It seems like every end of the year, somebody makes the announcement that next year will be game of the year. 
 
just like Sony fanboys claim the next year will be their year *spoiler, still hasn't happened here. 
 
does look like a fantastic year though.

Many more would disagree than agree. Thinking that Alpha Protocol was 'fucking awesome' more makes you seem like someone who's easy to please.

No.
 
But anyways 2011 looks seriously awesome.  Forza 4 was just announced.  It'll probably be one of the better years anyways.

I'd prefer it if they just used a different engine entirely and kicked Gamebryo to the curb.

No it's not.  Samurai Warriors 3 Z is coming to the PS3 only, Xtreme Legends (the orignal Wii version's expansion) is coming to the Wii.  No 360 release of any sort.

yeah major overhaul means to completely redo characters and their animations. The graphics could use a major bump too but I just don't see them having too much time to create an entirely new engine, unless they've had a side team working on it.

I thought 2010 was a great year but now I'm feeling torn, there's some really good-looking stuff hitting next year.

Well if you don't like it, stop playing games. Sequels,prequels, and reboots are the best thing that ever happened to games.

I can think of a lot more bad examples of Sequels, Prequels and Reboots than good ones. "

Whatever.  I say we throw caution to the wind and blow our expectations to fucking astronomical proportions.  2011 is the greatest thing mankind hath ever wrought.  Thank you Gregorian calendar.

Should be a good year, but like everybody else has said; it sure as hell won't beat 1998. There's still a lot of 2010 and 2009 games I have to play >.>

Alright, fine, I'll expand. Gawd.
 
2011 is definitely going to be a busy year of amazing games, and my wallet pre-emptively weeps for when the Holiday season rolls around. But if you look at the games that all came out in 1998 (Starcraft, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Thief, Half-Life, Grim Fandango, Rainbow Six, the first Pokemon, Parasite Eve, Baldur's Gate, and MORE), it has hard to argue that it was a time of wild ambition, enthusiasm and really is the beginning of the modern age of gamming. A lot of the basic game design strategies that we still see in games today can be traced back to releases that came out in that one year. Have better games come out since then? Sure, tons, but I can think very few years that had so many games that had a wider impact than this one. It was amazing at the time, and history has proven it to be a watershed moment for game dseign.
 
Now will 2011 possibly reveal itself to be just an exciting and influential down the line? I'm not ruling out the possibility, but it really is hard to imagine that the lightning and energy that defined 1998 will ever be captured again.
