Biggest letdown Modern Warfare 2 'PC' or Left 4 Dead 2

Best Innovator/new idea AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity

Overall Game Of The Year It's been quite a disappointing year all things considered with so many games jumping ship to next spring thanks to MW2 so probably has to be Killing Floor again

Best Wii Game New Super Mario Bros Wii, is there anything else worthy of mention?

Best DS Game I want to say Spirit Tracks but not played enough as yet, I'm honestly struggling to think of anything I've lost alot of time to on DS

Best 360 Game Forza Motorsport 3

Best PS3 Game N/A, does anyone on here own a PS3?

Best PSP Game My head says LittleBigPlanet, my heart says Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! What Did I Ever Do To Deserve This?, the hidden snob in me agree's with the latter so its that.

Best PC Game I'm struggling to drag myself away from Torchlight at the moment and thats the only think on PC that I've that was released this year that I've been playing


Best Single Player Game New Super Mario Bros Wii
Best Offline Multiplayer Game I dont play offline multi on anything bar Smash Bros Wii but that was last year(?)
Best Online Multiplayer Game Um, I really liked Firefight mode on Halo 3 ODST but it was absolutely crippled by lag, Forza 3 is more of the same and I'm struggling to think of anything I bothered with beyond those two multiplayer wise this year.

Worst Game Lord of the Rings Conquest

Overall Game Of The Year Well my staff picks for bitparade are increasingly feeling like they'll be Forza 3, Mario Bros Wii and Torchlight, at this moment in time I couldn't possibly pick one from the three purely because they each satisfy their own little itch.

[Tyrian3]

Best Wii Game: New Super Mario Bros. no real competition there.
Best DS Game: for me it's a tie between Mario&Luigi and Zelda.
Best 360 Game: I wanted to vote Fallout 3 GOTY but I guess it's against the rules it has been released this year but the game itself is from last year. I say Forza 3 even if I think it's far from being perfect but I don't like FPSes a lot and that's the category most of the more acclaimed 360 games fall in (I'm looking at you, MW2!).
Best PS3 game: no Duane, I don't think anybody does. No PS3 for me too.
Best PSP game: last game I played on PSP was...man, I don't even remember.
Best PC Game: Football Manager 2010 

Best Single Player game: again, I'd cast my vote for Fallout but I don't think I can. FM2010 and Mario share the first place.
Best Offline Multiplayer Game: from what I've seen so far Mario is great. I still prefer Mario Kart though. Fifa 10 is up there aswell.
Best Online Multiplayer: I don't play online.

Worst Game: there'd be a lot to talk about here really. PES 2010 was a big disappointment, as well as Gardening Mama.

Overall Game of the Year: I go for Bowser's inside story. wonderful little game! Mario and Zelda Spirit Tracks are on the podium.
I played a lot of 360 this year (bought it in January) but most of what I played is Fallout 3 and other stuff from past years.

Best Wii Game New Super Mario Bros Wii, with out a doubt.

Best DS Game TLOZ: Spirit Tracks, I think without ST Professor Layton would have taken it for me (although I sunk way more time and had more fun with Pokemon Platinum, it's been done)

Best 360 Game I'll through my vote toward Batman.

Best PS3 Game Don't own it, but've played a few games this year, and Katamari Forever gets my vote. It's so fun. I hope no one else votes for PS3 and Katamari takes it by default. And then we can send the list to Takahashi-san and tell him that Nintendo owners love Katamari and want it on a Nintendo system. Stat.

Best PSP Game N/A 

Best PC Game N/A 

Best Single Player Game New Super Mario Bros Wii

Best Offline Multiplayer Game New Super Mario Bros Wii, co-op counts yeah?

Best Online Multiplayer Game N/A

Worst Game Mini fucking Ninjas!

Overall Game Of The Year Shockingly, NSMBW.

The lack of love for Henry Hatsworth is displeasing

[Stuart]

The lack of love for Henry Hatsworth is displeasing

The problem I had with Hatsworth was it was simply too hard, and not in a "I'm only saying that cos I'm crap" kind of way, but in a "damn this invisible hole that I have no chance of avoiding oh and an enemy too somewhere I can't jump" kind of way.

Which sucks, because the game itself is brilliant and original and worthy of greatness, but that unfair difficulty can't be ignored...

Anyway, here are my votes -
Best Wii Game New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Best DS Game Mario & Luigi : Bowsers Inside Story or Laytons Diabolical Box or Spirit Tracks.....  I'll go Mario & Luigi
Best 360 Game Forza 3
Best PS3 Game hahahahahahaha, erm, from pictures and demos I've played at friends, I'd have to go with Katamari Forever, the second game I want a PS3 for.  Nearly at 5 lol.
Best PSP Game Little Big Planet
Best PC Game Don't play games on the PC.....
Best Single Player Game New Super Mario Brothers Wii
Best Offline Multiplayer Game The Beatles : Rock Band
Best Online Multiplayer Game Left4Dead 2
Biggest Disappointment MW2
Overall Game Of The Year New Super Mario Bros. Wii

The lack of love for Henry Hatsworth is displeasing

I've picked this up on your backing and I have to say, it's not bad. I'm through a few levels. I like the mix of platforming and Panel de Pon (didn't think I would, I didn't realize the action on the top paused whilst the puzzling is going on), the sprites are very pretty, and the music is bloody awesome (I did download the soundtrack when the game came out and have enjoyed it for a while).

That all said...it's still not better than Zelda, but that's okay, it's a high bar.

1 more day to get your votes in!

Best Wii Game: Beatles Rock Band (haven't played New Super Mario)
Best DS Game: Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Best 360 Game: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Best PS3 Game: I am proud to say I have never even seen a PS3 in my life.
Best PSP Game: No idea
Best PC Game: Left 4 Dead 2

Best Single Player Game: I'll pass
Best Offline Multiplayer Game: Beatles Rock Band
Best Online Multiplayer Game: Left 4 Dead 2

Worst Game: Someone else can have my vote - I haven't played enough to decide.

Most addictive game: Plants vs. Zombies. Yes. Really.

Overall Game Of The Year: Beatles Rock Band because I like rhythm games and everyone else has gone for New Super Mario which I will admit I haven't played yet. I like to be awkward.


Why isn't there more Beatles Rock Band and Left 4 Dead 2? Stu and I are the only ones to have voted for Beatles. And that's not right.
