching up on my back catalogue of games that I wanted to play but never got around to.

 

[Agent Cross]

I'll go with Mass Effect 3 (I enjoyed my ending), with Journey coming in at a close second. I like seeing Journey getting some love!

 

[VeryOddGamer]

The Game I enjoyed the most... Mass Effect 3 could be a good choice, but it's already been sai a couple of times, so I'm going to go with Fallout: New Vegas. I got the Ultimate Collection and it is glorious. Punching someone into chunks of meat never gets old.

Spoiler

Katawa Shoujo.
I shit you not. Proof in the pudding that money =/= quality, if we ever needed any.

However, assuming that you choose not to count that as a game (which I suppose it isn't, honestly) then Crusader Kings 2 or (if we're allowed games from previous years) Deus Ex: Human Revoloution, Persona 3: Portable or Timesplitters: Future Perfect.
I really haven't been playing many new games, this year.
And i'm perfectly okay with that.

 

[bliebblob]

... I just realized I have yet to buy a game this year... Get a move on arenanet! At this rate the old republic will be bankrupt before guildwars 2 even releases...

 

[DeManix]

Journey or Max Payne 3 so far, they'll both be in the running for my game of the year.

I also played Mass Effect 2 for the first time this year and really enjoyed that. Having played both ME2 and ME3 basically back to back (I had a 1 week break in between), I can see the flaws of ME3 compared to ME2 a lot more, and while ME3 was fun, ending aside, ME2 was just a more complete experience and the gameplay and story felt a lot more lively.

Max Payne 3 - is my first choice for the single player. The mp was a bit to frustrating to me and i`m taking a break atm, which leads to the second game...

Dragons Dogma - This was only rented but i couldn`t stop playing until i had the whole map uncovered. I love the fighting and i got so atached to my group that i kept it the same the whole time. In the end i was wandering around with a level 10 and level 15 mage and i was still able to slay everything in my way (except this mean dragon, the only time i choose to run).

Binary Domain - I liked the robot shooting and the boss fights. The story was really good for a shooter. This game managed to suprise me while expecting nothing at first.

Now i`m waiting if Sleeping Dogs will change the list.

I played some FONV but I got the most fun from re-playing Megaman Battle Network 3
