3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

It'll be tough to find a better value this year in a game, especially considering that Skyrim's developers have said the game can technically go on "forever." Skyrim offers an enormous map to explore, with countless quests to pursue and dragons to slay. Just don't expect to breeze through this one; Skyrim should keep you busy for months.
