The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
My long perspective on the Zelda series is this: There are hits and there are misses, and just because the latest installment is the latest doesn't mean it's the best one yet.
Saints Row: The Third
"Saints Row: The Third" could be described as "Grand Theft Auto" with all the bullshit replaced by awesome. Or, alternately, "Grand Theft Auto" as envisioned by concerned parent groups.

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" is the reason I'm upgrading my computer this weekend.
