Will the voting be limited to games you've actually played? If not then I nominate Xenoblade Chronicles for best Wii exclusive. I was lightly following the game up until its release and the world seemed pretty cool based on what I saw. I'll add in The Last Story as an honourable mention because these two seemed like the only worthwhile Wii games this year.

Why would you put DS and 3DS in the same category? They're from different generations. Same with PSP and Vita.

Dude has a point.



I've been lurking over at the gearbox forums. There are people who honestly think that Borderlands 2 shouldn't be nominated for GOTY because of a few bugs/glitches (one of them was bad, and I got hit by it also). But to tell them not to get nominated because of how bitter they are is just wrong.

Borderlands 2 is a fantastic game and a complete blast to play solo or co-op.

I honestly have no idea what most of these games are.I seriously Gotta keep up with current console instead of just playing retro games.

EDIT: Just got the new Paper Mario, I'll update when I beat it, but it's definitley getting a few awards from me.
Best game of 2012
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, great game in a great series, best combat from the series yet, the Dream Eaters were cool and not just crappy sidekick replacements like I had feared, it looks, feels, and plays great, plus I love the storyline :3

Worst game of 2012
No vote.

Best Xbox 360 exclusive
Halo 4, since it's the only exclusive I bought this year, I like it and think it's a really fun time.

Best Playstation 3 exclusive
Don't have one

Best Wii exclusive
...did any Wii games come out this year?

Best WiiU exclusive
Didn't get one yet, probably Monster Hunter Tri Deluxe

Best PC exclusive
Diablo 3, despite the hate cloud about it I still had a lot of fun playing it.

Best Nintendo 3/DS exclusive
Kingdom Hearts 3D/ Dream Drop

Best PSP/Vita exclusive

Honestly, I can't even think of enough games to put in. They either came out last year or I haven't played it, so I can't judge it.
