Skyrim. Hands-down. It has a lot going for it so far - and Morrowind and Oblivion were both GOTY.

You seem to have forgotten TES 5: Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Dungeon Siege 3 and Diablo 3.

Impossible to answer anyway. We haven't seen any of the games I mentioned. DA2 was awful, though, and The Escapist ought to be ashamed of their review. It is so blatantly off, that I wonder if the reviewer actually played the game for more than 15 minutes.

I said "other" simply because there are too many of these games that haven't come out (and some we know little about) to be able to legitimately make that decision. Mass Effect 3, for example, could be fantastic, or it could be a steaming pile of crap. We can make guesses, but its still too early to tell. So for now, I'm abdicating my vote.

There is a reason the Call of Duty formula is so successful - it's incredibly popular and addictive. I agree with you that most modern shooters feel too similar but there is a reason for it. It pretty much guarantees good sales and reviews (note I said good not great).

And fair enough if you don't like GTA but you have to admit that they must be doing something right if they have been successful enough to spawn as many games as they have
It's successful because it's popular, and that makes it okay?
It's fraud.

I do admit that my dislike for Modern Warfare was personal.
My dislike for all the IDENTICAL FUCKING CLONES are objective and unbiased.

You payed $60 for Modern Warfare. Fine.
Then you (maybe not you but somebody) payed $60 for MW 2, Battlefield Bad Company, Home-front, Black Ops, Killzone, Metal of Honor and a million others that I'm forgetting.
Those games are all identical down to the chest high walls, the five hour campaign, the rail shooter vehicle sections, the linear level design, the pop-up-shooting-gallery levels, the broken multyplayer.

And no one notices this!
Or if they do they don't do anything about it.

Developer: "You like Modern Warfare. Can I have $60?"
Player: "Do I have to pay you to keep playing Modern Warfare?"
Developer: "No, but I do want your money."
Player: "Well...okay."
Developer: "Can we charge you again every year from now on?"
Player: "That sounds fair."

The Call of Duty franchise and all of it's bastard clones need to die and you know what?
That won't effect your ability to play Modern Warfare in the slightest.

Although I think it's a bit too early to tell, I think Portal 2 is going to win it hands-down. It's an absolutely fantastic game. It's like what Half-Life 2 was to Half-Life.

By this logic many JRPGs, MMOs, strategy games, racing games, fighting games, and sports games are also frauds. Or I could go with the explanation that companies have found set ups that a certain contingent of players enjoy and will pay for games using similar set ups, thus the company produces more of those games so there really is no actual fraud involved. But that would make too much sense. My personal taste is LAW. DOWN WITH JRPGS!

I refuse to really pick until these games COME OUT!

But, for the games that have recently been realeased,
I am caught between Portal 2 and Crysis 2.
Portal 2 is just awesome (I just recently got it) but Crysis 2 really steped into a deminition which has not been preformed to my knowledge...

Seriously- Crysis 2 had an impact on me no game has given me before. It shows that technology, while it may be the greatest thing ever, ruins lives, it breaches the seperation of human and God, as man can become an unstopable war machine, for the price of his own mortal soul. It brings out every aspect of war and distruction rarely thought of by other games. The story, though not the longest, was absolutly great.
