I don't know. There were a lot of decent games and a few good games, but none that really jump out at me as my favorite. Virtue's Last Reward is the only game in recent memory that encroached on my sleep, so that, I guess.
Really. It's a hard question to answer. There were a lot of highly anticipated games but they really didn't pan out as great games. Which makes picking one really hard.

...Spec Ops: The Line deserves a lot of praise for doing things I didn't think a game would tackle. It was a really good story and decent shooter gameplay.
And Assassin's Creed 3 really shines with its Connor story (especially mid-way to near the end). But the Desmond stuff isn't so good. The gameplay's funner than the other AC games and I liked the time period. It's a contender for the top spot too.

...But.... I don't want to give it to Mass Effect 3... but I get the feeling that Mass Effect 3 would be my actual final choice in best game of this year. Of course I haven't played Dishonored and would probably like it. Or XCOM.
