Alrighty. So I figure its that time of year that we should decide on our own awards for this past year of 2009!

Tried to get something similar going in this thread, but only a few people put nominations up - all of which are regular to the folder. WE NEED MORE TRAFFIK!

Ten years ago I would have been right here, but I don't play enough games anymore to make any informed decisions.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Thanks for running the thread Kageho, I think this will be fun. I will have to sit down and figure what to put down before the 5th. May have to try to squeeze in a couple of the titles I didn't get to play yet. I'm guessing a certain Caped Crusader will run away with a few of the awards but I'm interested in seeing how the board votes.

I had forgotten Best Fighting Game and Best Surprise, sorry folks. I'll also put up my "other categories" later. My mind was getting blown after all the games I was trying to put up. If you are wondering why there is no PC category, its simply because nearly everything on the PC is a multi platform game. Or anything I can remember anyways.

Also, yes, I do realize that a lot of people (ok, nearly everyone) says Demon's Souls is an RPG. To me, it felt more like an action game, and we're getting to the point that RPG really needs to be replaced with "fantasy" instead.

 

[bps21]

I can't fill all that out.

Arkham Asylum was my GOTY.

That's all I got.

 

[FLAM]

Uncharted isn't multiplatform.

Game of the year: Uncharted 2

Best Multiplatform:
1)Resident Evil 5
2)Arkham Asylum

Best Playstation 3 game: Uncharted 2

Best Action Adventure game: Uncharted 2

Best Fighting Game: Street Fighter IV

Best RPG: Demon's Souls

Worst Game: Punisher No Mercy

Best Story: Arkham Asylum

Best Surprise: Ghostbusters

What do you mean by Best Disappointment? A game that was disappointing that was still fun? Or the most disappointing?

I'd also like to add a couple of my own

Best Multiplayer: Modern Warfare 2

Best downloadable game: Fat Princess

 

[Matt Young]

I was going to start a thread like this, but you saved me the work. I'll be posting my choices tonight or tomorrow.

 

[NoCalMike]

Yeah I think one of the problems is that so many categories are there when a bunch of us don't have nominess for everything.

My year of gaming is pretty much summed up with the following.

Game of the Year: Uncharted 2
PS3 GOTY: Uncharted 2

Wii GOTY: New Super Mario bros.

Best Mutli-platform game: Modern Warfare 2

Best Sports GOTY: Madden '10

 

[muzzington]

PC gaming has fallen hard if it doesn't even get it's own category.

[luke-o]

I didn't do enough gaming across consoles to warrant posting in here. Sorry guys.

 

[Black Lushus]

Same.

 

[Kageho]

Hey guys, sorry about the delay on this. I had some really nasty food poisoning and needed to lay low for a week and a half.

Because I had to be sick and some people (including myself) didn't get their entries totally finished, I'll be giving everyone till this coming Tuesday to get their votes in.

Again really sorry, but being violently ill to start the new year was not exactly the way I wanted to start the year.
