Thanks to everyone that posted a comment for a chance to win! We hope to have many more competitions in the coming weeks and months (and years), so keep your eyes posted for more chances to win!
A special shout out goes to our winners:

Over the last few weeks, no game has been getting as much international attention as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It went on to sell over $775 million in five days, shattering pretty much every entertainment launch record in history. But while MW3 may have the headlines, it isn’t the title that most gamers are talking about. That honor belongs to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Although it hasn’t come near the new high water mark set by MW3 in terms of sales, Skyrim is receiving both commercial and critical love (you can find our review here). It continually gets mentioned as a game of the year contender, and the sales have been more than respectable. It won’t be the best-selling game of the year, but a second place finish is a very real possibility. Regardless, the game is a hit, and the looming holiday season should boost the numbers even higher.
So if you haven’t yet picked up a copy, or if you have but like it so much that you want a one-of-a-kind version of it to lord over your friends and taunt them, here’s your chance.
We are giving away two copies of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, one for the PS3 and one for the Xbox 360, and both copies are signed by developers from Bethesda Game Studios!
So how do you get your hands on a copy? Simple: Just post a comment below telling us what your favorite game of the year is thus far, what system you want a copy of Skyrim for, and you will automatically be entered to win. If you have no system preference, that’s fine, just tell us that. This contest is open to U.S. residents only.
Then on Monday, November 28, we will pick two winners and contact them for their shipping info. Once we have that, the game will be sent to you via Blockbuster Video.

Blockbuster would also like to extend a special offer to fans planning on buying either Skyrim or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Good luck!
Skyrim! Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine
I would say BF3 is my favorite so far with Skyrim at .01% behind . only reason BF3 wins is the nestalgia factor it brings me. as far which console either can work BUT I prefer if possible Xbox. but I can do either.
I would have to say that From Dust was one of my favorite games this year. It let me be creative although I admit I had evil moments when I let the lava get too close to the villages…. >.>; and the water…. *cough*
Anyways I would appreciate the game for my xbox if that isnt a problem, though I saw the drawing was today so I was curious if it was still open or if someone had been chosen?
Skyrim? More like Dumbrim! Seriously though, my opinion will change the moment I win this, if you so choose.
I don’t even own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim yet, and it is already my favorite game of 2011! When I do get it for my Xbox 360 (winning a signed copy would be incredible!), I will post a review.
My favorite game so far of the year would be The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I haven’t been playing very many new games this year because I am currently a freshman in college and I don’t have much money or time. I love all the new features in Skyward Sword, especially the new combat system with the WiiMotion Plus. The Zelda series continues to impress me with difficult puzzles, beautiful landscapes, and the great storylines. My next game I plan to get is definitely Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, for the Playstation 3. If I don’t get it through this contest then I’ll just have to wait until Christmas!(:

I would say Skyrim from what I’ve seen my friends playing it and from all I have heard about it, but havent played it yet myself. I played the Beta for Star wars : The Old Republic, and that is awesome. So until I play Skyrim I am going to say SWTOR. Either System would be nice, as long as I could get a copy to finally play!!
I’m a bit late to the party… So far, my favorite game has to be Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I remember picking it up on launch day along with 2 other friends. We got into a xbox party and played the game at the same time, all taking different paths, choices, and abilities. We almost never talked to each other since we were so involved with the game. The only time there was any conversation was when someone would say something like “Ohhhh…. SICK!!!” which of course was followed by everyone else asking what AMAZING trick they pulled. Want a shooter? Want a stealth game? Want a game where you can punch through a wall, turn invisible, jump up into the rafters, wait for the guards to investigate the newly-created “door”, then come crashing down explosively on them from above like a comet? Deus Ex has something for everybody!!
If I get a shot at this, I’ll need the 360 version. Thanks!
Im going to give not one but TWO best game of the year thus far so brace yourselves. First off we have a legit contender for best FPS out there in my new shooter favorite Battlefield 3, although it won’t out sell the competition(honestly won’t even come close) but I think it is leaps and bounds better than MW3 in every way except brand recognition. As for my second and real choice, that will go to Star Wars: The Old Republic (Beta). In my opinion the first 10 levels of SWTOR (Swoh-Tor) are easily better than the first 50 of World of Warcraft. When Bioware said they were going to add the story element to the MMO I thought I’ll just have to hear some droid ramble on about protocol, but what they’ve done here is immerse you in the Star Wars galaxy and draw you into really feeling like a Sith Lord or Jedi Knight. Like Battlefield 3 it won’t win in the sales department this year, but I think we have another contender for Game of the Year on the way December 20th. Xbox 360 if you would please :)
So far game of the year for me has been Battlefield 3 and Batman Arkham City a close 2nd. but I haven’t played Skyrim yet so I guess my opinion could change if I win :D
Oh man this game looks so very…very…tasty! <3
Sounds cliche but I gotta say Skyrim, I been playin it nonstop! I can take a copy for either 360 or PS3.
My favorite so far this year is Portal 2. If I win, I’d prefer the Xbox 360 version, though I could use either. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have been having fun with Battlefield 3 as well. Xbox 360.
