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.

Well since this is for next gen games, there's not too many sequels to contend with except Halo. But I agree. Like for example, Super Mario Galaxy 2 should be over the original SMG.

It doesn't have to be "only one from each series" but if the games are nearly exactly the same and don't offer a whole of new features, then let's just stick with the most current one.

I added your nominations to the op, Enrei. It doesn't have to be from 2010. This current generation is good enough, just be sure it's for PC, 360, Wii, PS3, DS or PSP. As for Game of the Year, let's just make that "Best Game For This Generation".

EDIT: btw what's VVVVVV?

If it's a change in Genre it's fine, but for the most part sequels tend to be exactly the same at the core.

Indie 2D platformer. Instead of your usual jumps, you flip between the ceiling and ground, which makes for a few small puzzles here and there, and some extremely difficult parts.
Spoiler: click to toggle

I'll make a current-gen list later, I guess.

That's cool, I knew I would find out about new games by doing this contest!

Enrei, could you put that pic in a spoiler tag? It's stretching the page out and I need to keep this topic as organized as possible to not miss any nominations. Thanks for the image though! It's also great to have a visual on what someone's talking about.

I've added your nominations Zidane, Shenmock. Very nice additions! And Shenmock, I love the name idea "Game of the Generation", it has a nice ring to it! :grin:
