I'd say Gravity Rush, a brilliant game on what many "game analyst" call a "dead/weak handheld"

Not my GoTY, there's xenoblade, but really underrated, it's a great game

LittleBigPlanet Karting. Probably the most interesting karting game i've played since the original Mario Kart. There's so much variety. Not only do you have racing and battle levels but endless runners, capture the flag, boss battles and a tonne of other mini games. Some of the user created levels i played include Star Fox style space shooters and puzzle games. The tools definatly allow for more possibilities than Modnation Racers.

Kid Icarus would be a close second though.

This might sound crazy but: Halo 4. It's the best multiplayer to date and the single player was damn good. Don't even get me started on the graphics. It amazes me that it ranks lower then 3/Reach (Review wise) when all my friends agree to my sentiments.

I haven't played Binary Domain but if I did I can see where everyone is coming from. Game looks great and general user reviews are quite high.

spec ops the line
