Nowt really. Everything has been pretty mediocre.
Would have liked to say XCOM but it got stale once I had unlocked everything. I don't even think I completed it.
And for people to say that Dishonoured was their favourite, well, says it all. That game was pants so there really hasn't been anything. For PC at least.
The Nintendo Wii-U console looks amazing.

Put this in the other thread, but want to update my previous call here too. I'd originally gone for Legend of Grimrock, which was pretty good but was almost chosen by default due to me not having played any other 2012 releases.
Now that I'm almost finished with Dishonored I feel there's a proper contender that really deserves the title. I actually Dishonored would have been my GOTY for most of the past few years.
+ Wonderfully crafted world with stunning art direction and excellent attention to detail
+ Story and lore of the world are really well fleshed out
+ Open environments and multiple approaches to objectives
+ Fun powers
- Stealth mechanics aren't that great
- Really demands two playthroughs due to the way chaos is handled (not sure if this is a negative, but I've not used most of the powers due to trying to play with low chaos and kind of feel I missed out)

For pure fun, Hotline Miami.

Fully agree with the above.
Main downside is its lacking in map content atm, but that doesn't detract from the quality of the game.
People who have the patience to play through first time in stealth mode get more out of the game IMO as its fun to go back through it again in high chaos mode whereas its not that fun for someone who blasted through in high chaos first time to go back and try doing it slowly heh. Some of the high chaos relevant abilities are just way too much fun.

Yeah, I can see that. Just finished it, and got the clean hands achievement.
Will almost certainly go back and do a high chaos run to play with the more destructive weaponry and powers, but I agree that I'd not have as much motivation for a second playthrough if I was going to go stealthy/non-lethal.

Skyrim and BF3 were bought in 2012 by me but out in 2011 so Dark Souls

Planetside 2.
I thought 'true' epic scale, team combat based games died after Battlefield 2 but this game rocks.
