Xenoblade Chronicles. I am on my second playthrough and still enjoy the game.

Xenoblade Chronicles

do you not know bum? eveyone knows him! ahahahaa

yep i have been VERY SLACK! im getting my game on now though so dont worry. Just seen Resistance 3 brand new for £25.. not sure if i should buy it though

glad to hear (um, read) that!

plenty of good game floating around out there.

Regarding R3, in my personal opinion, it's not brilliant, but not bad either. I've only played the single player campaign though and without Move, so chances are the co-op and other multi-modes would save it.  £25 is still quite a bit of money though so if you're thinking of picking it up maybe slog through some vids and reviews first or maybe even rent it/borrow it from bum

LA Noire by default, as it's the only game I've bought this year.

yeh it is still alot of money.. concidering the same shop has 4 games for £20 on at the moment and that include FF13.. so might get that instead and wait for R3 to hit the deal next year. 

you have no idea how much i just laughed at that last line.. il ask bum what he thinks 

thats the only game you brought this year :O 

you worse then me!!! 

I find it so sad that no one mentions Dragon Age Origins sequel... But don't get me wrong. I find it really sad because I know it doesn't deserver a mention at all.

I just want to point out what are would be my goty contenders if I could play them all this year, thing that won't happen:

The Witcher 2
Xenoblade Chronicles
Skyward Sword
Uncharted 3
Dark Souls
Batman: Akrham City
Skyrim
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
SW: The Old Republic
Portal 2

I probably should include:
Limbo, L.A. Noire

Let's thank god Mass Effect 3 isn't released this year.
And that's how MY GOTY list should be. Those of you guys who enjoy a 3DS (counting DS library here too), a PSP and/or an X360 might be even having a harder time to make your choices and use your time wisely.

Batman:Arkham City as of right now no other game comes close.
No other game is in Batman's league atm.Uncharted 3 when it releases could beat Batman since Uncharted 2 was better than Batman:Arkham Asylum.

1. Bastion
2. Dead Space 2
3. Gears 3
