Battlefield 3, Skyrim....
Uhh.... Huh....
That's about it, I guess. Won't be getting them until I upgrade my computer, though.

let me see...
Saints Row the Third (enjoy every penny of it), Deus Ex Prequel, Star Wars the Old Republic is going to be the best of them all (was in the Full beta and enjoyed every second of it)

It was really good, but overall too sequel-y. Skyrim, Human Revolution, Portal 2, et al were great games, but I want something fresh. Fortunately, next year will bring several new IPs (and fresh sequels like Bioshock Infinite and Prey 2) so I'm really looking forward to that.
Most of the games I played this year came out last year or, earlier. Games that I did play this year from this year include Dragon Age 2 and, Duke Nukem Forver so lukewarm at best. The 3DS is alright but best in 2D. Pokemon Black and White were good but the same basic thing as the last few games. I've been enjoying Pokemon Leaf Green on the GBA, Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2 and, Perfect Dark Zero and, Fallout 3 on the 360. I've been poor this year.

This is by far my worst gaming year, considering I didn't play any games besides Freespace because my gaming devices were destroyed in a fire last year, so yeah pretty bad.
Off the top of my head, Dishonored (which will probably be amazing), Last Guardian, and while they're not new IPs, South Park and Colonial Marines are both the start of new franchises and aren't sequels to anything.Beach_Sided said:
Pretty shit. Don't get me wrong, I got some good games...but the ONE game that I actually waited with baited breath for and preordered turned out to be a crock of shit. Fuck you, Ubisoft. Take your half-assed AC title and go sit in the corner.
Portal 2, Dragon Age 2, Terraria, No Time to Explain, Bastion, Saint's Row the Third, Skyward Sword, Skyrim, Infamous 2, Arkham City, Deus Ex: Human Revolution...You tell me. And that's just what came out this year, not even mentioning everything I've played this year from the backlog. Pretty damn good year, all around.
Well, in gaming. Life wasn't as fun this year. But hey, gaming was great!

Actually it's one of the best gaming years. Started awesome with Ghost Trick, then we got Gen 5 Pokemon, Portal 2, Catherine, Persona 2: Innocent Sin in the states after so long, Saints Row 3, Return to Dreamland.
If it weren't for the fact that Ace Attorney Investigations 2 didn't get released here, I'd say this was probably the best year I've had. It's still great, but it coulda been near perfect.

This has been a really good year for me. New Halo (sort of), new Dead Rising, new Saints Row, new Elder Scrolls, new Batman, new Portal, new InFamous, new Mortal Kombat.
On top of that, Gears 3 was way better than I was expecting it to be. And I played my first Marvel vs Capcom that I actually enjoyed (Frank West was all the motivation I needed).
And if that's not enough, I still have RAGE and Deus Ex and Crysis 2 (not to mention Crysis on 360)that I haven't gotten around to playing yet, among others.
I know it's more popular to be cynical and say everything sucks, but I have had a great year for gaming. Probably the best since 2007.

Gaming wise, this year was pretty awesome!
I played all the main games most others are listing, and was only kinda disappointed with Rage. I still liked it, I just thought it was going to be more. DE:HR was alright, Skyrim has become my favorite game, and Portal 2 was everything I'd thought it be.
Now to bad real life sucked so hard this year, but that's why I play, I guess to be an Escapist!

As a whole quite a good year.
I got Shogun 2, Bulletstorm, Shadows of the damned, Sonic Generations, El Shaddai, Deus EX HR, Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Socom 4, Dead Island, Duke Nukem Forever, Red faction Armageddon, and Littlebigplanet 2.
Most, if not all were at least good (at least for me anyway), so that counts for something.

Allow me to be a party pooper and say this year has been extremely disappointing for video games. To give you a frame of reference, The only games i bought this year were Portal 2, Marvel Vs Capcom 3 and Infamous 2. Other then those 3 nothing else i wanted to play has really come out this year.
Catherine, Dark Souls, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Disgaea 4, Arcana Heart 3.....yeah it was a very good year.
