Of those listed Portal 2 is a clear winner. Awesome game, everything else is... well actually console, so I wouldn't know much about it, except Skyrim which was a mediocrity.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

All getting a GotY award is fine with me. Portal 2, Skyward Sword, and Skyrim all left the same effect with me grinning throughout the entire game with excitement. Skyward Sword turned out more epic than I expected.

I haven't played the other two, because I don't own anything PS.

Is everyone forgetting that minecraft was only released this year? Otherwise my answer would be skyrim and skyward sword.

Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City deserves a GOTY. Witcher 2 too. Portal 2 is good, but I don't feel strongly about its need for a GOTY.

I too enjoyed Dark Souls more than Skyrim.  Even though combat is at the core of both games, one handles it SO much better than the others.

Those of you wanting Dark Souls to get a GotY got your wish. Game Revolution participated for the first time this year, and gave it a GotY award.

The fun of modern publishing could have included Minecraft and Mass Effect 2, both "released" this past year.

Perhaps the old republic as well? Though hard to tell when it released late December, making it impossible to get goty.

Easily Minecraft.... SWTOR is good... but not GOTY just yet (maybe in a patch or two).

Come on.  We've all been playing minecraft for well more than a year.

Minecraft deserves GotY this year like Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 does.

Which is funny because ME2 on PS3 WAS better than the 360 version. XD
