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.

For the best graphics category, I have a question. For example, the graphics in Super Mario Galaxy 2 are absolutely INSANE for the Wii, but obviously, the Wii hinders anything greater than that.

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".
Andaryu, I'm just saying what you said. XD

SMG2 is visually more appealing than a lot of PS3/360 games, in my opinion. I think it should be able to compete with them.

I was actually planning to nominate SMG2 for Best Graphics myself, I think it can contest with even some of the prettiest PS3/360/PC games. Even though the Wii itself isn't HD it's fine.

Let's not over complicate things. If you think a game is worthy for the nomination then do so! We will see what everyone's favorite is when it comes time to vote.

Should Dissidia really be nominated for music? Most of its music isn't original. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only original songs in the entire game are Cosmos, the Chaos battles, and the title screen theme.

Actually, that's a good point Slash thanks for pointing it out! I'll nominate something different.

Dissidia goes better with Best Voice Acting / Sound Effects anyways!
