I gotta go Skyrim. It may not be perfect, but it is the fullest game I've ever played. It rivals MMOs with the amount of content in it.
People have been making threads about seriously talking about the game of the year for months now. Wait until it's closer to January before flooding the place with these.
While I haven't played a good portion of the mentioned ones like Skyrim (frankly, I'm not interested in this one though), the 2 games that have been robbing me of my time were Human Revolution and The Binding Of Isaac. Out of which I would rather choose the latter one because of its replayability, but then again it's part of the game mechanic that you play it multiple times (yet not play the same game twice), so I'm not so sure. I'll call it tied, and hope that would be broken when I finally buy Bastion.
I'd say either Portal 2 or Deus Ex: Human Revolution; the main reason I'm neglecting Skyrim is that I haven't had a chance to play it yet. Oh well.
Oh yeah, Bastion is a strong contender too, for being a gorgeous, fun hack-and-slash with an amazing story.

Haven't tried MW3, SR3rd, or Arkham City yet, but plan to.
So far though it has to be.
1. Skyrim *Drool*
2. Dark Souls (Almost first but some parts are just not fair at all, like it's border line cruelty. I have no choice but to either fight executioner and dragon knight, or fight the four kings. Both bosses just kick my ass)
3. Battlefield 3 (The online is just too good, and what the game is about anyway!)
4. Witcher 2
5. Deus Ex HR
6. Dead Space 2
7. Alice Madness Returns (Don't know i just like this one, by no means is it game of the year material. Yet on a personal level 7th best of the year
)

I'm gonna go with Portal, and a honorable mention for BF3, Skyrim (even though I have not tried it, and have no intention to do it, basing this purely on hearsay) and the Witcher 2. I also hear Dark Souls is very good, but as I learned from Ninja Gaiden, I have no tolerance for overly difficult games.
It'll be Skyrim. That much was decided before any other games came out this year (back in January).
And that alone should tell you how flawed the premise of a GOTY award is (at least as a serious accolade).
"GOTY" is a popularity contest plain and simple. It honestly doesn't matter what the game's specific merits/flaws are (or aren't); if the game is popular enough, it will get that GOTY label.
So talking about "GOTY" from anything other than a personal subjective perspective is laughable, because it's just a marketing label anyway.
Skyrim isn't my GOTY (I don't own it. And I don't plan to play it), but it's my guess for what wins this year.

Portal 2 and Bastion for me.
I still have yet to play Skyrim, Batman:AC, AC:Revelations and Trine 2, waiting until December when I have more time and some come out on PC then. Based on previous games these will also fit into my top games for GOTY.
It's hard so far to pick between Portal 2 and Bastion for GOTY. Both have brilliant game-play, story and music.

1. Portal 2
2. Skyrim
3. Deus Ex - Human Revolution
I also enjoyed Dead Space 2, RAGE and Saints Row 3 but while those were good the games at the top are just excellent.

Catherine ( i know it won't be it would be cool if it did )
Dark souls ( game of the year in my book , i don't care what no one says )
Skyrim ( i mean , it has dragons herp derp )
Bigest dissapointment goes to LA Noir , this could bave easily been GOTY but it dropped the ball
Bigest comeback/surprise goes to sonic generation . Sonic colors was good but generations gave me hope for futur sonic games .
