    Looks good.  Skyrim is an awesome game, Battlefield 3 is hands down the best FPS, Uncharted 3, and Portal 2 are great choices... over all an accurate representation.  There have been several good games this year.  It would have been nice to see Batman get a spot, but there was tough competition.

    Resistance 3 was better than BF3.

     Admittedly I have not played Resistance 3.  MW3 was good, but it was basically a huge map pack for MW2 which was disappointing.  There is a huge customer base for the CoD games and that is why it has sold so well.  I've heard a lot of people say that they got MW3 because their friends play it.  But I feel the BF3 was a much better made game.

    uncharted 3 and batman are clear winners for me this year. Skyrim is a good game, but i think its downfall its that the fact the game is so long with a never ending quest. Who wants to spend a life time playing Skyrim? Lot's of great game enjoy them all.

    I didn't buy Skyrim only because of the bugs, this shouldn't be a GOTY when so many people have problems that are still not corrected
