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.

Are those nominations Enrei? Maybe Scott Pilgrim isn't an Indie game then. :ermm:

Those are my nominations, yes.
SP should be, but I haven't played it yet! Despite my love for the SP tri-force, I just haven't gotten around to downloading it on my Xbox.
Edit: Scott Pilgrim was developed by Ubisoft, therefore, not indie.

Cool, added to the list. I'll keep Scott Pilgrim on there even if it's not.

Argh, I think you posted right as I edited XD
SP was developed by Ubisoft, so it isn't entirely indie.

Hmm... I'm really wondering if this category is even a good idea since no one even knows what an Indie game is. See, I don't even have a clue what it is.

I'm going to feel awkward and out of place if no one else has played any...

I'm just going to remove the category since not many people around here know about it. It probably wouldn't get a whole lot of votes anyways, but hey, those games you nominated are in several other categories already.

I updated the nomination/category winners format.

So what does everyone think of the contest so far? Any suggestions before we continue? We still have a lot to go, so things should pick up.

Cool. I know it's late but I'm gonna nominate Vanquish for best shooter category. I liked what I've played of it so far, and I don't play many shooters so I wouldn't feel right voting for the others since I haven't played any of them. (minus Ikaruga, but I wouldn't vote for it cause it's ungodly unforgiving)

If anyone has any last minute nominations, feel free to do so. Just as long as I get the nomination before I start the voting for that category.
