What was your favorite video game of the year?
Mine would have to be a toss up between Bastion and Portal 2. Bastion's narration, feel, and look made me fall in love with it. It is one of those games I have been telling everyone to try. Portal 2 just had more of what I consider one of the greatest games of all time.

Batman: Arkham City. Man, I just inhaled that game over the space of a few days.
I've been really disappointed with Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It's just too samey.

Wii: Fortune Street. Yeah, it's like Monopoly on crack. But in a good way.
PS3: Batman: Arkham City. The action is quite the change of pace.
X360: Portal 2. The number of Easter Eggs and how you had to obtain them was mind boggling. Plus, I couldn't get enough lemons or potatoes.
Steam/PC: Serious Sam 3. Best multiplayer game out there.
Best of the Best: Skyrim. It took exactly three hours after its release before a nude mod came out for Skyrim.
Worst Game of the Year: Duke Nukem Forever. This is why you have to set a public deadline.

I was gonna choose those two games as wellCalus wrote:Mine would have to be a toss up between Bastion and Portal 2. Bastion's narration, feel, and look made me fall in love with it.

But I think Bastion wins out, it had a lot of style and uniqueness, along with displaying some of the best techniques to tell a story via the medium of video game. Special mention to Sonic Generations, it looks like Sonic Team is finally figuring out how to make Sonic work in 3D. What's really weird with this game was, despite the 2D Classic Sonic stuff being great, the 3D Modern Sonic levels felt more fun to play. I know! Modern Sonic being more fun than Classic Sonic, it's weird!

Dark Souls.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to playing Dark Souls.
In addition, This Article sums up why it's so great pretty well. It's about the challenge/reward system, and the world and gameplay are just so polished, everything feels like it has a real, physical weight and solidity to it, rather than just being a series of polygons and textures on the screen(if that makes any sense).
It's a beautiful game.
