Rayman Origins

Best Puzzle Game:

Professor Layton and the Last Specter

I just realised how few new games I've played this year.

 

[Green_Lantern]

Does Limbo count as a contender this year? It was originally released in 2010...

 

[StickyGreenGamer]

Best Action/Adventure Game - Batman: Arkham City
Best Shooter - Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2
Best Role-Playing Game - Dragon Age 2
Best Fighting Game - Mortal Kombat!
Biggest Disappointment - Dead Island, L.A. Noire
Best Remake/Rerelease - Mortal Kombat
Game of the Year - Mortal Kombat, Batman: Arkham City

I'm pretty sure that is all the new games I've played this year.

It released on PC and PS3 this year.... I guess I'll allow it though I don't see it earning a lot of votes in light of some of the downloadable games this year.

Sad part is I can't name a good PS3-exclusive game that came out this year.

LAST CHANCE FOR NOMINATIONS

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Are we going to have a Best Puzzle Game? Because I would nominate Catherine for that.
And did anyone nominate Bastion for Best Downloadable game? Because if not, throw that in there.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Also, double posting because I just got Rayman: Origins and I want to see if it's worthy of nomination for stuff. Like Game of the Year.

Ooooh, also, I have an idea. Best OST.
Though it's prolly too late now... why is the GOTY stuff happening so early? The year doesn't end for another month and a half.

Going to get a start on it since we're going to do the community award showdown style. Best OST is good too if you've got nominations for that.

Best OST:
Bastion
Catherine
Deus Ex: HR
