![]() 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. Categories___________________________________________________ Best Game (Game of the Generation) Best Downloadable Game Best Graphics Best Music (Best Original Score) Best Adventure Game Best Voice Acting / Sound Effects Best Shooter Best Music / Rhythm Game Best RPG Best Strategy Game Best Sports Game Best Action Game Best Platformer Best Puzzle Game Best Multiplayer Game Best New Character Best Story Best New Idea Best Retro Revival Best Indie Game Nominations__________________________________________________ Last Updated: 3/31/11 Best Game (Game of the Generation) - Fallout: New Vegas - Final Fantasy XIII - Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - Final Fantasy Dissidia - The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks - StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty - Starcraft: Brood War - Team Fortress 2 Best Downloadable Game ☆WINNER☆ - Mega Man 9 & 10 - - - - - - - Best Graphics ☆WINNER☆ - Crysis - - - - Best Music (Best Original Score) ☆WINNER☆ - Super Mario Galaxy 2 - - - - - - Best Adventure Game ☆WINNER☆ - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - - - - Best Voice Acting / Sound Effects ☆WINNER☆ - Final Fantasy Dissidia - - - - - Best Shooter ☆WINNER☆ - Counter-Strike: Source - - - - - - Best Music / Rhythm Game - Chime - AudioSurf - Guitar Hero Best RPG Game ☆WINNER☆ - Final Fantasy XIII - - - - - - - - Best Strategy Game ☆WINNER☆ - StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty - - - Best Sports Game - Gran Turismo 5 - Mario Kart Wii - Mario Sports Mix Best Action Game - Monster Hunter Portable 3rd - Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - Mass Effect 2 - Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Best Platformer ☆WINNER☆ - Super Mario Galaxy 2 - - - - - Best Puzzle Game - Braid - 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors - Puzzle Quest Best Multiplayer Game - Monster Hunter Portable 3rd - Starcraft II - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - Final Fantasy Dissidia - Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Mario Kart Wii - Spiral Knights - Team Fortress 2 Best New Character - Dr. Fetus (Super Meat Boy) - Benny (Fallout: New Vegas) - Aqua (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep) - Ventus (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep) - Cosmos (Final Fantasy Dissidia) - Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII) - Jiro (Blue Dragon) Best Story - Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey - Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Fallout: New Vegas - Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - Kingdom Hearts Re: coded - Blue Dragon - Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Best New Idea - Amnesia: The Dark Descent - 3D Dot Game Heroes - Scribblenauts - Demon's Souls Best Retro Revival - Final Fantasy The Four Heroes of Light - Mega Man 9 - Mega Man 10 - New Super Mario Brothers Wii - Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride - Donkey Kong Country Returns Any additional categories would be great, but let's not go overboard.

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. |

Are we only picking form 2010? Best Game (Game of the Year) Best Downloadable Game - Minecraft or VVVVVV Best Graphics - Who cares? Resident Evil 5? Best Music (Best Original Score) - I'm liking Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light Best Adventure Game - Amnesia: The Dark Descent Best Voice Acting / Sound Effects - Amnesia: The Dark Descent Best Shooter - N/A didn't play any brand new FPS or SHMUPs from 2010. Best Music / Rhythm Game - N/A Best RPG / Strategy Game - Z.H.P; SMT: Strange Journey Best Sports Game - N/A Best Action Game - Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Best Platformer - Super Meat Boy Best Puzzle Gamer - N/A Best Multiplayer Game - Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Best New Character - Dr. Fetus (Super Meat Boy) Best Story - Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey; Amnesia: The Dark Descent Best New Idea - Amnesia: The Dark Descent ("Let's actually make horror scary!") Best Retro Revival - FF4 Heroes Small group or whatever, it takes like 5 minutes to fill this out. I'm sure my picks will change with time. |

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? Edited by andaryu, Feb 4 2011, 08:22 PM.

Die pig!

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. Edited by Storm, Feb 4 2011, 10:03 PM.

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! I'll post my own nominations soon, although a bunch of them have been nominated already. Edited by andaryu, Feb 5 2011, 03:27 AM.
