As usual, only the predictable mainstream stuff gets to the top. I'm wondering if Dark Souls will get a single GOTY.
And the art, the music, and the fun.
The first half of the game definitely lacked in the fun department.
Well the art is nice too but yeah art doesn't make a game fun. It's extremely boring so far.
You do know the Half-Life modding scene is considerably larger than the TES one?
edit: sorry you didn't necessarily stated otherwise, I got the impression since you were quoting that guy that said Skyrim will be remembered for its mods.
What's that have to do with Portal?

Someone got a top 10 right. Its good to not see CoD on there for a change.

I found the first 30 minutes of Bastion quite dull. Then the combat and story opened up and it was a lot of fun.
I agree with Derrick, Portal 2 is ultimately forgettable and did not live up to what it could have been. The best parts of the game are the writing and scripting. What you "play" isn't much of a step up from Portal 1 (the co-op is though). I don't think a 3rd game would do nearly as well for them as 2 did.
It also outstays its welcome too. I mean I wanted a longer game than Portal 1 which 2 gave me, but it went on too long.

Fuck Yea!
Guess I'll be the last guy on GAF to say this was a surprisingly respectable list, touching on some of the substantial highlights of the year, covering many of the games leading trends, and avoiding some of the obvious headscratchers (COD lulz).
Most surprising of all, it got me to buy a game. I'd heard of Bastion- had it recommended to me by a Steam friend months ago- but I hadn't purchased it yet, I was waiting for a sale. List posts up, GAFfer mentions the daily deal, BAM. Purchased. Not very often that a Top Ten list in a mainstream mag influences me to purchase a game.

I'm doing the same, but waiting for an XBLA sale. I'll buy it immediately then.

I've put in over 100 hours into Skyrim, had one bug that didn't amount to anything. Doesn't make it any less of a game because you bought the PS3 version.
The two main points of Bastion both suck:
The announcer doesn't fit, and gets annoying quickly.
The combat is boring.
On top of that, the way the environment forms out of nowhere is really bad.
It's a minor distraction for a day or two, at best.
horrendous list

10. Saint's Row: The Third

Not a bad list. And because no one else has mentioned it that I have seen, 3DS made the top ten list for gadgets.

I would replace BF3, S&S, Bastion, Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Minecraft with RO2, HC:Uprising, Frozen Synapse, The Witcher 2, DE:HR and Serious Sam 3. It would then become a Damn Fine List.
