![]() 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.

Also andaryu, why did you conflate RPG and strategy? The two have absolutely zero to do with each other. |

I'll add the new nominations here shortly. Thanks for all the nominations everyone and keep them coming! This seems to be going very smoothly, I'm happy with the results.Like I said in the first post, I took the idea directly from Nintendo Power. I even took the same categories so ask them them why they stuck the two together!

I would say (as I did in my nominations post) that we split them up simply because they are two completely different genres. I bet Nintendo Power got lazy =P |

The only time RPGs and strategy games are alike is in the case of games like Fire Emblem. |

Okay let's split the two categories up. I'm all for taking suggestions to better improve the contest. I'll add Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for my strategy nomination. Should we make a Best Fighting Game category? I know there are not a lot of fighter fans here so probably not. Edited by andaryu, Mar 3 2011, 02:00 PM.

Yeah, I don't think a category for them should be included, for the same reason you stated. |

I added the latest nominations and split up the category for Best RPG and Best Strategy Game. Polan, how is Trine for PS3? I've seen it on the network and it looks interesting. Also, for Best Multiplayer game you nominated Spiral Knights. What's that? Never heard of it, but it has an awesome name. |

Spiral Knights is some kind of Zelda-like MMORPG. He wanted me to try it out; I made an account but I keep forgetting to try it. For strategy games, I nominate Starcraft Brood War and Starcraft II. If that's too weird, just SC2 will do. |
