As far as Single Player experiences go:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: A Third person stealth/shooter/RPG hybrid. Able to do side missions with some storylines in between the major story missions. Great plot, and while it does not excel at any of it's aforementioned genres, they all blend together perfectly to create one of the best single players I've played in a while. You and I are most likely going to have very different playthroughs, if you do pick it up.

Skyrim: Huge open world RPG style gameplay. Much more accessible than previos Elder Scrolls entries. If you're looking for intense plotlines and amazing characters in an RPG don't look here, but if you're yearning for a helluva fun RPG to waste countless hours exploring and customizing your character (all the while slaying cool lookin dragons) this is your game. Buyer beware: this game is known to be buggy.

Dark Souls: No story. No narrative. Only a bunch of demons and beasts needing a beatdown. This game focuses heavily on gameplay and PvP, and is one of the most difficult titles realeased this year. RPG style progression, the variety of player builds and equipment choices is staggering. If you're easily frustrated, pass on this game. If you are seeking amazing boss fights, a satisfying challenge, and are a little masochistic, this is your game.

Gears of War 3: IMO, the best 3rd person shooter on the market. Gritty, brutal shooter. The conclusion to the Gears trilogy, I'm sure you know enough about this series already. Best Gears of War to date, and the MP is also top notch, albeit with a learning curve. Co-op and Online Campaign make this game fun through many playthroughs.

Batman: Arkham City: Probably the best action game releasd this year from what I've heard. I haven't played it myself, so I can't say much. All I know is this game is rated highly EVERYWHERE, and I want it.

Fallout New Vegas: Moral choice driven RPG from Obsidian. This game is already filled with 100+ hours of content, and you factor in some of the quality DLC's and your social life can be non-existant. FPS, RPG elements, you can choose to be an axe toting maniac, a sharpshooer, or a straight up brawler. Level up and distribute points to skills of your choice, and learn unique perks that you can use to cater to your playstyle. Great game.

Off the top of my head, this is what I've played recently.

You should have posted in the stickied GGD Recommendation Thread to ask this rather than create a new thread.

It's not hard to remember, it's used in a common phrase (Deus Ex Machinia), and it's spelled as it sounds.

Batman: Arkham City: It's the sequel of Batman: Arkham Asylum and now you play outside the asylum, the game world is much much bigger. You get to play with more characters besides Batman and there are new enemies to fight like Penguin and Two-face. The gameplay is as awesome as it was on the first game.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Probably the most hyped game this year. Some say it's even better than Oblivion, well I agree. You get to play in the north part of the land called Skyrim, and they finally added dragons to the game, so have fun because this game will make you spend wonderful hours.. lots of wonderful hours.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations: The final chapter on Ezio's storyline. Desmond is trapped inside the Animus, and in order to escape you must play through Ezio's memories again. Now Ezio is in Alexandria, looking for what Altair could have left behind for him.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: The second most hyped game of the year, I think. Well, a big majority of Call of Duty players only care for multi-player, but I think the single-player is very interesting.. it's about the world war III, sounds cool right?
