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.

Thanks Zidane! I'll add your nominations Storm and we'll get the contest underway. Thanks to everyone for nominating!

When we start the voting, I'll do 2 or 3 at a time and keep the poll running for a couple of days so everyone has a chance to participate.

Also, I'll post the winners in this thread (first post) so check to see some results once we get rolling.

Let the NA Awards 2011 begin! Let me know how you guys like the format I used for the voting. I'm going to start the contest with just one poll to see how it goes at first and be sure to check back here for the results if your interested in who won.

Side note: Maybe it's just me, but we should archive the old Contest stuff. I think we should do that with every finished contest so that people don't get confused as to which is going on and post in dead areas.

That's a good idea. I'll get on it later.

Here's another idea, about the contest itself, but it might be late for this: Instead of actual nominations in the Game of the Generation section, we should just use the winners of each section. Just a thought but how could a game possibly be better than everything else without winning at least one of the other awards?

Actually, I would have taken care of that already if I had the powers to do so.

EDIT: As for your idea Polan. We could do something similar. Like after all the voting is over, we could do a 'Top Rated Game' poll where you can only vote for the winners of the categories.

Enrei suggested Best Indie Game so I'll add it to the list. We need nominations for it though, at least 3 to go through with it.

I nominate Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World The Game cause its the only Indie game I've played. (I believe)

What's an Indie game? I'm not sure if I've even played any.

An Indie game is any game made by an unknown developer. Check out Steam, there's a whole Indie section.

If it's from some random company you've never heard about, and it's on the PC or is DLC on a console, chances are it's an Indie game.

I think the actual definition is like a company that makes less than X amount a year...but I don't remember.

God damn it...I typed out my list and it got deleted @.@
Most indie games lately have been extremely proud of being Indie, so it's easy to tell...
My list:
Cave Story(luckiest Japanese basement dweller, ever!)
VVVVVV
Super Meat Boy
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Monday Night Combat
Dwarf Fortress
Minecraft
