The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I've sunk dozens of hours into Skyrim over the past month. Almost every bit of my free time has been spent playing it, and for good reason. It has a huge game world with an endless amount of things to do within it, and somehow the developers managed to make nearly every aspect both exciting and memorable. I loved how they eliminated the typical western RPG mechanics of forcing you to decide how you're going to play before you actually get to play. Instead, being given free reign to experiment with any combination of tactics I saw fit helped me to become even more immersed in the game's brilliantly crafted world. I imagine I'm going to spend dozens of more hours in Skyrim because of all this, and for that, it's my game of the year.
