I would have said Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright (3DS) for Game of the Month but that was only released in UK/Europe

Ever since I got this game, I haven't touched anything else. It's truly an incredible experience.

deserve it

@KamikazeDonut: hell yeahh they are, really enjoyed them both

For me, it's either Dark Souls II or South Park: The Stick of Truth. I think DS2 wins by the thin margin of it being a very nuanced and challenging game, whereas South Park was a bit on the easy side, despite how surprisingly good the combat is.
