Due to the failure of the previous contest, I've been thinking of a simple yet fun contest we could do where everyone on the site could participate. After reading January's Nintendo Power, I got the perfect idea.

Let's hold the first NA Awards 2011 contest. The rules will be simple and once we get things underway you may actually learn a thing or two about another member's personal favorite game. This is also a great chance to discuss that game amongst everyone, and there's no time limit so members can get to the topics when they have the chance.

Rules:
-Try to nominate new games only from this generation (PC, 360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP)
-Can Nominate as many games as you want.
-Can Nominate the same game as much as you want.

Prizes:
-Best Game will be featured in it’s own banner/theme for the site.

If anyone has any better Rules/Prizes idea please share! Anything to make it more enjoyable. Here are the categories.

It's a good idea, but I think we need to see how many people are interested first.

If there's not enough people interested, what kind of contest could this site have then? This one is general enough for everyone to find something interesting, it doesn't have to be so large scale. I wanted to do recent games anyways.

I think it could be fun. I'd really like to know what games make everyone's top of the list to better help me and others try out games that could have went under my radar.

If anyone's interested, post some nominations! There's no time limit so take your time. It doesn't have to be just newly released games but try to stay with the current generation. (PC, 360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP)

I'm confused about something, though:

Rules:
Nominations from the past 4 years. (Recent)


What does this mean?

I would suggest that if we do this type of contest, then we're limited to one per series. For example, the one thing in the GameFAQs one that REALLY REALLY pissed me off is that you'd see:
Halo
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo Reach
Halo ODST (Or whatever the hell it's called)
Halo Wars
(Name another Halo game if I missed one)
God of War
God of War 2
God of War 3
PSP God of War (Forget the subtitle)
Etc...

By the time you were done, there were 30 Games when they say there's like 100. There's really only 30 because 70% of them are the exact same game, just a sequel with minor, inconsequential changes.

I would say if you really had to have a debate over it, have a vote on which game is the best out of the series to choose which one would show up on the vote.
