Runoff 2011, Game of the Year

[Veknoid_Outcast]

This is a tough one. Dark Souls, Portal 2, and Gears of War 3 are all super close in my mind.

I think Portal 2 just slightly edges out the others. For me, it’s a massive improvement over the original, with an extraordinary world, deep and varied puzzling gameplay, and some of the best writing and voice work ever in a video game.
