Deus Ex, Portal 2 or Skyrim would be fine with me.
I haven’t played Skyrim yet (I know, I know… I’m just not that into Oblivion, so I figured with Skyrim I’ll just wait for a price-drop).
I really enjoyed Deus Ex although the bossfights and the ending(s) sucked.
So my winner is Portal 2 (co-op in P2 was definitely the most fun I had with a videogame this year).
Portal 2 - is the best game of year.
Battlefield 3 - is the best online shooter.
Serious Sam 3 - is the best cinleplayer shooter from figt years (do not consolling ass game for loosers).

I’m having trouble deciphering this. So far I’m at:
“is the best singleplayer shooter from fight (?) years (not counting console ass games for losers).”
Anybody else having better luck?
it’s the best singleplayer shooter from first years?
I’ve never seen such violent butchering of the english language.
Sorry.
Five years.
Strangest typo ever?
Skyrim. <3
Unfortunately, yes, it will win, which will make Activision excited to push out another one. -_-
Oh, and the Halo remake will probably win something too. OXM, they’re Halo fanboys. That’s why they don’t get my money anymore.
fuskox, can you make a poll?
Witcher 2 is my vote.
Visually stunning, the combat was more than point-and-click, the choice system is the best I’ve ever seen in a game, and CDProjekt does an excellent job of updating and improving the game after release.
The story was a little weaker than the first and the UI was pretty meh, but nothing serious.
Skyrim, Portal 2, and Human Revolution would be my other choices.
Could you tell me how? 
I’ve never done it before.
Just checked and you can’t do it in an already created thread - although other forums allow it IIRC.
I cba to create a new one with a poll. You do it.
I’ve played quite a bit of every single game mentioned. And Skyward Sword absolutely blew me away. It jumped straight to the top of my favorite video game list. I’d vote for that. It will win at least one award somewhere. It was fanfuckingtastic.
There have been many good PC games this year but I can’t think of any which deserves a superiority award. Portal 2 is great, but lacks interesting/twitch puzzles. Skyrim is great, but has a horrible UI, unusable map and removes even more RPG mechanics. Human Revolution is good, but was still developed by people that wanted to keep 3rd person ladders, takedowns and bosses because they “looked cool”. The Witcher 2 is great, and yet manages to be inferior to the original in almost every way (awful UI too). Arkham City is great, but far too diluted for its own good. Serious Sam 3 is great, but has a slow start and doesn’t bring anything really new to the table. Rage is great, but the vehicular and transitional sections get boring rather fast - and then the whole game is over before you know it. Dead Space 2 is great, and yet so forgettable that only this very thread reminded me of its existence. Battlefield 3 might be a good multiplayer game, but its singleplayer campaign is so poor that I ragequit. Modern Warfare 3 is… heh.
So I dunno. Most likely personal contender right now is probably The Binding of Isaac. That, or SpaceChem.
Portal 2 “lacks” twitch puzzles? Portal 2 “lacks” twitch puzzles like desk chairs “lack” a giant spike that shoots right up your asshole every time you sit down.
Oh, really? OXM likes Halo?
pffft. Next thing you know, nintendo power will be all over zelda.
My problem isn’t with them liking Halo, my problem is with them trying to shove Halo down your throat. That is why I stopped my subscription, because I disagreed with their editors on too many things and was tired of them trying to push games that I didn’t like, or sequels of games I didn’t like, on me.
I guess that would be relevant if Portal was a sequel to HL2, also wouldn’t the dev costs of HL2 have included the source engine?
no it was just voice acting
dialogue was cliche, redundant, etc. the brit bot was an idiot, glados was doing the same schtick as portal one, just more obvious, hostile and tired, and the 50’s human male version of glados was basically doing the same thing
what new ideas? the goop? the potato glados? yeah, fantastic, why didn’t they call it goop and leave the portal name out of it
no it was either the same “I’m being friendly but actually trying to kill you” humor from portal or the brit bot being an idiot
No, Portal had one of the best endings ever, one in which YOU GOT AWAY! fuck valve for remaking that last scene, and then just dropping you right back where you started just as an easy way to start portal 2.0. what made portal 2.0’s ending so great? the moon? pff
don’t care how they work, it was a bad sequel, it only hurt what portal was.
also, there was no progression in 2, in addition to the puzzles never really getting harder or more complex, you knew at the beginning that all you were going to be doing was escaping/sightseeing, and that never changed, yet for some reason you still had to go through all those different test courses. in Portal, at first you think you’re just a product tester, then slowly you start to see through the cracks in the facade, and realize things aren’t what they seem.
and you can hardly even call portal 2 a sequel, the way they just throw you back down there like portal never happened makes it feel like a mortal kombat type series game. add a couple new characters, add a couple new moves/capabilities, and make the environment much more visually stunning, rinse repeat. they could just keep doing this until portal 9. throw you back down in the hole again, add a new voice actor, revive glados again, make the environment more visually stunning, and there you go, Portal 3, 4, 5…
there’s just such an amazing difference between the two games, I can’t believe that people who played portal when it came out can actually like portal 2. the difference between making a game because someone has a good idea and wants to make a good game, and making a game to cash in, it sickens me.
if they wanted to do portal 2 right, they would have ditched the whole test-course-with-instructional-voice format, you would have had the portal gun in the actual world, and perhaps decided to go back and bring the fight to Glados to finisher her off, and while doing so, you find some other versions or add-ons to the portal gun laying around in labs…
