I said it last year, and I'll say it this year: it depends on the genre.

Like fighters? Brawl or Street Fighter IV
Like shooters? Resistance 2 or Gears 2
Like GTA (and its clones)? GTA IV
Like RPGs? Something on the PC probably...
Like insect games? DEADLY CREATURES ALL THE WAY MUTHAFUKKA!!!

I find the habit of declaring a single game as the best of the year, regardless of genre, incredibly silly and futile. One game wasn't as far above the rest to earn the title last year, and there sure as heck won't be one this year. I have my own favorites, but aknowledge readily that they're too niche to be called GOTY by anyone.
