Its the game of the year... and this is coming from a mediocre fan of the first game. Its outstanding on every level (pardon the pun). Also, it has a fantastic ending, something that games cant seem to deliver on.

There are so many good games comming at the end of the year that it will be very difficult for portal 2 to win. We will all have uncharted, gears, skyrim, dark soul's, rage, mw3, and battlefiled 3 (I'm sure I forgot some) fresh in our minds.

For me its as close to perfect as it gets. Coop AND SP. id go 9.5 and wouldnt argue at a 10. the story, the characters, the dialouge, the puzzles, the pacing and flow... its just damn perfect. As far as recomendations, hmm, I dont know what youve played and how long youve owned your console, but I too am a 360 owner with over 70 games. Dont miss, Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 Red Dead Redemption Fallout 3 All can be found in the used racks for pennies on the dollar. Im playing Bioshock 2 right now... I loved Bioshock 1 but never picked up the second due to influx of great games to play, you can literally walk into target right now and get Bioshock 2 for 14.99 assuming you live in US. Borderlands is a game that gets overlooked and is really awesome... easy 40+ hours of fun just going through the main missions before DLC. All three Assassins Creed games are fantastic... story, characters gameplay etc are all top notch. Forza 3 is hours upon hours of fun even if youre not a hardcore racing sim fan. Splinter Cell Conviction can be found cheap in any bargain big. That game is way underappreciated... have you played all these?

true... its what hurt Mass Effect 2 in my belief... Even with all those great games, and they are all looking great, I still find it hard to believe something will top the overall quality of Portal 2, I hope im wrong though, I want stellar games from here on out!

Just Cause 2 and Vanquish are both very cheap now, and very good.

Also Fallout 3.

Just Cause 2 demo was awesome fun and from what i hear its massively underappreciated, Vanquish i didnt care for all that much, felt too linear.

Darksiders is awesome, beleive me. FFXIII is a good game; I can see why some people don't like it though. It's extremley linear in every way. However, the story is good and the combat is fun, plus it's a very pretty game. So I'd say play it but that's just me. I haven't finished it yet.

Co-op is not QUITE as good as the single-player IMO, but the game is amazing in all aspects and a contender for GOTY.

The only characters I am annoyed by are Snow and Vannile, and Vannile has actually become interesting despite being obnoxious. Snow on the other hand is borderline delusional. Kinda funny sometimes.

Eh, Portal 2 got a 95, I think, Metascore. Usually, games with a 95 metascore tend to win quite a few GotY awards, just sayin'.

wow, i never thought id see someone say this? Did you not play with a friend? because I can imagine that being the only detractor. My only gripe about the coop was Glados wasnt AS inventive with the dialogue as she is in SP.

Dead Space 2 is great (get the PS3 version. Crysis 2 is also great, but Transformers Dark of the moon is bad

I also reccomend Dead Space 2. Lots of fun, on my 5th campaign run through and still awesome. As for what snyper said, I think PS3 has bonus content or something so that would be the better version.
