Skyrim for sure. I missed the oblivion boat, so I want to make sure I don't miss the Skyrim boat too.
I could give a flip about Brink and Rage though - I haven't seen any coverage that makes them seem at all appealing. Rage just looks like Boarderlands, but instead of being fun and goofy it'll be 'gritty' and unplayable on my computer. Brink looks like a generic shooter that gives you the option to 'free-run', but from the previews I've read the 'free-running' is something that is necessary...which is baffling to me as to why you would build a game with it and then not require it.
Anyway, obviously personal opinions, but I kind of wish a developer would come out with a futuristic Sci-Fi RPG that didn't involve some post-apocalyptic coffee-stained world.

If this question was around a month earlier it would be Brink. Now though, after seeing and hearing little bits about Skyrim it has to be that. I can't get enough of Oblivion and Morrowind right now either so they're just adding to my hype.
Maybe Brink, watched some trailers on steam.
Not Skyrim though, Oblivion was the most boring and broken game I ever played =/

Gee this is a tough one, three games I've never heard of? Or the successor to the holy grail of gaming that I STILL pop into my 360 today despite getting it like half a fucking DECADE ago.
I'm gonna need to give this some thought

Umm Skyrim it's the only one of those games when announced I squealed like a girl after being speechless for 5 minutes.
More excited for Brink at the moment.
I'll get hyped up for Skyrim when I start seeing extended gameplay clips.

Skyrim is going to have a problem similar to every Zelda game. Morrowind was so incredible that every Elder's Scrolls game is going to be compared to, and ultimately determined to be a disappointment because it's not exactly what everyone wants, in the same way that Zeldas are compared to Ocarina of Time.
Believe me, I greatly enjoyed Oblivion, but Morrowind is Bethesda's Magnus Opus, and I really hope that Bethesda learned something from Oblivion's feedback, but I don't think they did as much as most people wanted. It looks as if it they are dropping more of the RPG heavy roots in favor of a more casually approachable game, which might make it sell better, but the long term, rabid RPG loving fanbase is going to cry foul.
I'll buy it, but I hope I can play it with an open mind, and not compare every detail to Morrowind, like I pretty much did with Oblivion. Bethesda generally makes good games, so it will probably be a very good game, just not exactly the game I want.

I voted for Skyrim just because I love The Elder Scrolls series so much, but Brink has me legitimately intrigued. So that one gets a close second...Rage = meh I really don't care about John Carmack's full priced engine tech demos anymore.
Rage, but Brink is probably the only one I'll get, if any. Been looking forward to Rage since 2007, but dunno if it will be worth the 20% price increase, or if I can even afford it when the time comes around... Hunted looked interesting, but RPG's have let me down a lot over the past few years... Skyrim, well, I can't seem to get into Oblivion, so definitely a no there.
