It was a hard-fought battle, with five or six different games on top at one point or another in the show. There were 25 candidates, but there can only be one winner, and the eventual victor was... *drumroll*

 ...Valve's DOTA 2!

Other close contenders were:
• Battlefield 3 (Electronic Arts)
• Diablo III (Activision Blizzard)
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Bethesda) • Guild Wars 2 (NC SOFT)
