It has to be The Last of Us

way to many good games to pick from

cough xillia, cough final fantasy xiv

Have only played 3 new release games this year, Metro Last Light, Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us.

So far Last of Us takes the cake, and is probably the best game on PS3.

Bioshock Infinite was really good, but GTAV is looking pretty kickass

Have you played Xillia? They say it lacks content (compared to other Tales games)

The Last of Us
Tomb Raider

Then it starts getting a bit difficult... I enjoyed Bioshock, but it was a bit of a slog at times, and the story ended up being too convoluted for me. So Bioshock would be 3rd but only because there really hasn't been that many (or I cannot remember any other major titles I've liked).

I expect quite a few to be challenging Bioshock in 3rd place before the end of the year :)

Top 3 so far (in order):

1. Bioshock Infinite
2. The Last of Us
3. Tomb Raider

I suspect GTAV will be at the top by the end of the year.

As of now...

1. The Last of Us - PS3
2. Ni No Kuni - PS3
3. Fire Emblem - 3DS
4. Tomb Raider - PS3
5. Animal Crossing - 3DS

I could see several titles battling for these spots though as a very strong year.

They fixed everything in Xillia 2 though.

Dust = an elysian tale (PC) to me so far.

But I've not played The last of us yet.
