The thread right below this one gave me the idea for this.
Nominate your personal selections for the best games of the year. I want this to be a bit different than other "Best of the Year" awards, though. Don't limit your selections to things released this year. What are the best games you played this year? It could be something released in 1997, and if this year was the first time you played it, list it.
Game of the Year
Console Game of the Year
Handheld Game of the Year
PC Game of the Year
Action Game of the Year

Character of the Year
Developer of the Year
Best Graphics
Best Music/Sound
Best Gameplay
Best Story
Best Voice-Acting Performance
Best Game Nobody Played
Worst Game of the Year
Don't go nominating something you either haven't played or haven't actually tested in person. In other words, don't go nominating Metroid prime 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3 if your haven't played them. Reading a review and deciding that it's the game of the year based on that is lame.
Well, it's certainly a shame that the thread must be dumbed down to suit people like me, but it's probably the only way this thing will get any activity. Imstill going to have a lot of "N/As"in the place of genres I dont touch.

I didn't say "list the best games released this year," I said "list the best games you played this year." I doubt there's anyone here but me(and possibly one or two others) who could actually fill out that entire list using games that were only released this year. I couldn't even do it, because I played no PC games this year.
